GAMEDAY - ROUND 5

[PJ_12345 1,098]

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

The umpire paid that as a mark

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

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

[frankie_d 1,471]

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.

[Brayshaws' Helmet 143]

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

[Gorgoroth 12,955]

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.

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!

[monoccular 17,431]

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.

[Buzzy 992]

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 7,374]

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.

[Toorak 108]

Why do we keep playing watts?

He was a number one draft pick.

[jnrmac 20,086]

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.

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

[DeeZee 7,397]

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

[Cheap Seats 3,310]

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

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

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

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Rodan has been handy in congestion.

[stuie 7,374]

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.

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.

[monoccular 17,431]

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.

[jnrmac 20,086]

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.

[stuie 7,374]

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?!

[frankie_d 1,471]

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

[dee-luded 2,959]

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?

[The heart beats true 18,125]

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.

[PJ_12345 1,098]

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.

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

[stuie 7,374]

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.

[Buzzy 992]

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