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!!!

I'm going to have a cold refreshing beer in celebration of the title. ;)

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......

 

They'll be better? :huh:

If they end up AS good as these other duo's, I'd be very happy.


and dont forget big butcher who could be on his way to us :) jeez imagine the 3 combo of jurrah, watts and butcher inside our 50 gritting their teeth!

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.

Of course not. Thats a ridiculous assertion.

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


Don't know how their lists look these days but I remember noticing a few years ago how several of the interstate lists were way over-represented with local boys.

Of course they take it into consideration.

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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
