According to the AFL Match Centre, the whole team had 11 Goal Assists so ther might be a misunderstanding somewhere along the line.

33 scores and only 11 assists? So the other 22 were players taking it cleanly from the ruck, running to 50 and bombing? What exactly do they count as an assist anyway?

The old comparison of Nats v Watts as #1 pick is gradually being put to bed.

IMO, Watts more versatile, quietly deadly, no low percentage tricky stuff, more long term upside failing injury.

In fact the comparison isn't realy made any more, is it?

I never really jumped off the Watts bandwagon but if you had told me 2 months ago that Jack would be having this kind of impact, I would have scoffed at the thought.

But he is almost literally getting better each week. I shudder to think how good he'll be in 5 years time.

Is there a difference between goal assists and scoring assists? This could explain it.

Great game by Watts today. He rarely gets beaten in marking contests now, which resulted in a number of crumbing goals, e.g. LJ.

A few more kgs next season and he will be ready to go!

The thing that impresses me the most about Watts is not so much how he's playing but it's his attitude. When he started he seemed like he was just cruising - you could watch him and compare him to Scully and Trengove - he had about 10% of their effort - he seemed to be happy to have been drafted at number 1 and that's all he was hoping to achieve - little effort or enthusiasm. All has changed in the past month or so - Take a look at his face here http://www.afl.com.au/video/tabid/76/contentid/366812/brilliant+goal+from+watts/default.aspx - so awesome to see him getting so fired up! I was perplexed when Bailey made him the sub against Gold Coast - I thought what better game to get your confidence up but they left him on the bench - could be the coaching move of the year though - Jack's hit back and since then every game has been the best of his career - I love going to the game and just watching him even when the balls not near him - his effort has increased 1000% - and he's constantly directing traffic telling teammates where to go - and he's only going to get better!

I think he had 11 scoring assists. He got BOG on mmm. JB said to Jack he should go to every person that has bagged him and say stick that up ya. Im glad he is finally showing us his potential.

Im just super impressed with Jack and he is showing us what he is capable of. I loved his contested marks he took and that mark he took in the middle of the pack was superb.

I did get a little annoyed when he gave away that dumb free kick and the tigers scored a goal out of it. He said after the game Dean had words with him. But when he kicked that goal on the 3/4 time siren all was forgiven.

Loved it when he put the the Tiger player down , might have cost us but shows he won't be pushed around any longer

I wish we had of taken Naitanui.

Love him! I actually loved the free. It wasn't his fault it resulted in a goal, our defence did a shizen job against that entry, but it showed he wasn't playing BFF and is really starting to have confidence in his physicality. I hope he doesn't do it every week, but this week I loved it, and I loved him. Well under way to super stardom. In truth, I'd be more upset to lose Jack than Tom. Clearly that's just me, but that's how I feel.

Goals = goal assist and points = score assist? i assume a direct involvement in the score, eg. pass, sheperd

I just need to get it off my chest.....

I'm in love with Jack and have been for a number of weeks now...

He and Trengove are the 2 most important players Melbourne has for the future leadership of this club.

Totally in love with them both...

Bastard cost me $150

Remembering his awesome first goal efforts last week and after 8 beers I was walking past the tab in the members and threw $10 on jack at 3/4 time $15-1

Took that mark and he's usually dead eye .. Shattered! Haha

Who could be angry at the awesomeness?

He and Liam have the same walk in action :)

I don't think many would disagree loosing jack would be equally as devastating as loosing Tom both very important to our future but as much as I respect Tom, jack is commited to the Footy club and although I don't know him or anyone that does he looks committed the the MFC long term plays with passion and looks like a natural leader on the ground maybe part of the leadership group in years to come

Just watched the game again and I had the hairs stand up all over me watching that goal before 3/4 time siren. As someone else here stated the look on his face after kicking the goal looked like he was going to kill someone! LOVE it!!

One of the disappointing aspects of the early season for me was the lack of skills and passion on the team. Things have turned around and Jack has been leading the pack.

Really enjoying his work as an onfield leader in the last month.

Yeah, I got the same feeling when they showed it again on the Sunday Footy Show. Really was an awesome effort, inside 50 defensive effort was brilliant and was rewarded. His emotion after the goal was just awesome to see.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
