Actually his recent form is patchy. He's not that far ahead considering he's bigger bodied and had an extra preseason but go right ahead living in your depressing fantasy world. In my world Watts is progressing slowly with great skills but is showing a lack of aggression at this time.

"Roost it" I think you need "very" in there.

Yes Hurley is patchy but has shown so much more. Will Watts be a better player, maybe. Will Watts be a very good player, I think so as he has all the attributes. But he has struggled and isn't in our best 22 at this point. The subject is Watts vs Hurley and Hurley wins hands down.

My only fear at this stage of his career is that the characteristics I have identified are closely aligned to the last number 1 draft pick we picked!

Harsh on Sculls. I reckon he goes alright.

Funny how the Watts v Natanui debate has been replaced by this one.

Cheer yourself up - who was better on Thursday Watts or NikNat? Natanui did very little in a dominant side whereas Watts was one of the few who showed some spirit for us. We made the right choice (though saying that about anything is almost heresy on this site at the moment)

NicNat, will be a very good player, no doubt.

If Watts keeps up what he done Thursday night he will become a star, 20-25 more games and he will be doing 90% of what people are expecting of him.

Jack Watts is progressing just fine, pity some of his older team are not backing him up at present.

It's getting ridiculous. Now you're saying that "at present" Jack Watts isn't being backed up by his senior teamates.

"At present" of course implies that this has been happening for some time. This is the same Jack Watts who was nearly dropped two weeks ago, but instead was made the sub. He's now put one good game together in a row.

Jack has actually done ok this year...credit where credit is due 45.

So Michael Hurley played well today, 31 goals 11 and Hurley kicked.... :blink:

Hurley was playing in the backline as Fletcher wasn't playing.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.
