Hmm he might be good at finding space. But he won't be able to use it. He will be rushed all the time

that's what was happening 2 years ago

Depends on how clean our possession is I suppose. I still back him in to get it and use it before he gets caught, but agree he seems a liability in the wet

    thought watts courage and commitment was fantastic clean hands and showed just how skillful he is even in the conditions,he really is the most improved player we have.I reckon he has finally made it

    The man is hard as a cats head head but puts his own players under pressure with poor decisions.

    Poor judge Joeboy ,Watts was clearly one of our best.

    Hogans work rate was poor .

    I thought Petracca was good. Kicked a few on the full but looked dangerous when he was near the footy.

    Jb uils it but I thought watts was very good today.

    Re trenners the poor bloke seems to have lost a lot of his speed.

    Tmac kicking acroos goal in the wet wasn't good but he played okay.

    Oliver and vdberg seem to have dropped a lot of their form last 2 games

    Trenners was speedy at one point!?? o_O

    Mc Donald was thrashed by buddy and you reckon "A steady game" Rubbish!

    You clearly dislike Tom. FYI I was listening to AFL live and Walls, Donegan and Co were discussing giving Tom votes, even though Buddy kicked 4, with the help of team mates and umpires.

    Been saying exactly that for years. He sometimes is a liability and he adds to the congestion around the ball

    Joeboy, everyone on this forum loves Wattsy now.

    Time to blow my trumpet now. I posted ever summer, when people were calling for getting rid of Watts and Hunt, that they were my two players for predicted big improvement.

    It's a cold wet day so for some extra sunshine Redleg you were also pumping up Billy Stretch's credentials; fair to say that's 3 out of 3. The emergence of Hunt and Stretch has been particularly important in light of the decision to draft Oliver over Parish (both good draft choices) as it increased the relative importance of our current stock of outside runners stepping up.

    You sure that was only last summer's ('Watts') prediction Mr Leg? ?

    Thanks for enlightening me.. I actually like him too, in fact he's my favourite current player.

    I'm not quite sure why so many are taking my 'basketball' reference about Watts so personally. In my opinion his efforts on Sunday were fair if it were a dry day, however on a rain drenched ground and with a waterlogged ball his game was totally inappropriate.

    Yes, I agree about Watts and I gave him votes.. I guess that makes me a GOOD judge and I accept your apology.

    Hogan's stats were superior to Franklin's, who was regarded as close to best on field.. go figure.

    Your appraisal of Watts was less than flattering yet you gave him votes?

    Upon closer inspection ill accept the Hogan one.

    When we lose everyone is useless. When we win, everyone is brilliant. Yet, I still continue to open this thread after each game.

    Yes, but I think we have a more honest analysis when Melbourne loose.

    Relax. I'm not taking it personally. It was tongue in cheek.

    Many have made their peace with JW.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
