Hogan & Watts

Featured Replies

 

Noticed their work as a duo more today than ever before.

They make space, they lead well and not to the same spot, they both run all day (so do Frost and Pedo, too).

The forward line is looking much better now than it has in 10 years.

 

Our best forward line partnership since Nitro and Glycerin ... :lol::)

The new Jagger/Richards;but seriously,I love their teamwork and have noticed at training that they look like good mates.

No Jagger/Charlie Watts

Rumours of Dawes' demise have been grossly exaggerated. If he's fully fit, he will be one of the first names on the team sheet.

At least until Weideman is ready.

Watts is now stepping up as the 3rd tall forward doing what Lynch is doing for Adelaide and Gunston for Hawthorn.

Weideman & the 2nd ruck/forward are the missing pieces.

Good call BA....tbh, he's exceeded my expectations where he's even crashing packs now!

Ha, ha. Good call in hindsight. I'm tipping Piping Lane to win the 1971 Melbourne Cup, myself.

Sign Watts up and dont stuff this one up Dees!

Its a great combo to watch!

Could this be the Lyon Schwarz combo of 1994??

I like Hogan, Weideman, Watts being our new Neitz, Schwartz, Lyon. Now that would be something...

Hogan, Weed, Watts, Petracca

Schwarz, Neitz, Lyon, Jakovich

 

Go Dees

As a longtime fan/defender of Watts, how pleasing it is to encounter a thread full of posts calling for the retention of Jack rather than calling on the FD to trade/delist him.

My admiration for those posters who man enough to admit they got it wrong.

Good times ahead for the Dees. Get your money on before the odds blow out. Prediction is that for the first time, the Dees will have multiple listings at year's end when they list the top fifty players and/or the All-Australian team.

6 goals, 35 disposals and 17 marks between them.  Add to that the 39 disposals, 3 goals and 10 marks from Pedersen and Frost and the tall forwards are looking very nice today. 

I think what is running against Dawes is his chronic / recurring injuries making him an unreliable option when others are steaming ahead.

No doubt if his ongoing fitness and availability were a bit more certain he would be secure for a few more years, but other than the fantastic support, encouragement and guidance he by all accounts offers the young tall forwards at training he is actually a passenger on the list.  It will be interesting come list naming time, especially if numbers and salary cap are very tight 

Any chance of some sort of assistant coaching / formal mentoring rôle?

Got what wrong? He was a liability for a good number of years because of his his lack of appetite for a contest. It's fantastic that he has finally added a physical dimension to his great skills. 

Seriously, pionkers like you who say 'oh, I've always been a fan, Anyone who he has criticised him in the past blah blah blah' annoy the living daylights out of me. He did start in 2009 you know. It's his 8th year on the list. He was dropped for the last game in 2015 you know - not because he was shooting the lights out.

Got it wrong related to consistent calls for either trading or delisting him. 

I got it wrong.

I didnt think Jack would come good. Im very happy the wait was worth it. Id be gnashing my teeth if JW had been traded and this form was being enjoyed by another team.

I've gotten stuck into Watts over the years as many on here would know. His game is now complete, on top of elite disposal and his reading of the play he now attacks the contest. If not for the dropped chest mark he would of had 5. I'm genuinely bloody pumped for him. 

Me too and I hope he can keep it up for the year to put the doubts to rest once and for all. I thought he was done for but it looks like he may be coming good and I couldn't be happier.

Within Juniors tantrum lies the salient point. We are all loving v.2016 Jack Watts and so glad he is still with us.  But he is still in debit as far as many are concerned over his career. Previous criticism has been warranted as is the current praise.  It was not wrong and we need not apologise. If he continues this phase as long as he did his previous then we will be very pleased indeed and more likely to be a successful football team. 

Hogan loves the dees and his team mates, he's going nowhere!

I think C Pederson has finally stepped up and over Dawes.

All that junk in the media would get to anyone eventually. He was hounded and criticised relentlessly. Full credit to him for perserevering and finally rising above it all. Quite a few commentators need some humble pie. They are being quite sheepish about praising him now.

 

Love the way Hogan struts around. Its almost gorilla like. No offence Mr Hogan........ Sir. ........I apologize.......I take it back....

    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

    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.
