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!

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.

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.

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 :P

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

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

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
