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.

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.

Jack Viney coming 5th despite missing 8 games.

I wonder if he will finish top 5 in the Bluey, would be awesome if he did

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
