Sometimes I really don't understand the feuding on this site. FWIW I have been firmly in the "don't delist" camp and would summarise JW this year as follows: 1. He is certainly surpassing the "mi

I'll back Watts to play more than 10 games next year. For the Dees, not Casey.

I am always happy to give him a break.    Why?  Because he is a good bloke,  who tries hard and is a good club man. If he isn't up to it, the w

That's just waffle from a well-known lightweight.  You haven't addressed one aspect of what you're disagreeing with.  As I said, you've been hogtied by your own incompetence.

As I said preseason, goals per game was a worthwhile parameter for his new role.  Naturally you scoffed, because you lacked vision. He had to impact the scoreboard and he has.  You couldn't see it coming, which is why you call it a "stringy" objective.  That's how dopes defend their earlier lack of insight.

And thanks, I'm going to have a wonderful day.

 

Is there an echo in here?

ProDee, you use the club's b & f as the litmus test, then you use goals, then you compare Watts' output to Gunston's....

Make up your mind, lad.

Watts is having a fantastic year and he's been an integral part of the team's progress.

Time for a hug.

Another non-thinker.

Clearly a B&F result is a litmus test, as is goals kicked for a permanent forward (i.e. Watts role this year).  

There's a reason Jeremy Howe is a failed forward and plays down back.  He doesn't impact the scoreboard.

Some of you have been posting here for a decade, but haven't grown an inch in that time.

Honestly ProDee, all internet wars aside, I think you need to accept that not everyone will see things the same as you. Doesn't make them a "dope" and doesn't mean they haven't "grown an inch", just means that they don't agree with you, no matter how many posts you use to insult or thrust your "logic" down their throat.

Have a cuppa mate.

Watts' role this year has not always been the permanent forward. So, wrong...

Further, it still grates on you that you've made some outlandish commentary about this player's future and been found to be....wrong x2

So, admit that you're wrong x3 and let the healing begin.

If you didn't potshot from the sidelines with your gifs and inane comments you wouldn't know how to participate on the internet.

It's little wonder your lightweight views get held to account.

No, he is a permanent forward.  The fact that he drifts back at crucial stages or at the end of a quarter doesn't change this.  It's called modern footy.  Rest assured, he's a permanent forward in 2016.  Even more to the point, be thankful he's finally playing his best role.  Not only don't you seem to recognise this, you even want to deny it.

And clearly enunciate to me where I've been wrong about this player.  Remember, put some effort into it or you'll come up short.

Except when he is in the ruck or playing back or on the wing.

I won't pander to your challenges, PD....I'm busy. You are wrong about 2016. 

You scoffed at my observation that this player is finally exposed to a coaching regime that's got a clue....or, you'll refute that too?

Suffice to say, he's playing fantastic footy.

I'm going to sit back and enjoy the ride. I suggest you do, too.

Nah mate.  You have to do better than that.

Does anyone understand footy in here ?

Other than evidence you mean? You clearly have your biases as we all do, I disagree with you. When everyone disagrees with you it is possible that they are right.

Yeah mate, and Hogan isn't a permanent forward, because he goes back too.

No more wasting time with you.

Not quite sure you understand the definition of the word "permanent"....

Stuie he is an augmentative strop, a little like you, and me and many others here.

 

Edit:- I meant argumentative strop but I like augmentative that could work.

Not yet, no mention of Nazi Germany or Hitler, give it time.

 

 

Edit:- Whoops,  I may have mentioned the war, but I think I got away with it.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
