I think they'll play scarlett on whoever they deem to be the most dangerous forward. The Geelong back line seems to have the flexibility to line up based on best matchup, rather than best position.

not necessarily. for example Scarlett wouldn't line up on Bennell or Davey, if they're seen as the most dangerous. It will more than likely be a tall, either Watts or Miller.

The beauty of Scarlett is he can play on anyone, small, tall, short or quick. No many match ups up really worries him. We need to exploit them on the rebound, they run off and back their attacking footy. If we can put midfeild pressure on like they have not seen before, then get it in quick, then we are a chance.

We have to be ferocious and uncompromising this weekend, this game could define our future. it is a critical match in terms of where we are and how we are managed to bounce back from a hooror road trip, energy sapping conditions and a thrilling euphoric win.

Cant wait to see how we confront the toughest gig in Footy.

EDIT: sorry, does not have alot to do with Watts, but i have to post in this thread, it would not feel right if i didnt.

does it have to be Scarlett ? It could be Taylor or Mackie. Scarlett would be on Miller if they set up Miller at FF.

I wonder if Tom Lonergan will be dropping back in the hole with Miller steaming out from FF, Me thinks not.

May well do Steamin. Ouch. They have plenty of options, Geelong.

Whatever the case. Miller, Sylvia & Watts must contest at every possible opportunity and if they cannot mark, the ball needs to hit the deck. Here our small forwards need to be proactive and be dangerous. Bennell, Jetta, Trengove, Scully, Davey & Co. the fleet footed players - we need a fair share of goals from these guys against Geelong.

I think if our midfield can play reasonably okay and put pressure on Geelongs (which is really unheard of down at Skilled) and if our defenders make things hard for Geelong, I think this will be a low scoring affair between the two sides.

Our players just need to back themselves, play on at appropriate times every opportunity and play confidently. If they do that and work back in numbers, you never know. Huge task, but I can't wait to see them challenge the best on one of the best surfaces.

It will be interesting to see who goes when LJ is back especially if Miller holds his form, it could get to the stage where the forward line is rotated with players rested for short spells. It would seem that players like Dunn will really struggle to get back and I couldn't see Newton getting another game with the club.

so instead of talking about this weeks game in general, how about we keeping talking about how much JACK WATTS has shown in the last two games. How clean he is with his disposal. How he seems to have so much time every time he collects the ball. How he is going to be the CHF we've been needing ever since the OX went down with those knee reco's. This guy is something we can continue to be excited about and it'll absolutely awesome to see how he goes against the best team in the land. Oh, and the best thing....the game will be televised on channel 10 at 3pm this Saturday!! For some reason i thought Ten only showed Saturday evening games, so this is awesome news.

By the way - 4 posts until 1000

just watched the first half of melb vs port...Watts did some great things.

if i had the choice between Watts having the same body now but have played 50 games or 10kgs...I'd take the 50 gamers...i think games in watts will be more important for this kid than kg's.

Interesting hypothetical. He obviously will get better with

game time but he certainly needs more strength.

He can't yet compete in a pack situation or a 1 on 1.

Once he gets this strength only then will people really see why

he's a number 1 draftpick. Until then, he'll have to suffer the

taunts that Natanui was the best option.

to do with the watts nat debate, i'd throw hill in there. i mean why not that way we can compare a forward a ruck and a midfielder. different roles different teams different needs.

All three when mature will probably be able to take a game and turn it. it just comes down to who can do it more consitently and what the team needs.

I know this is a very unpopular thing to say, but are we fooling ourselves about Jack Watts. From what we can gather about the game at the weekend young jack was beaten pointless by a less than top 50 draftee. Why was this so? Was he injured? Was he unfit? Or was he not good enough?

I dearly hope I am wrong on this, but I fear he may be another Molan.

Reassure me someone. Show me evidence to the contrary.......

It all started with this...

So flag 2014 make it 1000.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
