Think you need to let dust settle a little and re do this a bit more objectively, you have had a shocker here.

Watts = years greatest dissapointment? You have to be kidding, he will probably finish top 10 in the B&F, yes for a #1 draft pick hes no star but hes had a reasonable season, Toumpas has been the biggest dissapointment for me. He couldnt even get a game, at least Watts contributed regularly.

Very hard on Salem too, I think most would agree he showed quite a lot for a teenager in his first year coming off a limited pre season.

Not quite yet

Agree, and in more than 3 words: I like the way he takes the game on, and his capacity for good decision-making and good finishing (not always demonstrated - yet). Also like his apparent competitive instincts, and his willingness for the contest. Upside as a developing cog in a side better than where we are now.

I'm not sure if it was the greatest disappointment but I essentially agree with Joeboy's comment on Watts' season - it was extremely disappointing.

He is into his sixth season and with a fantastic coach behind him. He has all the natural talent in the world. Time to step up and become a player that makes a difference to the side's fortunes.

Other than the third quarter of the Port game (in Adelaide) where he played as a loose man, I can only recall one game where he made a real difference to the result - the win over Richmond.

That is simply not good enough for a player of his talent who has been in the system for 6 years. Other than that game I struggle to recall many games (perhaps the St Kilda game in Round 1) where he was in our best 6 players let alone make a significant impact on the game.

For me it was just a season he meandered his way through - doing just enough to keep his spot in the side.

I agree with Pedersen's improvement but I saw a correlation between the club dropping off and Pedo's form dropping off.

Fair observation - cause or effect?

Actually the fall off coincided with Roo's announcement he was extending the 3rd yr of his contract (made during the second bye break).

You'd have thought the players would be up and about after his announcement....not so.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
