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?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
