MegaWatts - Season 5

Haha. He got towelled up by Stiffy Johncock. He gets to stand on players like Sunny Walters. It's embarrassing.

He has enormous talent, but I have no respect for what he's got out of his first 4 years, or how he goes about his footy.

Forgetting about Jacks" football ability for a moment, it is a fair test of his character having to endure years of unfavourable media scrutiny, derision from opposition supporters, satirical websites being made about him and even his own supporters regularly having a go.

He has carried himself well in public and has improved steadily on the field. He needed to improve his tank and has done so, his marking has improved and there is no better field kick at Melbourne

He will continue to improve and build. The game is favouring taller, faster and fitter players and as players like Goodes and O'keefe have revolutionised their positions I believe Jack will do so as well.

    Patton has played all of 7 games. There's his "excuse" right there.

    Watts is at 55 and counting .... we continue to wait .... and wait.

    Comparing Watts to Patton is ridiculous because untill he plays 50 games you cant compare.

    Look more at Hawkins,or a Goddard, who also were not that great in their frst 50 games.

    I think he will be better than both of those by the way.

    Hodge and Ball were always compared to Judd, but its all relative, and you cant really judge untill theyve played 100 games or so, again look at Jones who gets better every year.

    It is amazing what being pick no.1 does to expectations.

    If Watts had been pick 12 would he get this much angst?

    I doubt it.

    Cook has had a 100th of the comment and he never looked like playing a game.

    I have and it is about time that a lot of Dees fans got used to the idea that Watts will not be the gaming breaking CHF we all hope

    when he was drafted.

    I now believe we have potentially a good player who could be the best backman we have on the list.

    He has the potential to play another 150 games for the MFC

    Not a bad result IMO

    Cook is not as talented and it wouldn't matter what pick Watts was. He is a football talent that needs to keep his eye on the footy at crunch times, simple as that.

    "about time that a lot of Dees fans got used to the idea that Watts will not be the gaming breaking CHF we all hope"

    I think most supporters realised that a couple of years ago. Where are you reading that anyone that still harbours that ambition ?

    You're right about the scrutiny being far different if he was pick 12. He wasn't. He was a wasted pick 1. If he was pick 12 he'd just be a disappointing pick 12.

    I agree re the pressures of being a #1 draft pick. But I cant help but feel that Watts hasnt had the best start, changing coaches, original position on the wing but now in the back, and body building issues like all new drafts.

    I dont think we have seen the best of him and I hope this season we will be pleasantly surprised by his improvement and leadership.... I really hope

    Right now it's a wasted pick. But investments are not judged a third of the way through their lifespan.

    We will see if he is worth his mass when we are decent - then we will know whether he is a waste or not.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
