Review

Daniel Howe continued to build his game in 2018.

Bringing up his 50th game in the Hawks’ semi final loss to Melbourne, Howe is a part of the emerging young brigade which now has some considerable senior experience under its belt.

The 22-year-old received more midfield time in 2018, which resulted in him posting career-highs in disposals (17.8), contested possessions (7.4), uncontested possessions (11.2) and inside 50s (two).

Howe’s best game of the season came in the Round 16 win over the Western Bulldogs, where he was amongst the Hawks’ best with 25 disposals, eight marks, six tackles, six clearances and a goal.

Entering his fifth season, Howe will look to continue his growth and development in 2019.
