Watts v Hurley update

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    Funny how the Watts v Natanui debate has been replaced by this one.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

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

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
