How can anyone justify Watts being in the team before Ricky Petterd? Bizarre.

Petterd is clearly double the player at this stage and has shown he can take a better contested mark etc. There is no logical decision to have Watts in the team before Petterd other than of course for player development reasons.

I am not going to try "Freak"

Sometimes I get the feeling the FD department lacks the courage to drop him.

There is no other player that would have been in the side this long for such limited return.

I think that Watts may play well on the bigger ground. He likes to get around the ground abit and use his tank to rack up a few numbers. If he can do this, and then drift forward again regularly, he may just be in for a big game.

I will stick my neck out and predict he will kick at least 3 goals and 20 odd touches.

I hope you are right.

Is it out 100 mm or 200mm

Not as good as 1 foot or 2 is it!

I might be slightly high on lots of drugs (of the pain killer variety!), but even in this state I can understand why Petterd and Watts have nothing to do with each others' place in the side. They are not competing for the same position. Petterd is a third tall, he is not a CHF. If anything, Watts' competition is Bate, possibly Newton (yes that made me lol!).

If you want Petterd in the team, you need to drop Dunn. He has been in average form, and only his defensive game is saving him for now. I'd suggest that another ordinary game from him and Petterd will be back in the team.

well put, having said that watts cant rest on the knowledge of who his competition is

he is in the 18.. LeCras that is.

And that means ??

If we lose then the pressure will continue to build on DB (as will happen with every lose we have) and I am sure the MFC board will continue to question the so called "game Style". Interesting times ahead and will be interesting to see what happens either way.

Which team is more likely to be advantaged by a heavy track? Apparently they are having their biggest downpour in months in Perth according to DemonsHQ's tweets.

I live around the corner from Subi, this is the most rain we've had since probably August... And I washed my car yesterday too, but these conditions if they continue should suit us...

If you want to check them out, Jones just tweeted that they're on their way to Subi now for a session.

we need a tall forward, if its watts ,then play him. you dont pick your forwards to your opponents backs, its the other way round.

You missed the point. If a small forward line is the order of the day then you don't have to play a tall forward. Carlton beat the Gold Coast in the Suns' first game using small forwards to create the attacking moves. Good coaching by Dean Bailey IMO.

Lecras - Frawley/bartram

Lynch - Rivers/rivers

Kennedy - Garland/frawley

Darling - Tapscott/garland

is how i think the match ups may go, but darling could give tappy the run around, will be interesting to see, bartram could line up on lecras which could change the line ups, definately have a tall forward line which is suited to our defence i believe.

The combination of Cox and Kerr is great competition for Jamar and Moloney.

Morton should get in our best this week. he looked rusty last week with his skills but was involved. he will take confidence out of that game plus It's a big ground which will suit him.

we need big games out of our runners. Jones, Morton and Trengove.

I think we need Sylvia to spend more time closer to goals for us to kick a winning score tonight. I'd really like to see Watts kick multiple goals too - he almost had a break out game against freo at subi last year, if he had kicked straight he might have won us the game, and gained the confidence to take his game up a notch

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him 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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
