GAMEDAY - ROUND 5

Featured Replies

John Brown only has to fall over up there to get a free.

The umpire paid that as a mark

 

Zone defence will cost Neeld his job.

Geez we're lucky they can't kick for goal.

Agree Stuie - dosen't look like it is working at all - need to be more accountable

Poor turnovers don't help though - need to be smart with the ball not just bomb long all the time - use the runners if available

Get a clue mate. Watch how much ground he's covering and how many times he's left the lone chaser, that's why you notice him.

Mate - it's easy to run around - it's hard to play footy - mate.

I ain't having a go at his effort, just his positioning and the fact he isn't a defender and can't read his opponent and stay with him to he ball. He always ends up a few feet behind.

Not. A. Defender!


love the way max competes at ground level and around the ground as well as in the ruck

Maxy is someone who inspires ... one of my new favourites

Why do we keep playing watts?

??????????

I just can't defend Watts anymore, just no effort at all.

^_^

Mckenzie just falls over every contest

Some people say that's just because he's desperate for the ball.

But you never see Gary Ablett diving full length... always keeps his feet. (I realise this is a ridiculous comparison.)

More often than not once Jordie gets it down there, his disposal is ineffective.

Stuie - really...

Watch the game properly mate. How many times have you seen Watts chasing compared to others? Now think about all the different parts of the ground he's been doing it. He's trying, and looks slow because he's knackered from all the chasing he's doing.

He was a number one draft pick.

That is rubbish. Laziest footballer next to Sylvia. Refuses to run hard.


Wish they would put someone on Moloney, over 20 possessions in a half already.

Lets hope we make the Lions pay now, they don't look great, we need to make some better decisions going forward

Hold it up if you have to ffs - use sensible options, our boys seem to try create miricales sometimes

Watts is runnin like he's injured... Either that or is slow, we've all seen him run, he is faster than he showing

I thought exactly the same thing, he looked to be struggling

Agree he's not a defender.

He's being crucified by the zone though. I feel for the bloke, he's trying to chase hard but so many times it's being left up to him while no one else is even in camera shot.


Side note: while Watts has been woeful and nowhere near enough physical presence, seems to be a bit restricted in his running. Anyone aware of any injury concerns?

I certainly hope so, because if that is his best running ................... FFFFFAAAAARRRRRKKKKK

And, IF he is injured, treat it and don't play him until he has recovered.

We refuse to run.

We refuse to pick up our opponent.

WTF are they doing??

Its pathetic.

The Loins are pretty bad but we are worse. A good team would thrash them both by 20 goals.

That is rubbish. Laziest footballer next to Sylvia. Refuses to run hard.

How many times have you seen Watts chasing while there's NO OTHER MFC player in the camera shot? What does that tell you?!

Stuie - you're just wrong. It will be hard for you accept that - but it's a fact. You've got rose coloured glasses that are restricting your vision - all the people without those glasses are the one's watching the game "properly".

If he's injured, that might be why he's NOT chasing HARD

Hi Jack Watts - just saw you come into view - nice jogging action

he's a pain, it hurts to try hard & it hurts to run hard.

Deesperation Jack Watts, where is It?


Wattsy has got to go at year end. Nice bloke but as a business he's not got enough value for us and if we hold on any longer he'll lose his value to others. He's trade bait for a mid.

Biggest worry is that we have been running after them all day.

Brisbane have more than doubled our handballs and we are going to run ourselves dead by the end of the third.

Watch the game properly mate. How many times have you seen Watts chasing compared to others? Now think about all the different parts of the ground he's been doing it. He's trying, and looks slow because he's knackered from all the chasing he's doing.

I see him 'chasing' 5 metres behind his man every time

 

Mate - it's easy to run around - it's hard to play footy - mate.

Not easy to run when you're buggered from being the only one chasing.

This is not Watts fault. It's the non-existent midfield pressure.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
