wb range rover!!

Cheers TPM. For that I'm turning over a new leaf. You're off my ignore list ... until round 1 and then we'll see what happens!

Not finishing in the Eagles B&F top 10 sets off the alarm and wakes it right up again - but then you probably reckon Gerard knows more than the Eagles FD.

NicNat was inconsistent no doubt, but there were games where he absolutely monstered the opposition. His best was better Jacobs and Maric, who were good but are not AA quality footballers.

Four seasons in to his career, we are yet to see our no.1 draft pick really take a game by the scruff of the neck.

Why can't he? He's got all the physical tools.

Nic's the Brynne Edelsten of footy - it doesn't surprise me that you're impressed

Well just for the record it's guys like you that put me right on our Coach and good on you for supporting him. Like I say to many Demonlanders. We often disagree in a very heated manner at times but I compare it to two dogs on each side of a gate getting somewhat territorial. We all love Melbourne! For most of us and definitely for me consider Melbourne football club "to be my baby". Take the gate away and the barking stops and dogs start playing.

The "baby" analogy comes from being a common sunbather on Seminyak beach. Pay the Vendor for the sun bed and umbrella and you become his baby for the day. No ones going to touch or annoy you.

Once again WB and I was a little out of line with some of the exchanges. Go Dees...

Watts has done a couple of times but agreed still gets pushed aside a little too easily. I think he has the skills and "smartness" to become a star. As I said in an earlier post there is still a reasonable amount of self preservation about the way he plays. IMO persistence is the key. Neeld certainly sees something in him and is aware of the "deficiency". Once move in particular was moving him to Jonathon Brown in the most recent Lions match. Watts will learn from this.

Here's one for you. Not sure how far you go back. You would recall our R. Flower playing multiple positions and indeed flourishing in all except one. First Q FULL BACK playing on Malcom Blight. Reminded me of the Watts/Brown match up.

I shudder to think what that makes Jack Watts then ...
