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

    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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
