Chook Fowler - time will tell.

not much time hopefully KDA, my egg-timer is wearing thru, waiting for him to grow a pair & do something footy like.

old-man time will only reduce jacks time left, & worth in the market.

I was at the game today Watts was pathetic, he is useless has no heart for the contest, he is a total liability, even the crow supporters and players we're giving it to him. It is so frustrating watching him compete with one arm, losing his feet, turning away from the ball or player, or jogging at half pace. He has had enough time, chances and opportunities he is never going to make it

send him to Royal Parade in return for Levi Cassboult

Amazed nobody has already mentioned the incident where Watts was in perfect position to run in from behind to mark (or at least spoil) and instead , in mid-air , he turns his back and drops his head . Embarrassing .

Oh but his GPS are great!

I have to say, Watts is becoming more consistent these last couple of years. Plays a couple of good games at the start of the season then drops the ball and returns to his usual self.

Did not go when it was his turn, multiple times.

We have replacements now, let's see if Roos shares the same opinion on Watts game, my take some good stuff and some rubbish

Unfortunately we don't have replacements. Apart from a couple of untried kids, today's Casey team is made of players who have been tried and failed over recent years. Our depth is non existent.

Watts, Watts, Watts.

He had a bad game.

Conditions didn't suit.

[censored], he was virtually BOG against GCS, but now he's been bagged out.

He's NOT a crash and bash player - fin.

I'd like to know at what instance he was supposed to 'go' and didn't?

'teaser', he seem to have a mums mindset, when it comes to playing AFL footy... take the contract money, then don't do anything that'll get you hurt. take the money & run to the bank.

...... wish we would play on Anzac Day, to make the comparisons of this.

how can he be expected to be in the right mindset & play proper footy, when he's told at home to not get hurt under any circumstances.

Really?

Care to identify the 'multiple' times?

Was that the one in the second quarter where the kick went behind him to two opponents and he brought it to ground on his side and dished to Hogan for a goal?

Roos seems to have a lot of faith in Watts, and thats good enough for me at the moment.

what choice does he have, he's the coach. the only tool in his repertoire is firstly to have the player feel secure & be able to listen to his ideas. but its up to the player to decide whether to become more physical or not.

we as a crowd of Mfc supporters have the power to applaud soft efforts; or to not lavish praise on inept.

Watts doesn't sacrifice his body for his teammates. He makes token efforts. He picks and chooses his contests and the intent he'll give them. This has nothing to do with "crash and bash", but everything to do with competing.

Put simply, he plays on his own terms.

And if you can't see what he does, or doesn't do, I suspect you've never played footy at any level.

If Grimes can be dropped and told to fight his way back in then Watts has a week to make up. If it's more of the same then he simply has to go. He was a total liability out there yesterday.

The thing is he'll probably kick a couple of goals next week and do enough to hold his spot. Then the following week it will be the same timidness and zero impact. And around and around we go.

There will never be a more frustrating player.

Watts is an important player and I'm not debating this with you any more.

Many, many players have played footy in the AFL on their terms and been successful.

If you don't know who they are, I suspect you've never played footy at any level.

Bryce Gibbs?

Marc Murphy?

Daniel Wells?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
