Demons' Jack Watts ready to take on the elite

Featured Replies

With Roos on board, Jack can now only blame the guy in the mirror for what happens next...

Fingers crossed.

 

They both played as point guards, you twit.

What are you on about??

I could have done without the 'you twit' bit but I stand corrected.

 

Romey is clearly a signwriter.

Jack Watts a midfielder? That's funny.

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

move it might be more appropriate


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.

would have thought the apostrophe as in Demons' is correct

 

Yep, it got shifted - stage left.

aaahhh ^_^


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.

Jabberwocky is on the money, Watts should not do any media and let the footy do the talking

Traded him for pick 14, which we used on Jack Grimes.

Probably the only trade we've nailed in the last 50 years.

There aren't too many are there.

Jeff White was a win, Peter Moore won a brownlow with us, Darren Bennett


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.

Jack Watt's

Biffen is right.

yes he is, he must have a knowledgeable friend

yes he is, he must have a knowledgeable friend

Ye of little faith.


How do you not get that he doesn't have a choice about publicity. He gets paid a certain amount in ASA and he has to do what the club asks him to. I doubt very much that likes seeing his head everywhere.

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

we already know most posters are silly (except a few of us)

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)

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
