Demonland Player of the Year

Hahahahahahahaha Watts! So he deserves votes for not chasing, not putting his head over the ball, and genuinely looking like he doesn't want to be part of the team? Give me a break, he was woeful.

Not trying to launch a personal attack on you or anything, but he was shocking.

Yeah, he was "shocking". 24 disposals @79%.( team average 69%). I guess that % is a bit lower than Jack's normal tally. Not having a go at Sylvia who worked hard but achieved 26 possessions @just 46%.

I wonder how many critics of Watts have actually played footy or maybe I have been looking at another game.

it's obvious that there are many on this site who are in the same boat that I am in - I have defended him and been hopeful he would come on but time and time again we have seen his utter refusal to have a proper crack. Putting his terrible attitude on display during the week, backed up with another gutless performance has put me over the edge. I am sick to death of waiting year after year for supposedly talented kids to 'breakout' and it never happens.. now we have one who is enough of a tossbag to show publicly that he doesn't give a rats about the jumper or any of us, I'm at my limit.

Have a nice stiff whisky and go to bed mate. It will all seem better in the morning!

The difference is that Watts was playing at the end of the ground with 17 teammates ahead of the ball while Silvia was often kicking into our forward half/50 to a 2 on 4 contest against a well drilled defence who consistently out positioned our inexperienced forward line.

Silvia was easily our best contested ball winner. Watts did a good job generating offensive ball movement from our defence but failed to apply pressure and win the ball.

Bobby, I take it you watched the game from the comforts of your lounge room, Jack Watts was a huge dissappointment. We stood behind every player on the ground 25m out from the Fremantle goal, to call him a loose man in defense is totally incorrect, he was a seagull at the back of the pack waitng for easy kicks. Ihave never seen a player avoid body contact as much as Jack Watts did yesterday, I was a defender of this bloke but the wall he played yesterday was a joke. I have also posted they way Craig allowed him to play yesterday was a joke

So, how do we know whether Watts was playing as he did because of or in spite of instructions? If he was playing to instructions then he was probably in our top 10 players. This has been a voter's dilemma all year...how can you pick the best players when it's sometimes impossible to work out exactly what the players had been instructed to do.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
