No - you are wrong. Watts did some good things today. Several contested marks, blocks for teammates, clever handballs. Was not dominant at all but was useful. People love to hate Jack Watts but if you watch the game properly you'll see he is a valuable player and improving each week. All those who criticise Watts endlessly whenever he gets near it suffer from overexpectation of a 19 yr old and a lack of understanding of his role in the team. He is not a traditional key forward and that frustrates you, but support him he will be a star.

Agree. Watching him around the ground and in close at times showed yesterday he has football 'Nous". The gerat play with Sylvia running wide in the 3rd 1/4 started from a clever tap from Watts to a running player in the clear. Time is needed and he is frustrating but geez. he's 19 and played maybe 16 games

Bennell - one thrilling passage

Bail - was rarely noticed

You're tough...

Watching the game on replay, I noticed Bennell played one of his best games for us. He certainly had a few thrilling passages that you might have seen better on the television than live at the ground. One of the best things was noticing how he ran straight at the ball a few times, and actually came off ok. Was very effective with his disposals too at times, under duress.

And Bail, as per the post-game analysis on MFC.com, was on Kennedy and shut him down all day. Then at the end when Kennedy went of cramping, Bail was loosened up and got a number of touches. Very, very good game for mine. Kennedy is no slouch, even if he was playing at a ground he's not comfortable at.

"Watts - made a contest" "Watts - Just did enough" ???

Jack was by far worst on ground, to the point that myself and all the supporters around me sighed whenever the ball went within a 10m radius of him.

Rivers and Maric say hi.

Get off his case. He took 6 marks, had 15 or so touches in a tough day for forwards. His attack on the ball was sub-par, and that's what I'll say would make people grumble... and fairly.... but he was a long way from being worst on.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
