Watts is our most important signing

Featured Replies

Jack Watts has become our key play maker. His decisions and delivery are just magnificent.

With so much inexperience in the side, someone with watts poise and disposal is so important. never will be the contested beast but we dont need that from him. Clearly a better player when we are winning the contested ball which this year we have been. 

I have little doubt the club will secure his services but gee his link up play across half forward is vital for the team going fwd. possible the best set shot in the league, and rarely stuffs up a possession. 

Hogan is important obviously but dont underestimate watts future contribution to the clubs chances.

 

Such delicious irony

So underrated it's beyond belief. More important yes. No he has not re-signed to the best of my knowledge and is a free agent I believe.  Let's get it done ASAP.

Bloody oath. didnt realise it. Clubs are going to come for him. Big year for Mahoney

 

I would love to see Jesse Hogan do extra goal kicking sessions with Jack Watts, if Jesse could convert with the same efficiency as Wattsy he would be the best forward in the comp.

Both are, really.  When Dawes, for example, comes back into the side then Watts becomes a very dangerous third tall.  

Nev is clearly our best backman at the moment, and he is able to play both tall and small.  

Both are crucial signings for us going forward.


Watts is playing very good football. Is he the MOST important... I'm not so sure. He's certainly in the top three.

T. McDonald, Jetta, and Trengove (yes Trengove) are more important.

McDonald's and Jetta's ability to shut down players is essential. If the club is able to acquire a second tall and ready to go defender (like Hurley) Tom's game should go to another level. Without either the team would have immense trouble controlling opposition forwards of both tall and small.  

 

Trengove:

With the way the game is going, it's suggested that there will be a smaller interchange cap which will tire players quicker and slow down games.

Trengove has stated in a recent interview that he likes this concept as it's more suited to his style (he's an endurance machine).

Early in his career his talent and potential were incredibly exciting, I considered him more exiting than I do now for Brayshaw, but after suffering an injury and forcefully playing through it he began to slow (literally), stop developing, and almost have his career cut short.

Now that he's on the mends I think he still has plenty to offer, and could possibly thrive with the interchange cap. 

His upside vastly outweighs his current market value and subsequent trade options.

 

As for Watts, he does have a lovely kick for goal and does find himself in good position up forward, I just wish he crashed the contest a little more. Without a doubt I would like to see him re-signed it just depends on the price he's asking.

i wouldn't say jetta plays tall, that's stretching it. maybe he plays taller than he looks but not to the extent he can play on a tall (189+cm)

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
