dee-luded

Recommended Posts


Hmmn, don't overlook the simply obvious, WYL. There's a lot to be hopeful of in this story. Words don't need to describe what you can see.

Settle Down DL you are a little over excited i think.....I like a certain Curve, Jack Watts plays football.

Watts will always be in the spotlight .

Indeed they will.

Watts will be a buzzword in the AFL , even if he has a few shockers .

There is an electricity about him ever since he came on the circuit .

Whether hes on or off , Watts is a power-player.

That's a very good post Biff. I remember last year, especially in the middle part of the year where he was playing some pretty good footy, I would watch the games on TV and as soon as we got it to the wing going forward, I'd just yell "kick it to Watts". Sometimes he wasn't even up forward, and I was disappointed that we didn't kick it to him. He went through a run of about 6-8 games where his presence was electric (in a positive way). He demanded the ball, work his arse off, and was getting rewarded. It hit the fan when he run out of puff toward the end of the season, and our general play was just terrible.

Bambi is actually a 'he' if IRC and at the end of the movie even becomes a father. The image foistered upon us though is the one of the young fawn; the rutting stag image is just not "Bambi".

Honestly I think the talk of Watts needing to "step up" is just a myth now

For a young KPP his output has increased each year:

Year Team Games Kicks Handballs Disposals Marks Goals Behinds Tackles Hitouts Frees For Frees Ag. Brownlow

2011 Melbourne 22 9.0 7.1 16.1 5.6 1.0 0.5 2.4 0.4 0.6 0.8 0.05

2010 Melbourne 15 7.7 4.9 12.6 4.7 0.7 0.3 1.0 0.6 0.9 0.9

2009 Melbourne 3 5.3 3.7 9.0 3.0 0.7 0.7 0.3 0 0.7 2.0

The reality is 2009 he shouldn't have played

2010 was about getting some confidence - 2011 was about him understanding he belongs

Honestly (whilst I think he will be an exceptional player) - anyone expecting him to do any more to date was merely getting in on the perception he was a dud pick up

Wouldnt say step up. But does need to continue development. COULD be anything if the coaches can get his mind to match his skills. Love his speed and flexibility as a big bloke, has an almost languid movement and teammates need to use his position and movement to advantage can feed him and feed off him. I expect Watts to be a positive contributor with others around him benefitting from his presence as well as he will benefit from Clarke and other bigger bodies around him.

    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
