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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
