Hoping this conversation is going down right now.. Roos to Watts. Wattsy put the red vest on... I'll back Salem to have more composure and impact in his first game than you've had in two weeks.

maybe Jack Watts' nickname should be Teddy. or TB

When did we last keep a team goaless?

AFL website says not since late 2012

Good that we kept them goalless but one goal four between both teams in a quarter is why people are turning off footy. So ugly to watch

There will be a massive Bronx cheers if Watts is subbed, didn't he get upset last time that happened?

What a bloody disgrace.

Any just now....bloody pi55weak umpires not prepared to make a goal touched decision ..... this was bleeding obvious.

Can they review the hand on Jamar's shoulder while they're reviewing the goal?

Have a feeling Watts will be off for Salem. Just the statement Roos needs to make.

Roos doesn't need to make a statement, that's why we've got him. His record speaks for itself.

See Watts sh!t himself when Franklin came at him? Ghastly to watch.

why does watts always look to handball first?

we want him to kick - he's supposedly one of the best kicks in the league.

I just might handball that question sideways, to the next mug. let them take your heat on the question of Wattage.

Have tried to keep an open mind on watts but lack of effort and desire is pathetic - needs to go to reserves and show some intensity over 5-6 weeks before playing again - if unsuccessful trade at EOY before he loses all value at trade table

To be fair it was mostly Essendon supporters, most Melbourne supporters had left and those that remained were in total shocked silence.

Dunn is having a great season and Jamar has made a difference

OK. Half Time.

Thing's I've loved:

Viney took a mark in front of the leading Franklin. Stretched right up and left himself wide open with no idea how close Franklin was. THe kid has no sense of self-preservation.

Nev hurling himself into the air to spoil a certain mark, winning the ground ball and getting hit high for what would have been a free kick had he been wearing just about any other jumper.

Jamar's effort around the ground. He's not getting many disposals, but he's providing a physical presence more than he has for the last few years.

The overall physical effort from the team.

Things i've hated:

The [censored]-poor one-eyed umpiring.

Watts' inability to chase, compete for a contested ball, jump for a mark with both hands...

Concerns:

Pretty sure we'll see at least one of our players suspended out of this.

I'd love to see us make the most of our inside 50s in the second half to put on some scoreboard pressure.

People in the crowd are actually laughing at Watts for how he just floats around doing nothing.

the commentators are right.

He needs to run with the ball.

The boys just lack the composure when its a hot footy. Quite a few times they've been off and a fumble at a critical time has killed our surge forward.

The umpiring has killed this great game we love... Thanks Wayne Campbell.

On ANZAC weekend, I'm going to go ahead and say that Jack Watts would be a monty to survive several major wars completely unininjured.

Dunn been great playing as a loose back. 15 touches.

funny, Dunn starts coming good, under Neeld, & watts still just sheepish, or lamb-ish. turn into a Ram for goodness sakes watts.

Watts is done. Just give him 5 minutes then sub him off for Salem if there's no upswing.

How many times does the guy need to be told?

players need to move the ball on quicker, just too slow in picking the next option. Jack Watts needs to lift as does Howe who should not have missed that first goal. We maybe able to keep up with the swans if those players who have been missing in the first half can put in like their team mates have been. oh and the umpires being consistent and fair with the decisions would also help.

Call of the week!

the commentators are right.

He needs to run with the ball.

He needs to wake up, harden up and care.

The players know they are close enough to win this, if they keep the pressure on the swans.

The poor tackles and lackadaisical approach by Watts is one thing, but the fact he handballs off in the back line and instead of shepherding for his teammate, waltzes off to try and get an easy handball back makes it the worst.

It makes me sad to say it, but he's just not a footballer. I'm sick of telling friends he'll be something and he repaying us by offering this crap.

Pedersen has been excellent. Roos fingerprints all over the Dees now.

Well, we kept them goalless for that quarter. That's something. Sub Watts off for Salem at halftime and we might see a quick skillful player running on to the loose ball and pinpointing some passes.

Wouldn't it be ironic, IF, watts was subbed for Salem, & Salem sets the House on Fire.

watts for Casey for mine for the Next 6 weeks mini mum... learn to play with Vigour Jack.
