He cant/wont even be prepared to do the basics; block, run and carry, defend, mark. It's basics you cant teach a player. They either have the hunger or they dont.

Exactly right and anyone who defneds this by saying "that's not his job" or "he's an outside player" doesn't know footy.

I rate Watts. He has class. What I don't rate is some of the relentless and inane criticism of him from certain of the keyboard warriors here.

Where did the "class" discussion come from? I've got "class" but I don't have to brag about it - it's apparent.

Before I start I gotta say I have been a long time supporter of Jack Watts since he came to our club as No 1 Draft pick. I have met Jack and he is an extremely well mannered and very affable young per

Salam has shown more in 10 minutes than 80 minutes from Howe and Watts. Can we just copy watts and howe and go ctrl x but never paste them again? They dont deserve to be in this team

I want Howe back in the forward line.

How quickly people forget Watts hasn't gotten over his debut game.

Need I remind you that this is ANZAC round. I think if our fathers and grandfathers can serve in battle and come back to tell the tale, Jack Watts can get over the "indignancy" of being given the opportunity to participate in the Queens Birthday game at the age of 18.

He needs to get over it. He has a choice, start fresh now with a new mindset, or sit back in his chair at 40 knowing he wasted a ton of potentual but will forever be a forgotten AFL player, and a disgrace at that! Perceive this as unfair, then start watching him when one on one.

Watts and Howe's lake of defensive pressure probably cost us 3 goals. Evans and Nicholson would have resulted in a closer result. This said I thinm Roos will be able to get Watts and Howe performing.

This crap about Watts being mistreated needs to end. If that's the biggest concern is his life he's doing alright, it was nearly five years ago.

Need I remind you I posted this amongst others earlier in the week. It was having a go at those that still defend him. If you can be bothered read pages 3&4 of this thread.

If Roos does not send a Watts back to Casey, then I will seriously consider not bothering to front up in front of the tele next weekend.

we must get ANY who will not work for the team, OUT of this side; or our good kids like JK-H & Salem will learn their lazy habits. this is how hard workers give up. when more senior players just sandbag & bludge.

Watts2Casey.

"A good Brighton Grammar Footballer" on his epitaph. I rated him for so long; but when intensity and workrate is VAFA level, Roos has no choice. He doesn't even take them on, with the predictable get ball, stop and check to give off at the back. Guess what, not even a shepherd after the handball.

Casey shouldn't even be a week either.

Picked up the ball beautifully one handed in the last Q and then stopped pannicked and gave a dodgy handball to a team mate under pressure.

Why did he just not keep running???

Watts and I think it was Howe coped a spray from Roos and what ever he was saying to them when he finished he wasn't impressed.

Will be interesting to c if he is in the team next week against the cows.

VAFA, I've seen more efforts from under 14's.

I cannot believe how Watts manages to convince himself he doesn't need to chase or to tackle with any ferocity? theres nowhere to hide, so how does he tell himself he OK as is.

Jack the easiest thing in footy is to bust a gut chasing with full throttle. running down your opponent. even greyhounds are smart enough to workout its the thing to do.

Watts must go back to Casey. No intensity. No will to contest.

Again he is a basketballer.

Don't start hanging it on basketballers sons.

There is plenty of intensity in basketball.

I watched Jack amble around the ground tonight with no intent or desire to enter the contest.

I've come to the conclusion he is incapable of changing and no matter how many weeks he spends at Casey it won't be enough, he is simply not up to the task.

I doubt any other club would want him so we won't even get a trade for him and he will probably have to serve his time out at Casey. He is as soft as any footballer I've ever seen, if he watches the replay of tonight's game, he will be embarrassed by his lack of effort.

Lazy footballer.

All I have herd about is his record breaking sprint at the draft combined but we never see him use it.

He has the skills to be a player like Travis Johnston if he actually tried.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
