Funny though, as unreasonable as it sounds, and as much as you'd think this is putting unnecessary pressure on young Jack... after having met him once very briefly I'm still very confident he'll take it all in his stride.

It is interesting though.

He is 100% our MVP, for the same reasons that make Cale Morton a close second in the same category.

Am sure also he will..seems quite collected as an individual. Its nice to know what we have up our sleeve but happy to be grounded by what will run out.

Potential is really a great thing..but our real MVP's are the ones that can add to the eqation. JW can do little more than watch.

D333 ..probably no doubting that.....but they are only buying into the same trip.

The kid has tickets...written by others.. He has yet to do ONE thing in anger for our club. Let him develop and show his worth.

p.s..Id rather slow and steady than a quick burn out

There are two ways of looking at it.

1.) Player who is worth the most value on the list. = Jack Watts

2.) Most valuable player on the field at the moment. = Brock Mclean

I think the article is actually focusing on the 2nd option. And just goes to show that most non-demon AFL supporters and Media writers don't know anything about our list and to truthfull, really don't see any reason too.

Even the Ox doesn't know anything about our list.

Just puts more evidence into what Dwayne Russell said about the club a couple of weeks ago. Sad, but true.

Edit* Just re-read the article. at the top it says 'They may not be your club's most talented players, but these lynchpins are the ones your club can least afford to lose.'

Adds a lot of clarification to the article.

D333 I would summise that apart from those of us with any real interest in our club mnay have absolutley NO idea what we are or about to be. In a way that suits me fine as we are about to climb quite commensurably off the bottom dwelling echelon and make a deserved rise ( albeit slowly ) up the ladder.

We arent pretty as come media presence..in fact we're doormats..so be it..only performance and results will change that percepetion.

Tragic is right on the money. It's not unreasonable at all to say that Watts is the most important player on the list. And yes, Morton is the other.

Everyone knows that we're crying out for a star, not only because they win flags, but because they make your club relevant, increase crowds and boost membership sales. Watts and Morton are the 2 most likely to elevate themselves to that status.

Current best in today's output:

Bruce, Green, McLean, hard to name another one - Davey? McDonald? Moloney? (that's the leadership group along with Miller)

Current most important:

McLean, Morton. Grimes, Watts, Garland

Where there's overlap a team is peaking (e.g Geelong) , where there's a big difference they're rebuilding (e.g us).

A similar list for the Tigers would be instructive.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
