Demons' Jack Watts ready to take on the elite

Romey
in Melbourne Demons

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

    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.

    Biffen is right.

    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)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
