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.

Time is up

No chook is right here.


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.

Biffen - beats dead horse

Wiseblood-cheap,smug,sniper!

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?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
