The is not a thread about Jack Watts. He can be discussed ad nauseum here:

We needed a new poll on the homepage so this thread is purely to state your opinion on whether he should be picked for Round 1.

DL, you are doing my head in, is it or is it not another Jack Watts thread?

Yes if he plays well against WCE. movies johnny depp fear and loathing in las vegas fear and loathing hunter s thompson

    So basically we are to discuss whether Jack Watts should play in Round 1 without discussing Jack Watts...

     

    Over to you Demonlanders.

    We already have x^2 threads on JW, and a round 1 team thread (or maybe several)....so we need this?

    In England they have a thing about hearing "the first cuckoo" to show that spring's nearly here.

    On Demonland at about the same time of year we have a thing about hearing "the first Jack Watts poll" to show the footy season's nearly here.

    Thus the connection between "Jack Watts poll" and "cuckoo".

    And he should, but he won't.

    I think John Watters should play in Round 1.

    There, I used a pseudonym so I didn't talk about him while still talking about him at the same time.  That makes no sense but it's the best I can do going by the parameters of the above.

    Goodwin is going to cop it big time from us and the media if the following events happen:

    • We lose to St Kilda
    • Our forward line is dysfunctional
    • Watts is running around in some meaningless minor league scratch match
    • Weideman gets 3 possessions and 0 marks
    • Vandenberg has a disposal efficiency that matches his jumper number 

    I fear the last 2 may occur if things go south and Watts misses the match.

    I think it's the fake Jack Watts thread. ^_^

    He's in our best 22 so he plays. If he's down at Casey and I see plodders like Vandenberg running round against St Kilda then I'll be annoyed, especially if we lose. I don't care if he has a supposed attitude problem, if he plays and plays well then it's irrelevant.

  • Quote

    He should play JLT 3 v WC and if he lays 3 forward line tackles and 10 pressure acts he plays round 1. 

    If he doesn't do the team things with increased intensity then I'm happy to go in against the Saints with lesser players who will give their all. It's a long season and we have to get Watts sorted out at the start of the year otherwise he may as well have played the last two weeks.

  • Quote

    Feels like we're giving the Saints a gift by voluntarily not playing a 38 goal a year forward who has exquisite skills.

    Maybe they can return the favour by resting Bruce or Membrey to make it even.

    Do you hold every other player to the same standard? How many tackles and pressure acts have you counted from Hogan so far?

    If Watts is part of our best side in round 1 then he plays - and surely nobody is arguing that he isn't.

    Gee VDB gets a bad rap round these parts. I re-watched the Carlton game the other day and he did some very handy things.

    He is a pretty good midfielder. Unfortunatly with the depth of our midfield he doesnt quite get in there. They keep playing him forward but he is not anywhere near as good as a forward. ANB is in the same boat. They are great for midfield depth but I hate when the club play them out of position just to reward them. I'd rather see them play T Smith in the medium forward role than VDB

    Personally I’d like to see him actually play a practice match this year before deciding whether he’ll play round 1. That’s sort of why they play practice matches I thought.

    I think he should play in the JLT 3 game and if he does it would be great to see him perform strongly. 

    It would both vindicate Goodwins actions and silence Watts' critics.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
