No offence but your mentors got it wrong. 

I was always told tell the truth, sometimes people won't like what they hear, but if they are true to themselves they will respect you for it. 

 

my mentor told me that sometimes people get the truth confused with opinion.

    Very easy to mistake opinion for truth.  A mistake many people make, especially here on DL.

    20 games this year for 10 goals. Yet so many want it in his hands and declare him a dead eye.

    If he comes good, forget about Jarrah being the biggest comeback ever.

    Kicked 10 from 16 shots. That's a pretty reasonable percentage. But don't let using the full stat ruin your shallow analysis.

    Comes down to who's opinion you respect.

    Does Watts respect Roo's??

    You can tell the truth a number of ways (manners), this doesn't necessarily confirm or mean my mentors got it wrong.

    Was also third at the club for goal assists.

    I actually think that's his biggest asset, and why I think he is the perfect player to slot in with Hogan and Garlett as a full time forward.

    also spent more time through the midfield, than up forward and rarely ever deep forward rather a high leading half forward.

    Number of goals is irrelevant to his ability to kick the football, Gartlett kicked 40 but i wouldnt want him taking a set shot to win the game.

    Are you implying he doesn't? On second thoughts i've got no idea what you are saying.

    IMO, if our list is strong enough and deep enough for us to delist Jack Watts at the end of next season, then we are serious premiership contenders for 2017.

    his point is that's how much we would need to have improved for Watts to become no longer required

    in other words it isn't going to happen

    I also agree re goal assist. He is an invaluable asset as a high half forward delivering the ball lace out to petracca, hogan and garlett. 

    Watts is the best in the team at you 20-40 meter passes

    Many argue Roos isn't a match day coach and lack game plan mouse, but is the master of team building and empowering the players. Watts either doesn't understand what is being asked of him (quick, someone ask me how I know what Roos is asking of him) or can't bring himself to do it. Mentally weak and needs to go.

    Sorry, still not sure what you are saying. So many words. So little clarity. 

    A query though. Watts played 20 games last year. Don't you think it is safe to assume the coach would not select a player who didn't understand what is being asked of him?

    In fact if Roos has made one thing clear is that players will not get selected if they are not performing their role and doing what they told, that's to say a player better understand what is being asked of him (and carry out that instruction) or he won't be selected. So the only logical conclusion is that Watts understood clearly what was asked of him. Or perhaps you have another 'truth'?

    Yes and no, some AFL coaches during a coaches clinic a few years back told TAC coaches to not be so hard on their players, to respect each players feelings, to get players to rate their own performances after a game, to tell them that they didn't fail they just played a bad game. Twelve months later those same coaches said forget everything we told you last year.

    I'm good for another $100 with you H_T or do you know I'm right?

    Not for me BA. I'd rather not gamble over matters such as this.

    • 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.

      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.
