Watched the game on TV, but what impressed me the most about Watts was he seemed to have so much time.

For example, in the last quarter he gathered the ball on the far wing, LOOKED BEHIND HIM[ learnt from Davey run down]

calmly kicked the ball to the forward on the lead for a gaol. A perfect pass on a day when so many passes went astray.

Lesson learnt get ball, assess those around you, pick out team mate and deliver lace out.

I rekon Newtons past 6 games at Casey have been worth a recall. Throw him at FF for the rest of the year then make some serious decisions on his future. Putting him in for 1-2 games dosen't do anything for his confidence. Come on Juice get a bit of C*&^ into ya.

Who cares how Watts plays for Casey just put him back up into the seniors. Needs more experience of the pressure and intesity at AFL level.

Can they just give NEWTON another crack at AFL level please......SO HE CAN SHOW EVERYONE WHY HE SHOULD NOT PLAY AFL.

No .....needs to play AFL so that we can convince the Swans that they need him at FF!!!!

Sorry to disappoint so many of you, but Newton & Valenti won't be cut. Or Bail or Bartram or PJ for that matter. Over the next few years of thin pickings from the draft, we're going to need our current fringe players just in case one or two of them step up.

Newton and PJ are contracted next year.

Valenti cant get a game at MFC in a bog awful midfield. He is unlikely to be elevated and certainly wont be rookied.

If Bail cant improve from where he is at next year then he will join Juice and PJ out the door at the end of 2010.

Fringe players that cant press and hold their spot in a bottom ranked side are not worth keeping on your list.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
