Watts and Jurrah in the forward line, exciting times! Grimes with the kick-in, delivers to Sylvia, plays on and runs up the wing with a couple of bounces, draws the man and hands off to Bennell, look at him go, has a bounce, looks to deliver inside 50 and Watts on the lead takes the mark 50 out directly in front. Davey is running past and Watts hands off, Davey sees Jurrah one-out in the square and Jurrah with a strong mark in the square goes back and kicks his first goal in the AFL what a play for the Dees and Melbourne lead 1.0 to 0.1 here on Friday-Night football.

I don't think its playing to Jurrah's strengths to just leave him one out in the goal square; he probably wouldn't win an arm wrestle at this stage.

True but given space and kicked to adavantage he would be hard to beat on the lead, as would Watts.

I think our forward structure will need a complete rethink if these two blokes are included.

I can't see him out-wrestling anyone's full back at this stage, but can you see any of those full backs matching him on the lead? From the little I saw on the TV a couple of weeks ago, he's lightning.

Our delivery into the forward line will just sit it on top of his head... He'll have no chance, play him on the flank, let him run around, just like he has for Casey. He hasn't been playing full forward for them...

Agree

His lack of body strength would give away his own strengths if played as a KP foward

As far as physique goes Watts is another example of a CHF waiting for his body to catch up

Royce Hart didnt start at CHF either

I hope he plays against the 'dons on Friday. 11 goals in 3 weeks means his form is good, and if DB is true to his word of picking the team on form, he'll be in, no doubt.

I don't think you have anything to worry about. He has to be a absolute dead set certainty. I'm going on Friday so I sure hope he does too !!

We know it's likely Miller will come back in and you'd expect Bennell and Jurrah too as well.

Selection is going to be VERY interesting this week.

Bradley is much maligned, he does however provide a physical presence that I think will make life easier for the likes of Watts and Jurrah.

Yeah, Japaljarri is posting on the Big Footy Melbourne Board. Seems to be suggesting it is a certainty that Liam will play on Friday night.

Will be interesting to see if Rudeboy has anything to add to this.

Sounds like Liam is in. Rock and Roll!!!!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
