To add to the games that i have seen him for Brighton Grammar- he won't be playing for us next year if He gets drafted, as he'll focus on Year 12 and play for Brighton

Its just the heartache from beating the dogs last year when we shouldnt of, otherwise we could get watts & naitanui, or watts and rich or rich and naitanui.

I still think we need to trade Col Sylvia or a player of his age to get another top 20 draft pick, we need as many as we can because after this year, no clubs will get good picks for a few years

    I couldn't care less.

    PS: you missed the 11 goals he kicked for Brighton earlier in the year ?

    We will take Watts with Pick 1. Something im satisfied with because he fits the bill in regards to the KPF we need.

    Having said this, I think both Watts and Naitinui would both be risky selections. In Rich we are garuanteed a classy midfielder.

    Why is Watts risky ?

    From what I have seen of him playing live he just looks like an average player. Obviously a good set of mits but I dont see him really impose himself on a game.

    We will not beat Port at AAMI.

    But we will break the hearts if all Tiger supporters with a Round 22 win to destroy their Finals dream.

    I hope you're right YM. But last weeks game was an opportunity lost to shaft WCE.

    To paraphrase an article in todays Age suggesting tongue in cheek how upset Worsfold was at the outcome; it talks about how in the 20's and 30's players were paid to "play dead" at times, and that is cheating.

    "But when you pick a team that is not very good, that's not cheating and that's not tanking. It just means you have picked a team that is not very good".

    I just hope we pick a team that is not very good against Port! Because I think some of our youngsters might be getting a sniff of just how good they can be, which I'll be most happy about after we ensure our drafting is as good as it can be.

    Bring on 2009.

    Hope you are spot on. And the Tigers can finish 9th. Again. :lol:

    PS. How was your vacation?

    I've seen Watts 'live' now 3 times. He's all class. He's fast, moves beautifully, his coach David Dickson at Metro says he's the best mark he's seen at junior level, he has superb kicking skills and at 194cms he's the best mover through traffic you'd hope to see.

    Another poster on here that rates his own opinion very highly says that "he's possibly the best decision maker I've seen and that it's virtually impossible to tackle him. Unlike Judd, he doesn't break tackles, his opponents can't lay a hand on him".

    Could of been mine. :) . Look, your above description I could not agree more or praise his ability to be able to manouevre through heavy traffic. I liken his reflexes in close - to a James Hird.

    You must be the worst judge of junior talent to have graced these forums.

    Well done.

    couldnt agree more with grimesy

    we could afford to take watts if we get a couple more top 20 draft picks, cos this is going to be a veeeeeery good draft.

    rich for me

    I'd only take Watts if we can't get an assurance from (1st option) Rich or (2nd option) Naita that there won't be a 'go-home' factor for either of them. The last thing I want is for a reverse Chris Judd situation to happen

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
