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.

 

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

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.


Back on topic -

I am interested to know how many goals Watts could kick in one game this season with Clark as the new focal point?

I'm hoping he can bag five in a game or two this year. Would be great if he could.

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.

Will never have 'that' presence.....not a Carey or a Voss or a Neitz. I just really, really want him to crash a pack or lay a big tackle.

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

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........

 

yet some people here wanted him to be a captain candidate. absolute joke

Not really , One lousy NAB game does not mean he is crap . He will win us a few games .

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
