Watts tops another Number 1 list

Anyone putting money on watts is mad. I have a feeling he may be in contention for the 2010 rising star as we may not see all that much of him this year.

Grimes for me is the one to watch at MFC in 09 for the rising star.

Good call. I think Rich will put in a good showing, 2nd or 3rd in the rising star, bet few are better placed than Grimes.

Highly rated, skillful, hard worker, already spent a year observing & learning the system & will have put in a full AFL preseason, will be largely unknown & off other team's radars due to being out most of last year, a midfielder/HBF so has is in the right spot to earn lots of possessions (as stats do make a difference)...

he would be damn good odds too ... see ya later, i'm off to the TAB!

You said it, don't put too much on him, it might drop the odds and I haven't had a chance yet!


I am amazed Hartlett, Dangerfield, Myers and Vespremi do not figure higher in the odds. Dangerfield and Myers would be my early favourites with Hartlett heading the first year players. I would expect Grimes and Watts the most likely Demons to gain nominations this year. I think Watts will play early on this year off a flank/pocket if he performs well enough in the NAB cup/challenge games. I have copied below the odds for all players under 51.00

WATTS, Jack (MELB) 7.50

SIDEBOTTOM, Steele (COLL) 10.00

ZIEBELL, Jack (KANG) 10.00

BALLANTYNE, Hayden (FREO) 13.00

HURLEY, Michael (ESS) 13.00

SELWOOD, Scott (WCE) 13.00

RICH, Daniel (BRIS) 14.00

DAVIS, Phil (ADEL) 15.00

NAITANUI, Nicholas (WCE) 15.00

SUBAN, Nicholas (FREO) 15.00

HARTLETT, Hamish (PORT) 17.00

JOHNSTON, Lewis (SYD) 17.00

CONNORS, Daniel (RICH) 21.00

DANGERFIELD, Patrick (ADEL) 21.00

MASTEN, Chris (WCE) 21.00

VICKERY, Tyrone (RICH) 21.00

LYNCH, Tom (STK) 26.00

TRENGROVE, Jackson (PORT) 29.00

HILL, Stephen (FREO) 31.00

WARD, Callan (WBD) 31.00

YARRAN, Chris (CARL) 31.00

ZAHARAKIS, David (ESS) 31.00

GRIMES, Jack (MELB) 34.00

CORDY, Ayce (WBD) 41.00

MC KERNAN, Shaun, (ADEL) 41.00

STRAUSS, James (MELB) 41.00

SWIFT, Tom (WCE) 41.00

BEAMS, Dayne (COLL) 51.00

BLEASE, Sam (MELB) 51.00

BROADBENT, Matthew (PORT) 51.00

BROWN, Mitchell (WCE) 51.00

HENDERSON, Lachlan (BRIS) 51.00

HEYNE, Nicholas (STK) 51.00

MAGIN, Rhys (ESS) 51.00

MYERS, David (ESS) 51.00

SHUEY, Luke (WCE) 51.00

THORP, Mitchell (HAW) 51.00

VESZPREMI, Patrick (SYD) 51.00

Petterd is ineligable. I think Melbourne will get 3 nominations again next year: Watts, Grimes and Strauss

EDIT: Sorry i see you edited your post about Petterd and put in the odds. Veszpremi is at very good odds, impressed me last year.

Yes sorry M2W I put up post before I checked how many games Ricky has played.

 

I have just taken $50 and plonked $10 each on the below

Grimes @ $34

Rich @ $14

Masten @ $21

Dangerfield @ $21

Henderson @ $51

all bar Rich are 2nd year in system and highly rated but injury/circumstance kept hem out for most of 2008.


Rich or Hamish Hartlett

Unlucky. Looks like the dees got lucky about time

Instead of thinking like that I think its unfortunate we won’t get to see him play earlier. ;)

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • 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.
