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.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
