Casey Scorpions v Collingwood

i rest my case. Even when Watts had back to back 22 possession games, he still didn't deserve a debut. They were 22 of the most unassuming touches. If watts plays, it will be for tanking purposes.

I disagree with you Freak. Statistics don't always tell the story. The quality of Watts' disposal and descision marking was on display yesterday even if he didn't dominate and it wasn't really a day for the big men.

On the statistics above, I'd be making a few changes this week and it's definitely time to give Jordie McKenzie a look in.

Mark Thompson summed it up the other day when he said "there are some players that get games based on form and some that get games for their development. Tom Hawkins will be playing for the rest of the year".

It's a pretty simple philosophy. But possibly not simple enough for some.

 
coz it was laughable that he debuted ahead of newton.

In 5 years time, Newton will be long forgotten, and Watts will be a star.

The only laughable thing is that you are too dimwitted to get that.

dunn is just an example of why newton should be in the team. You've been calling for Dunns delisting when he clearly is in our best 18. He finally get s a chance and he is playing some good footy, and kicking goals...something Dunn is programmed to do. He kicks a goal or more in every game. He is one of a few that has aggression, foot skills and goal scoring abilities. If Newton gets a chance he will show you wrong just like Dunn has.

And Jaded, I know your type. You base your opinion based on where a player went in the draft. 'Oh yeh watts will be a gun PURELY based on the fact he was a top pick'. Maybe go down to casey and watch him live...i've seen him play every reserve game, every casey senior game and every melbourne game. If you didn't know he was a top pick you wouldnt even notice him

coz it was laughable that he debuted ahead of newton. if you're going on vfl form alone, newton averaged stacks more contested marks, kicked stacks more goals and laid stacks more tackles. If we were in a grand final tomorrow, I believe Watts is probably the worst on our whole list, bar rookies. And even then hughes and McKenzie are better. nothing against watts, as i'm sure he will be good in 5 years, but for now he is utterly useless

What the...

Newton played his first game in 2007 and has been given plenty of chances since then to prove his worth in the seniors (and how many times exactly can you debut)... to use your phrase when given his chances he was utterly useless. It's probably never crossed your mind that the footy department might actually know a little bit about the game... but in any case I'm backing their judgement over yours.

Once again absolute tripe. Those games were well supported and were enough form for promotion. Newton was that far from it, it wasn't funny. Once again your posts are true to form. By the way where have you been? Away on vacation with Y_M?

I would have. Granted, it's not a skill everyone possesses. ;)

Casey reserves went down to Coburg by 1 point in a thriller this afternoon - 13.12.90 to 14.7.91.

Details to come.


your a wannabe Yze Magic

your not half the man he is.

Oooooooh... that's gotta hurt!

Did you see the kick he made into the fwd 50 in the 2nd quarter to pick out Miller on the lead? Into a howling breeze he stab passed the ball 40 mts, going no higher than 10 mts from the ground onto Miller's [censored] in the middle of a congested forward line. The kid's got some talent, I think patience is the key. The big forwards have always taken a big longer to develop, Jack will be no different.

What the hell are you on about?

I can see things in Watts that are beyond unbelievable for someone his size. He possess skills and an innate football ability that few do, and those are the sorts of things that will make him a star. Plenty of young tall kids grow a body and become good player, few become stars/elite. Watts has those extra things, like awareness, smarts, the ability to find time and space and a great blind turn, that will make him a unique talent.

FFS, you sit here and tell us that Dunn has aggression, Newton should be ahead of Watts and that Grimes and Morton can't kick, and you think I have no idea about judging talent?

That you've seen Watts and Newton in action so much, and that you still make the calls that you do, is a perfect summary of why most of what you say turns out to be false.

Even after all those times you claim to have gone to Casey, you still cant see that Watts is easily a cut above the pack in the VFL. At 18, little experience, no pre season and his first time playing against men he is already showing the signs that have identified him as a serious talent. Terrible waste of petrol money when you dont understand the game.

And "oh wait" he pales into insignificance against "no flaws" Newton. :lol:

What a genius. :P

Perhaps Watts has spent to much time with Grimes and his "fundamentally flawed" kicking action. Poor man.

1 point margin, looks like a thriller.

Good to see Pierce Liddle back and in the bests. Anyone in the know at Casey have an update on him?

Oh my god you are so full of [censored]. It was you who stated in a previous topic that Jurrah wasn't going to be that great because he wasn't drafted early.

And also, Isn't Dunn the dreaded 192cm tall? you called him a dud a couple of weeks ago purely basing your argument on height and now your saying he is going to be good?

He also said that he can't kick far and isn't as fast as Naitanui.

:lol:

lol at watts. he was lucky to be promoted to the vfl seniors in the first place..let alone play for melburne. did nothing today

Coaches assessment:

"Jack Watts - played on a wing and went back into defence and although he didn't show out as much as some of the others he showed exquisite skills in the conditions, the highlight being a magnificent pass to Brad Miller against the wind in the second term."

How is it that everyone else can see it Freak but as usual you cant see the wood for the trees? :lol:

Perhaps Watts has spent to much time with Grimes and his "fundamentally flawed" kicking action. Poor man.

Spot on, 45H.

Freak has got the worst ratio on D'Land when it comes to judging players.

I mean, Grimes is 20 and taking the kick outs, but he has a "fundamentally flawed" kicking action?!

Watts will be fine, bring him back in for the Tigers, NM and Freo games.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
