Watts - in the spotlight

Featured Replies

This was a joke btw. Dont get too amped!!!

Still think hes a gun .

Sorry Biff, didn't get your sense of humor until then. But I still stand by my reply.

 

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 .


You could be on to something there.

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.

Bright spark. :)

 

empty your glasses gentlemen, time to go ohm

You just couldn't resist could you?


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.

STOPPPP !!!!

(sorry to amplify)

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.


Whoever it is, it's paying a little too much attention to Bambi's butt for my liking.

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.

this thread has really struck a (extension) chord with me

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

must be a short circuit somewhere?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
