Casey Scorpions v Frankston

[Whispering_Jack 30,674]

He's had a couple of classy touches but the previous post has a point.

Having said that I'm happy to wait for another two pre-seasons before having too many expectations on him.

I think the criticism of Jack Watts is a bit over the top. He's playing a differing role today, pushing back when required and is definitely getting involved physically on a day made for small men. I think he's showed a fair bit of class. Miller is starting to impose himself on the game and PJ doing OK in the ruck.

It's a day made for players like Bartram (who has been a prolific ball getter), Wheels and Bail's getting a bit of it.

I'm also liking the game of Danny Hughes.

Watts looks soft, lets not beat around the bush.

Cant even land a tackle.

No excuse for that.

Newton is demonstrating why he plays for Casey, poor disposal and decision making.

Back onto Watts, he's coming of a rest so he's probably a little rusty. There's probably a bit of 'let down' factor as well, can't imagine playing for Casey would be as exciting as a game at the G against the pies or Bombers. *Please don't take offense Casey supporters

This is why people need to accept he will not play afl and SHOULD NOT play afl. The last thing we need is more players who cannot dispose the football properly.

I'd like to see you go in harder. He is 18 and weighs only just over 80kg so it's not surprising his attack on the footy is not up to scratch. He is, however, all class with the football in his hands.

Ha ha, no need to get personal. Being 18 and 80 odd kg is no reason not to keep your head over the ball. I said he needs to improve this and im sure he will. The guy is a number one draft pick and he needs to start showing us why. No one expects him to kick a bag but he should be having an influence at this level. He has done some nice things today but if his name wasn't jack watts i wouldn't have noticed him

Newton kicked the only goal for the quarter and Frankston was held goalless - 8.9.57 to 3.6.24

Do you have any reserves details KC?

Thanks

I will put up the details when available. Trent Zomer was the only Demon who played in the reserves. Conditions were not really made for big blokes like him but he kicked a couple.

Miller get a snag..Watts off ground

[KC from Casey 7,117]

Goals to Watts and Miller and it's out to 53 points. Watts off with a rolled ankle. Valenti has a corked hip.

I really don't understand how anyone can criticize Watts' game today.

He has done very well for a big guy playing in a completely foreign position in horrendous conditions.

His class is evident, his handballing skills are unbelievable, he knows where to run and position himself even when playing in new roles. He is just a naturally smart player. Can't teach that.

He may not lay bone-crunching tackles, but he hasn't done anything today that would make you think "he should have gone there but didn't".

His snap around the body for goal is just another example of class rising to the top.

Edit: Watts' ankle is fine. No need to panic!

[beelzebub 23,383]

crumbing goal to Creed..out to 59

An avalanche in the last quarter which has been an absolute benefit for Casey. Miller's kicked his fourth. Newton has four & the difference is 98 points.
