I have a feeling that he's going to be playing basically the role Hird played. He'll sit off the packs and be the designated outlet man for guys like Viney and Cross. If they go in and get the ball

Talk's cheap Jack. Action in 2014 please.

And to completely shut them up it would be nice if Jack could take mark of the year over Natanui.

There seems to be a lot of comparisons and analogies being made in this thread and here's another one for you. It seems to me now that we're hoping Watts will develop into the player Cale Morton never did. If Watts can develop his engine, more frequently use his burst speed and showcase his much discussed disposal skills he might become a very difficult match-up on the wing floating forward. It pains me to say it, but that's about as much hope as I now have.

Bulldust, if you're still in the camp that our player development has been good enough to allow our players to become their best then you seriously have NFI.

Everyone knows that player development at Collingwood has been much better compared to ours

I've never made reference to a basketball analogy, thank you.

My comparison centres on their physique and their ability to use the ball so exquisitely well. As I pointed out, if Watts was drafted by the Pies in '08, I'd half expect him to be as good as Pendles right now.

So, if Collingwood had of drafted Watts you think he would be up there with Pendlebury and the best mids right now, What exactly do you base this comment on? Actually, don't bore me with your coulda shoulda woulda been dribble.

Get it, Collingwood wouldn't of drafted him, they wouldn't have chosen him...he's not their type.

Well FMD. Maybe we should have kept Neeld if it was that simple.

It is that simple, he's had opportunity and been injury free, stop making excuses for him. Edited by J VINEY FAN

That's correct! Move it off the title.

It's a possessive apostrophe is it not?

Ladies'Night?

Perhaps not needed but not incorrect if a little old fashioned.

Or I might just be a pedantic tosspot.

Tinker's cuss!

Edit: apostrophe.

I'm an unashamed Jack Watts fan. I really believe that he will make it and make a lot of posters look silly. Lets back of our loyal players who had the opportunity to jump ship and decided to stay.

My 2 up has the number 4 on the back of his jumper

Jack Watts a midfielder? That's funny.

Btw, can we get rid of that apostrophe in the title?

It is the possessive plural (Jack Watts of the Demons), so surely it is quite appropriate.

(Self confessed pedant, especially when it comes to apostrophes)

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
