Have a watch and get back to me.

If you still think he's a dud and is a contributing factor to why 'Carlton won't win a flag' then

we can end this debate. It will confirm that you know have a shallow understanding of the game AFL.

Oh, and please stop using those corny comebacks. Time to reload cowboy? Seriously?

How to convince someone a player isn't a dud?

Show them in games against 2 of the competitions battlers.

Can you tell me what he does against Brisbane worthy of a highlights reel. All I saw was several head high cheap shots resulting in Brisbane free kicks, some poor play by Brisbane coughing it up to him, 3 poor kicks forward resulting in turnovers. I couldn't be bothered watching the port lowlights.

Really chief is that your best shot?

Roost It your opion is 12 months old. Robinson was very good last season. He is a dirty player who I have no respect for, butthe fact is he would walk into the Melbourne side, and provide the hardness we lack.

Back on topic - Watts will be a gun.

Debate over. My first impression has been confirmed.

All the best on your quest to understand football Roost It.

Hopefully the four other poster's opinions on Robinson will make you think twice/thrice....(however many times you need to think it over)

Over and out.

Mitch is a very good player around the ball and i would take him. We now have magner who can be our mitch i hope

We will get a look at Magner on Saturday. He has been named in the NAB squad.

Jack Watts has it all, and in spades. He will be a champion of the club and a star of the competition.

People have to remember he's only 6 months older than Trengove and has played 40 games.

Yeh right - important players should always go all-out in intraclub practice matches, especially if it means risking injury to themselves or one of their colleagues. You may or may not be right about Jack, but it's a terrible example.

It's the same trait he's shown at VFL level and AFL level, yet you somehow think he's just being intelligently cautious because it's an intraclub practice match ?

Yeah, right. Maybe he should have taken Mitch Clark aside and whispered in his ear that he was throwing caution to the wind ?

I want Watts to succeed more than you. But I don't make excuses for players just because they wear red and blue. Naturally, you can please yourself.

Agree with all of this.

Can't wait to see Watts this year!

Watch the youtube clip again and let me know whats so special about a guy giving away head high frees and polaxing himself. i found it amusing and it reaffirmed my correct beliefs in Robinson.

he's a bafoon and nothing more

He has so much talent, but no physicality. Granted the conditions didn't suit. But really. At least have a presence.

You don't want to give him another couple of games before judging?

Agree to an extent, but I'm prepared to give him a decent opportunity in the standard format.

I'll give him another 50 games, let alone a couple, but I'll also have an opinion on what I see.

Nail on head.

Even though he is still developing his frame, he needs to learn how to attack the ball as if his life depends on it.

I sure hope it comes soon.

And is that physicality going to happen ? What if it doesn't ?

We all want it to happen but maybe we have to start accepting Jack for who he is - A highly skilled athlete who is best suited as a Utilty / Rebounding backman / Pinch hitting forward . Not a CHF , not yet anyway .

Sellar or Martin could be our best bets at CHF . Rotating these 2 with Watts in a pinch hitting role at CHF may be the best case scenario .

My opinion on Jack is not based on last nights game , though I didn't see anything different from the last 3 years .

Cheers ®

Conditions didn't suit him... Please

He's playing a winter sport FFS. So if conditions are slippery and wet during the year we shouldn't play him?

Hopefully he gets a rocket after last night because that performance was the very definition of bruise free footy.

I don't think conditions suited any footballer last night, but others asserted themselves more than others.

Supporters are still waiting for #1 to perform as this is his 4th or 5th year in the system? Don't make me address the elephant in the room by mentioning some huge ruckman that plays out west.....that's right........

You mean the elephant in the room when NicNat had a great start to last season and Watts didn't or the elephant in the room that disappeared when Watts started putting good games together in middle part of the season and NicNat went quiet or the elephant that returned when Watts season tapered off and NicNat had a few good games at the end.

Hmmm...better not mention elephants - they can be fickle

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
