Jack Watts in 2016?

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.

    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?

    Aren't you busy replying to Nasher telling how mean he is ?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
