My brother and sister in law (both Carlton) were impressed with him yesterday and they think he is going to be a star.

 I won't lie, it is nice to have opposition supporters start to credit our recruitment team after years of them being bagged out.

Glad we have him under contract for 2 more!

While I understand you were only kidding, no doubt there will be some peanut who sees this as an invitation to discuss him. It would be nice if Watts could go unmentioned in the odd thread.

To put this into perspective - he turns 20 today... His upside is absolutely huge.

Clearly because they're intent on getting rid of Watts.

You really must be joking or haven't watched many matches, as Watts kicking, smarts and goal sense are exceptional as are his goal assists, an area where Weideman showed yesterday he will be very valuable in our team structure. Although I didn't see the entire game, the two goal assists to Hogan and Viney in particular were very unselfish (and effective)!

 
He does some nice things but nothing more than cameo's here and there.
Had an average season last year and people start wetting themselves.
Signs a lucrative new 3yr contract and turns up to training with a "look-a-moi" hair style and his shorts around his knees.
No wonder Goodwins giving him a wakeup.

If that was an average season, you must think quite highly of him...

Went #1 in his draft year and played 131 games.
He's 6'4,  should be in his prime and tearing a few apart.
But he aint.
So far he's made a nice living being paid for potential.

I implied he had a better than 'average' season.

You then listed his draft number, number of games, his height, a supposition that he should be in his prime and 'better than average' and a dig at his unmet potential.

The first three things are largely irrelevant and I think you have to completely ignore facts to agree with the last two statements - he is literally playing on a contract he earned off the back of his form last season.

Who? Tom 'Weed' McWatts?

That's in the co-captains thread

Goodwin specifically says in his post-match press conference that he's very happy with the way Hogan and Weideman are combining and providing opportunities for small forwards.  He also indicates that there is some further improvements they want to see ahead of R1, that could be Watts and/or Kent in JLT3.

I expect Weideman to play JLT3 and R1.

It's interesting to see the discount here on his "joe the goose" goals, as if they mean nothing.  He either outworked or outsmarted or both the premiership defence on those occasions.

Yes Skuit as I said some people are not old enough to get Willmoys comment.

Ahh, the old smart doesn't equate to wise trick!!!

If there were a poll on this board. Weideman Vs Watts. It would only show two answers - 1. Weideman is great. 2. Watts is useless.

 

anyone know weeds stats?. I like the look of him but can hardly remember him getting a touch. I think McKay had less than 5 possesions but he showed more than Weideman for mine.

Off the top of my head I don't know their stats - and can't be bothered looking. But after just watching the replay I was impressed with Weideman's intent. He wants that football. I don't think he quite has the body for AFL yet, given that I think he is a pack crasher. He will be a good player. Weideman created goals on the weekend, and stats don't show that. Stats won't show him hand a goal off to Viney in the goal square either.

It will if you look at his handball stats.

The stats won't show how many contests he makes and gets the ball to ground for the crumbers to do their thing.  The stats also won't show the amount of off-the-ball body work he does to create space for said crumbers.

This-morning on SEN they were talking about him and i think that Gary said he was very impressed with the work he was doing (even though he wasn't getting a lot of the ball).

How good will this kid become?

An absolute Gun, as long as we don't play him in the seniors to early.

Similar to Taylor Walker, let the Weid DOMINATE in the seconds before he plays Seniors...

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
