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.

Chook Fowler - time will tell.

Time is up

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?

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
