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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
