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?

    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:

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
