What's worse....?

[Jarka 767]

After a weekend of footy which do you find more depressing?

At first glance it seems like a straightforward query, however taking pp's into consideration and the fact that JW is the messiah it's actually a tough one.

STOP THE PRESS,

A 17yr/old WAS NOT BOG in a tough contest?

WHAT RUBBISH, not worthy of a vote!

I take it you voted for 'Melbourne losing'

In fairness to Watts, the Casey game was rubbish. The entire team played poorly. He was probably one of a few to show promise in bursts.

Check the last line! - No vote....

As much as it pains us all a loss atm is the 2nd biggest prize in football.

Are you an idiot ? No offence intended but what a stupid question. A kid playing his 3rd game of VFL football and he had one bad game. Oh god we should delist him.

Watts playing poorly. Wanting my priority picks

This thread is a 'tongue in cheek' response to the results over the weekend and more specifically the general feeling around this place after a loss. In no way did I suggest that I'm dissapointed with JW's performance.

I'm bemused that I've had to exlain this point.

Hi guys/girls long time read, first time poster.

Not sure about this post Jarka, Watts playing badly yesterday didn't really bother me. Did you go to the game? I went yesterday and Watts seemed a young boy surrounded by bigger bodies, he was leading too early for the footy and his positioning on the ground was out of place. He wasnt playing as a leading forward just floating across the half forward line, when the ball was moved into the forward line it was already to congested for the likes of him to really have a go. The game yesterday was of poor quality and reminded me of a game of under 9's football where everyone was following the football. I hope where not going to jump of Jacks back everytime he plays an ordinary game, because yesterday showed he is a still a boy amongst men, and it will take him time to develop and play senior footy. :

To clarify, Jarka wasn't jumping on Watts' back.

Anyway, nice work on making your first post and keep them coming - particularly if you get down to Casey a bit, as it's always good to hear how the Demons players are travelling!

Jarka, prepare for continued misinterpretation of your thread

the thread is tongue in cheek because of the fact that a loss doesnt hurt nearly as much now than it would if we were challanging for finals...i walked away from the bulldogs game angry at the umpires more than anything

and on sunday, was looking forward to reading the jurrah, watts, hughes summary and only one of them played well and i was a tiny bit not happy...of course we cant put this much pressure on watts but jarka is not suggesting that so chill out.

so yes, fair question...i voted watts...i would have prefferred to read that watts had a good game than a win (if it hamperred us getting a PP) to be honest

FFS everyone lighten up. OP was just having a bit of fun.

Yeah, it was definitely one of those 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' situations

[Nasher 33,617]

Too hard to vote, as I was happy with the loss and completely nonchalant about Watts.

Personally I blame it all on Newton he is holding Watts back. Watts would have kicked 10 if Newton wasn't at full forward. Newton is the new Sautner.

Except Sautner was good

STOP THE PRESS!

A 17yr/old was quiet in a very green team?

So Watt!

He'll have his time.

As much as I usually like your posts this one is stupid. Watts is a kid doing his VCE and the MFC is a club full of kids who are learning their craft. Watts isn't the messiah and to give him that tag is unfair on us and him. I am old enough to remember Barrassi coming back as coach and my dad using the same words. Didn't help.

Depressing - None of it. If you expect a kid to be the saviour of the club then you are missing the big point. We are well placed for 2012/13 but until then expect some disapointment. The kids will make mistakes but they will get less and less with game time.

Rojik, this thread was a tongue in cheek look back at the results from the weekend, highlighting the fact that people seemed more interested in JW's performance with Casey rather than a Melbourne loss due to the pp's.

Yeah, i agree, stupid.
