Watts?

fair to say we need a KPP up front

Newton cant be it for us

 

jack Watts without a doubt, we need a power forward to rebuild around, hes skillfull on both sides, takes a great pack mark and is as athletic as Franklin

 
agree on all fronts!

Not to mention he has a pentrating long kick at goal and is very acurate under pressure, won a game for Vic Metro after the siren from 50, the gaol umpire did not move - BANG!

saw that!!!

hes a melbourne boy too.... i think we have to take him!!

hands like glue, composure and can kick goals!!

correct me if im wrong but arent we screaming out for that?


Correct - Newton and Miller are not going to be our long term permiership winning power forwards

With Aussie, Davey and Watts we have a young fast, skillful and exciting forwardline to bring some success, having unearthed some real good up an coming key backman the forwardline has to be our focus, I'd like to see Robbie warnock in the red and blue next season also, bye bye White thanks but your time is up

Hey guys, just so you know Wonaeamirri ain't that speedy (perhaps he is what he eats?).

It annoys me when commentators and others propogate this notion, presumably on the basis of his racial background.

I still love to see him play though. (just not running 40m sprint times, or kicking 40m+ for that matter).

Hazy, thank god you said it, because i've been saying it all year.

He chases hard, but that does not make him quick. He has good ball skills, but that does not make him necessarily flashy.

Sick of the quasi-racism behind the "aussie is lightning quick" movement.

Last week on the radio they were talking about Farmer having a quiet day, "Farmer has been quiet today, but so has Aussie at the other end" :huh: Aussie wasn't even in the play.

It creeps into everyday footy speak, and i personally don't like it

I have been away for a month, and haven't been able to post.

The last time I left it was Naitinui ahead of Rich, and now it is unequivocally Watts.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think it matters with the first 5 boys picked. They are all talented and its a shot in the dark to decide which 17/18 yr old will become the better player.

So go with the Vic, makes sense.

whoever we do get is likely to take at least 3 to 4 seasons to adjust to the game.

going from u/18s to senior football is a big, big step, and one that most players - the likes of judd excepted - need to take that time.

we won't see whoever we pick at their best until at least 2011 i'd imagine.

Follow that link and there is a audio file of an interview with him not long ago!

REALLY speaks well for a 17 year old kid! Never really had a favourite team in the AFL at all hahah

Born in sydney lived there 1 year then been in melbourne ever since!

I really want this kid!

Last week on the radio they were talking about Farmer having a quiet day, "Farmer has been quiet today, but so has Aussie at the other end" :huh: Aussie wasn't even in the play.

I watched the game on TV and I'm sure I heard one of the commentators call him a speedster. What idiots.

At least they won't have anyone with whom to draw inapproporiate comparisons with Naitanui!

(sorry to go off-topic I am also excited about the prospect of Watts in our forward line (after he has had time to develop of course))

david zaharakis;

from vic metro.whether bulldozing through packs or run and carry with a high turn of foot

this kid is a budding superstar. built like the preverbial outhouse and will make an impact immediately.

he was co; captain of vic metro,made all australian on the wing.

in the final against WA.he knocked up taking possessions nearly 30 by 3/4 time ( all except 1 hit a target) where the game was well won.he was rested in the last as he was stuffed.

he has pinpoint accuracy ( no turnovers from this kid )..not to mention his PASSION after a goal was kicked by teammates or after the game.

he must have been doing weights for a while so you won't have to wait 3 years to mature.like watts who is in need of a few years to develop in the gym;

read my lips DAVID ZAHARAKIS will have a cult following within 2 to 3 years. with leadership qualities.

he is a future possible captain of any club..!!

as far as the next greek adonis is concerned. MOVE OVER " KOUTA" HERE COMES "ZAHARAKIS"

i can hear the chant now.would look fantastic in red and blue.!!!

others to shine; and worth top ten.would be happy with;

"mitch banner" blonde bombshell running mid. or forward. from vic metro also top class but didn't make all australian but 28 possessions..

"clansee pearce" from WA. back pocket is built big time !!and ready to go NOW !!!

consistant delivery & relentless.. nearly 30 possies..made all australian.. class act !!!

natanui only showed glimpses of exceptionally leaping qualities and came into game in the last 1/4 when game was dusted.

needs maturing ..

"WEST COAST" ARE TANKING TO GET " DANIEL RICH" (HE ONLY MADE INTERCHANGE IN ALL AUSTRALIAN)

AS A REPLACEMENT FOR JUDD. ITS A LOCK !!!!

COME ON MR PRENDERGAST TAKE "ZAHARAKIS"

takes a great pack mark and is as athletic as Franklin

If this is true, I'll take Watts, Rich must still be a chance, as is NN

Disagree with your opinion on Miller, from what I saw in the first quarter against Freo, puts your claims to shame..

I want Rich. We are desperate for a classy midfielder, we have not had a champion midfielder in 10 years.

Watts either, I dont mind.

Correct

Woanners Watts Alwyn Davey

Alwyn Davey is "pie in the sky!"

 

just say jack watts live at a school boy match...

he played ok, he got manned up on pretty well and had good opponents

took a couple of good grabs but his kicking was not great at all...i think he kicked 0.3

hard to tell but he has a good pair of hands

that just one match, but after seeing that i dont think i would want to take him if we had the first pick

Saw the schoolboy game today. Every time he got a 1 on 1 or a 2 on 1 he marked it. Marked pretty well but had 4 on him all day. didnt do too badly considering the mass of opponents on him. Would be dissapointed if we didnt take him. Kick 1.4 which wasn't great but is usually a magnificent kick.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
