Could jack watts win our best and fariest

Fair chance. I'd say it says alot about our leaders though.

I think he will definitely finish top 5, may finish top 3 but probably wont win. In saying that though, I would love it if he did win in front of one the older, front running, players like Moloney.

He won't poll in the first four games, which will make it very hard. He may be the highest poller from then on, but i doubt he could actually win it.

Few have been as consistent as him. He should poll well

At last year's B&F I got Jack to sign my ticket for me. I told him I'd bring it back and get him to sign it again when he won the B&F. I hope he wins it this year, the first of many awards he'll win. And he'll be our captain... he's showing all the attributes of a born leader.

From the MFC website... Mark Williams' rundown of our Round 20 players. It reinforces what many are saying on Demonland:

Jack Watts: Jack was probably our best player. He kicked two goals and had 21 possessions. He also took nine marks. When he was in offence, he was lively, and presented really well. And when he was down back, he took some solid intercept marks under immense pressure. He directed play very well by switching play, and with his run and carry. He has had a very consistent season.

Moloney, Jones, Watts, Trengove, Frawley or musical chairs with those 5.

Opposition supporters have certainly calmed down on the Watts bagging this season. I think Jack is starting to scare them a little. Big 2012 for him.

Not sure about the fariest. He's no fairy.

I reckon he'd be a shot at top 3 to 5 in the best and fairest, though. Lot's of good and very good games, but not enough BOG performances (probably only two or three, including last week) to take it out.

Moloney will win it, even though he's had some shockers he had a great first half to the year. Watts will be in top 5 maybe.

Lot's of players who have only had partial 'good years'.

Moloney no doubt thereabouts. Jones for his consistency. Martin for not only really stepping up in simple quality, but also for (IMO) playing quite a hard-woking team game in general. Watts would be up there, so would Trengove who has quietly gone about being solid over and over.

Jordie McKenzie if he'd played a full season, gien the votes are coaches votes.

Damn... the process of thinking this through has really highlighted how many people we've had out with injury for long periods or who have been waaaay down on form.

Will there be any more than one or two carry-overs from last year's B&F to this one?

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
