Watts not playing will have zero effect on the result.

Last time we tried something like that, they fined us $500,000.

That's the spirit. Way to support a player of ours who just turned 22. Don't any of you DARE ever talk about "culture". Weak.

Just as he starts to look good, maybe a couple of weeks off will do his mind some good, see if he is desperate to get back or not

Everyone is expecting us to get belted, i wouldn't be happy but i'd accept 40 points and a good effort from the boys, a win would be fantastic but it would take our best game for the year by some way and carlton off their game abit

Big thrashing coming up for Neeld....

Seriously WYL, you're the fourth post in to a thread about Jack Watts...

Getting boring. There are whole threads about this coming round where you can post your predictions and opinions.

Starts to look good??? What? A couple of goals in a half of footy from chest marks, one was out of bounds when he marked it.

Got dropped after getting subbed the other week. I'd hate to see bad if Watts was looking good

I don't understand why you constantly refer to the MFC as "your" club. Are we not all supporters here of our club. Maybe why there is constant sniping from you because it isn't "your" club.

I wouldn't get so excited about whether I am using a possessive adjective or a pronoun - I am just stipulating that the glee with which wyl talks about Neeld's Thrashings are occuring at wyl's club, and my club, and your club, and our club.

Understand?

And don't call me a sniper.

Amen, could almost have a positive result if he was planning on playing backline

Rubbish, our losing margin just went down.

This is crunch time for Neeld. We lose by 100 again and then next week comes Gold Coast....

If Neeld consider CWS & Melbourne to be at the same stage of development, then GC should start favourites.

GC have a better midfield than Melbourne.

Comparing the two teams, GC are slightly on top.

Fair question. In my opinion (which I know differs to some), Jack has potential and Neeld does not.

What are you on about. Get off your high horse. If we can't talk about players who are underperforming and call it how we see it then what's the point.

And I've got no idea what age has to do with laying a tackle or putting your head over the ball you can figure that one out for me.

And what about culture. The culture of the MFC and the culture of this board are completely different things. I go to games and cheer the guys on to give all they have. I pay my membership and vote if i feel the need to vote on the board.

I know you were impressed with Watts when he went forward and think the rest of his game was good. I disagree but you can't argue his game against GWS was poor or any of his other games this year have been outstanding.

Watts has every tool required to start the year just like a Dean Terlich has. Instead he's floated around and genuinely not played at all well.

I never said I was happy he was injured. I wanted him to have yet another chance this week to impress me and failing that go back to the VFL. But I don't want him injured.

I suspect he'll be eternally grateful for you pointing out the bleeding obvious.

It's funny that we all have our favourites....I too think Watts will become a very good player but I think that what Neeld has started will also come to be good for the footy club.......

Yeah you're right, you pay your membership, so that gives you a right to constantly put down one of our young players trying to find form in a very poorly performing team.

No one is celebrating. Other like myself just don't think Watts is best 22. I bet everyone would rather him playing either in the VFL or AFL than injured.

FFS the quicker everyone sees Watts as just another player rather than a special case the better.

He's actually not one of my favourites at all, I just feel for the bloke and how much he has copped, a lot of which has come from so called "supporters".

No signing up this forum does unless I break the rules. And maybe we won't be a poorly performing team when we stop handing out special treatment letting a number 1 draft pick bounce around positions and never establish himself as a player.

We "LET HIM bounce around positions" do we?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
