I said this the other week that they have the potential to cause havoc for opposition teams, and got shot down in flames, after watching Friday night i do now know that i was right, they do have the potential to come together as one and smash the other teams defence...... exciting times ahead!!!

They will but lets just keep it quiet for a bit longer...keep the lid on it, & lets wait till we are a little closer to a september tilt. Don't forget its taken Rooey & kosi this long to really click.

I heard an interview recently where Kosi admitted that he and Riewoldt have only now just started working as a team and not competing with each other for goals.

Correct they were always getting in each others way...it's taken 5 years. So many people on this site are so impatient. I can understand why but we gotta get this one right. We have a big chance here..

Possibly Fraser Gehrig as well......

im really not sure how the draft is going to go. the question is WILL WEST COAST GO FOR A VICTORIAN WITH PICK 2 WHEN THEY COULD PICK UP A SLIGHTLY LESS TALENTED WEST-AUSTRALIAN?

if so, we wont get butcher.

Of course not. Thats a ridiculous assertion.

Good for you, CB.

You're on record here, too. It'll be bumped the next time either has a shocking patch of form but I have to say I was pleasantly suprised with the ability of both players to calm down and think things through.

Jurrah should have had 3 if others knew how to shepard and Watts could have kicked a couple more if he hadn't gone unnoticed.

I really think, at this early stage, that Bate and Sylvia kicking to Jurrah and Watts can make a very productive attack.

oh really.you think we would have picked Watts over Naitanui if Naitanui was a Victorian? i believe we wouldn't.

to think that clubs like West Coast and fremantle don't take into consideration the origin of the player is just naive. Players leaving after a few years or going back home is something that they don't want to face. The reason why i'm now content with Watts

i'm still not over losing scott thompson. my favourite player. And only for a pick 16. I knew he was going to be elite. grrrrr

These two should be played out of the goal square together for the remainder of the season.

Clint, this thread does you no credit. Watts for 2 games; Jurrah for 1. Suddenly the forward line is all fixed (lets get onto the mids?)

This whole notion of Watts and Jurrah fixing everything is just hand-wringing desperation.

Pathetic.

i think we would've, especially given how much we were crying out over a key forward. you can have all the mids, rucks and defenders you want, but yo still need someone to kick the goals. even a second rate forward. we don't have even that.

Pathetic, hrm, is that like claiming a 19 year old plays "frightened" because of his "make up, genetics if you like"?

I think the title of the thread was a fair hint that I was extracting the urine with this one.

Yes, I feel they will both be very good (Jurrah could become anything) and they should be played together as much as possible this season, but I'm not stupid enough to seriously put such unrealistic pressure on two young players.

Pathetic.

Gotcha!

In all seriousness, though, I think Jurrah and Watts could well become a potent combination. Not sure if they'll end up in the Franklin/Roughead or Kosi/Riewoldt league though, but finally Melbourne might have a couple of decent forwards.

    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

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    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?
