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.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
