Clearly you didn't see it properly. That was a definite squib.

Yeah, yeah. No worries.

I won't comment any further as I don't want the thread derailed by the usual slop.

Have a listen to you blokes. Watts can't win. Puts his head over the ball, rather than squibbing the contest, and he still cops crap. Stay classy guys.

Not true - never put his head over it - just pirouetted into the pack with one hand up (as usual).

Look, I think this guy has great skills, and was stiff to be brought to a hopeless football department and made a sacrificial lamb on Queen's Birthday.

But - I would rather have two terlichs, or two mckenzie than one Watts. Plays nothing like 6'5" - so don't worry about the aerial stuff - has more skills than 10 of those, but will <never> give a contest like those two - and that's what we are all about the moment - tough footy - and Watts is just not tough enough (even for a flanker / outside mid)

No it wasn't, it was an effort from a player who has no idea in a contested situation. He needed to clean Grey up, not the other way around.

Nail head.no experience in putting body into contest and bracing feet.{should take up rooting and might learn to brace}

Jack Watts

0 possessions

0 care for the jumper

0 pride

Must be traded at seasons end. I cant believe people defend this joke of a player

Give him a break he stayed loyal last year, he'll come good.

Umpires giving us an absolute bath, it's like we're playing a team of 22 joel selwoods at the minute.

Turning off now. Port won't beat us but the [censored] umpires will.

Would you say he had enough time to get in the right position?

Because if he did, which it looked like, then he didn't attack the contest 100%... that regardless of the fact he twisted out

You'd rather 2 Mckenzies who don't get their own ball and even if he does he can"t kick.

Geez Riley looks good, but my god the team is making some stupid decisions

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
