I'm not fazed when he plays, I don't fit into the 'let's play him now!!!' camp. When he's ready is fine by me.

    When Jack is ready to play Senior AFL against Hard Big Men, he should play. And not one minute Before.

    I suggest Round 21-22 would be great-time to Reflect over summer & be ready for 2010.

    There is certainly no hurry this year.

    Remember the longer he waits the more Hungry for Games he should be.

    No way should he play against Essendon for his first game (unless they give us $100,000) We could really profit from his debut, needs to be a home game.

    I'd hate to think that the club is considering wheeling Watts out just to make a buck off of his debut, rather than when he's ready to go.

    He won't play in the Essendon game, I don't think he'll be ready by then. I'm thinking it'll be more like Round 18 or 19 at this stage. I think he still has alot of work to do at Casey before then.

    Watts needs to earn his spot. He needs to kick goals in the VFL and do the team things. Regardless of when he makes his debut - i hope it gives him a great opportunity in the VFL to make a good working combination with Jurra, Jetta, Hughes and co. Has already played alongside Blease and Strauss.

    is it selfish to ask that its before the 27th so that i can see the game live? (before i go overseas?) lol

    Since the day this guy was drafted he was a marketing tool for the club. Good on the club for then considering his study's and what was best for his development and not rushing him in. The club would be stupid though commercially not the debut him against West coast or Port or Fremantle he will bring at least 5,000 additional through the gate plus a lot more media coverage.

    Surely Bailey can not talk about not playing players out of form when he continues to play Miller.

    I think you're a bit harsh on Miller.

    He gets scarce and awful service most of the time, but continues to present. In that way he's had a similar season to Bate; played some good ones, some bad ones, and some adequate ones.

    A lot like the rest of the team really...

    Whoops, this is a thread about Watts.

    WCE game to bring in the bandwagoners for the second game of the year, the first being QB.

    Seems to me that this is throwing out a challenge to Watts. Tear them apart next week if you want to play on the Queens Birthday. I hope he does just that.

    Melbourne-v-West Coast

    Round 14, Saturday July 4th.

    9 games before end of the year and will still be eligable for NAB rising star award next year also.

    Question. I havent seen any Casey games in the last 3 weeks, and perhaps KC from Casey can help out here too, but is Watts playing consistently in a forward role?

    I have seen him in a couple of games where he has gone down the ground just to keep him in the game.

    Are they giving him every opportunity to get his form back?

  • Quote

    Anyone have any idea the most goals (at any level) Watts has ever kicked in a game?

    I know he kicked 9 goals for BGS playing as a year 10

    I'm with you, agree 100%.

    When he's ready, then lets play him. That said, a taste of AFL later this year wouldn't hurt, and would give him a good idea of what to expect come next year.

    IMO i don't see him being a regular player until 2011. But that's cool, he's got plenty of time, and will be well worth the wait once he's matured physically.

    Cheers I was starting to think we recruited another key forward who liked playing up the ground more than kicking goals. :blink:

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
