I generally stick up for Jack. but I don't think he was terribly good today. We need more output from him. It's no good being the best kick in the side if you never get the ball. We also saw him repeatedly go in half-assed to contests and not even look like winning the contested ball. I want to see him get a lot more ball and look like he's playing with a little urgency when the opposition have it.

Watts laid 4 effective tackles, surely a record for him, yet the pot shots keep coming...

Thought Watts was much more physical today. Did some good tackles and was his usual skilful self. Wish people would get off Jack's back.

Yes, he did lay some great tackles, a couple of them strong and brutal in the second half. But there were major passages of play where he sauntered around waiting for the play to be made by others when he was the man in position number 1. We are not "on Jack's back": we are making game observations. We want him to succeed like everyone else but his lack of grunt in a contest remains a huge hole in his game.

If you were at the game it would be hard not to be critical of his intensity - something the big screen does not pick up.

The thing with Jack W is he is the closest thing we have to a superstar - he has pace, vision and really clean hands and he's also smart in one-on-one contests.

He can break lines easier than any other player we have - just look at his game against St Kilda.

But until he runs hard at most contests and tackles with meaning, he's just never going to avoid criticism.

He is the closest thing we have to a superstar, but I doubt he will ever get there.

If only he realised how dangerous he is when he has the ball and made every effort to get it.

Watts at times over the past 4 games has ran through congestion, gathered the hard ball then broke away to dispose of it. Why can't this happen more often? Why is he hesitant? I know he's great on the outside but taking the game on with his skills and pace would take his game to a new level.

Took some good marks and kicked a couple of goals also.....bruise free, i dont think so, a solid contibutor is how id rate his game.

Kent - Hit Ellard hard ! Kent's attack on the ball is ferocious and the way he collected Ellard wow I felt it in the members


Roosy - Best ! The dread i felt before half time when carlscum took momentum was swayed . Roosy knows .

Watts laid 4 effective tackles, surely a record for him, yet the pot shots keep coming...

I watched Watts closely the last 3 weeks and he is incredibly soft. It is inarguable.

However his skills are sublime and he creates when he has the ball. He will always be picked for those reasons.

Roos has also smartly created another goal avenue for us. Watts plays as a mid and therefore his opponent is also a mid and usually much smaller. When the forwards lead out, Watts will occasionally drop in the hole and outmark his smaller opponent, as he did twice yesterday. It is working well and hard to stop, as you cant throw a tall defender to a running mid.

Likewise.....but, when he gets the ball, bugger me, it's like he's got half an hour to make a decision.

He'll choose his contests, that's for sure....but his role is not to crunch. We've got Tyson, Viney, Cross and Jordie to do that.

My bloody quote won't work again, but agree with Jumbo R, Roos dropped Trengove and Toumpas to make a statement, Watts is still there, so Roos must like his 'softness'

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
