Hahahaha this has instantly become my favourite post on Demonland from the guy who has followed me post by post for years. Here's a special dedication just for you my number 1 fan...

    Jeez, every time. Is it really that hard to stick to the topic?

    Looking forward to seeing Jack bounce back today after an underwhelming match last week.

    Was struck down by the flu kicking around the club as were a few others including our captain (who apparently is allowed to have an off week without a witch hunt unlike Watts). Salem is missing this week with the same illness.

    Yeah I know, so here's hoping he's over it (and no one else is playing sick).

    Fitzy pulled out of last week's game with the flu and kicked 4 yesterday, so fingers crossed.

    And many on here want to delist Fitzy (along with Watts)!

    I liked this post because it doesn't have any alternative colours or fonts that I have to squint to read. Thanks D-L!

    :)

    LoL..... I have difficulty reading normal text, that is too close together, & sentences joined into paragraphs, so I lose my position in the sentence changing lines, so I like to seperate them further apart, to focus my eyes & to help stop my mind from following all tangents possible. It helps with slowing down thoughts & allows for deeper thoughts about that one sentence.

    the colour is for accenting some things for those who are bigoted & hypocritical.

    #edit; for missing word.

    Fitzy was recruited as a project player with talents, so he was expected to take some time to get there. even if only a spare parts player, which I think he can become more than, he is very handy type to have on our list.

    & many of those same people are screaming out for more speed.

    the time to lose a player from the list is of they cannot do it anymore, or they have simply stopped growing/developing within the club.

    fitzy is clearly still growing his footy.

    I think more are calling for him to be traded, but the issue is that he kicked 4 for Casey, not the seniors. I really hope he comes on as he has some very dangerous attributes for a guy so tall, but at the moment it seems very much touch and go with him. But he is a big bloke, so he may just take a little more time.

    Good post Senegor.

    1 I think in his draft year had he been pick 5 the whinging would be almost gone.

    2 I am a fan, but to take the game on more.

    1 Melbourne Jack Watts Melbourne Games played 112

    2 West Coast Nicholas Naitanui West Coast 125

    3 Fremantle Stephen Hill Fremantle 146

    4 Port Adelaide Hamish Hartlett Port Adelaide 108

    5 Essendon Michael Hurley Essendon 116

    6 Carlton Christopher Yarran Carlton 118

    7 Brisbane Daniel Rich Brisbane 119

    8 Richmond Tyrone Vickery Richmond 97

    9 North Melbourne Jack Ziebell North Melbourne 118

    10 Adelaide Phil Davis GWS 75

    11 Collingwood Steele Sidebottom Collingwood 139

    12 Sydney Lewis Johnston 10

    Watts was the number one pick of virtually every club in the draft that year. Ironically, not West Coast who would've taken Nik Nat at number one.

    Gubby Allan told me that. To my face. Not to some sister's best friend's cousin's pet guinea pig.

    So there is a method to the madness.

    Thanks for sharing d-l but if you could try to stick to the same rules and conventions found in English wherever it is spoken and written that would greatly benefit the rest of us

    We all like to get artistic at times,but some of us like to read legible text .

    You can blame Jack watts if you like.

    Plus NicNat didn't want to play in Victoria.

    Would love Jack to be the Norm Smith medalist in our next premiership.

    What are you smoking? Has he ever been B.O.G?

    Yep. A few times, most notably one of the wins against the Bombers where he dominated and in the last quarter marked Watson when they put him forward to try to pull something out of the hat.

    Or even just one of 22 MFC contenders perhaps, for starters.

    I'd happily trade Watts. He's the poster boy for this clubs years of ineptitude. It would almost provide "clean air" as we move forward.

    Will it happen ? No.

    Supporters carry on about his skill and decision making etc, but it's vastly overrated. His total package is "ordinary".

    I suspect your price would be lower than mine but I'd be interested what the lowest offer would be.

    At some point those that have said; "if Watts doesn't show anything then he should be traded/delisted," should surely accept that he has shown that he can produce football worthy of his spot in a good team?

    We have had all these projects in the past that have never delivered and here we are with one that might finally do so and we want to go back to square one.

    We are not going to trade Watts for his worth to us in our 22. We just won't find a partner will to part with anything worth our while.

    I'm of the view that if we trade players with AFL first 22 qualifications we should use them as garnish with early picks for very good players. Otherwise they stay.

    IMO we are now past trying to pick players like Michie, Riley and Newton as we have enough depth to back our own. If we are going to trade Watts and Howe they should be bundled with our first round pick for someone like Prestia.

    Trading Watts for (say) pick 25 would be just so dumb. We don't need youth, we need players who can play and we don't need species like those above.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
