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.

Does he have current form or are we looking for a spark from him?

As long as his form isn't just static

I think he could provide an alternate current to goal unless he plays deep in which case he could be a direct current .

Agree he needs to switch on .

Could be a lamp lighter for us .

Just needs proper supply .

Ohm my god! Usually I will just switch off, but I must say it's good to see a thread that is generating positive energy as opposed to all of the negatives we usually see on here.

HaHaHa, careful of your Car, he's gettin' bigger...

# PS: Top picture, a characature of Watts, Trenners & the Skunk after the 2008 draft.

Howe times move on.

OK, so the deer is Watts, the rabbit is Trengove and the skunk is, er, gone. So who's the butterfly? I'll say it's Jaded.

well if you have the capacity why not?

Maybe he needs to transform the way he conducts himself .

I seriously question what you node and what you think you node.

Away from the puns - did anyone watch AFL 360 last night with Hall and Mooney ? They talked about KPP's and especially as forwards and how it took it both of them until 23 until they really could see what was coming at them from down the field and how it took that long until they felt comfortable in the position. They also mentioned that players like Franklin and Carey who matured very early were not the norm.

I understand that and my expectation is that the improvement that Jack made in the middle part of season becomes the norm and his better games improves further than that.

My criticism of our players is that they may show us something quite early on what they could be but dont continue to improve and take that next step. At various stages Sylvia, Bad-mo-boy and Bate to name but three have shown plenty and then stagnated or gone backwards.

I'm putting it out there - I am not convinced we draft poorly - I think we have failed to develop players.

What's with the surge in negativity?

No idea. I believe he will be one of our most postive charges on the circuit this year.

i think there is some truth in that. Why though, is not so easy to explain

must be a short circuit somewhere?

Edit: to add compulsory pun

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
