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.

Watts will probably finish top 5 in B&F. Some of you view our games behind angry glasses.

Can't kick,handball.

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?

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

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.

    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

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.
