Watts had his moments, obviously, but certainly not stiff to miss out. Didn't have a great game.

    I quite like Sidebottom as a player, but I thought he really went missing for them in the second half when they really needed the likes of him to stand up under pressure. 22 possessions in the first half, only 10 in the 2nd. Got badly caught with the ball a couple of times trying to beat the tackler, and his clever kicks in the first half were too-clever-by-half in the 2nd half.

    A great game is precisely what Watts had! Even if that greatness can be filtered down to fleeting moments with the ball in hand, the symbolic nature of his triumphant arrival at the pinnacle in the closing moments; the eruption of joy amongst team mates and supporters; the fact that every step of his charge forward and spearing goal will be etched into our collective memories forever... that is the essence of greatness in our game, Sir!

    You're a hard task marker

    This is why I find stats misleading. I get how many possessions Oliver had (for example).

    Jack Watts won us the game, then saved us the game. End of story. If it had have been Cyril Rioli , he would be in Team Of The Week.

    Collingwood get 2 in the side off a loss. We beat them get 1 in the side, 1 on the bench and the fans pick.

    This shows how the game was won and lost really. We had a more consistent team performance across the ground (as we usually do) whereas Collingwood relied more on 2 or 3 to win it for them (as they usually do).

    Hibberd >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Howe

    Exactly. Watch the 'all the goals' video and see how many goals Howe was involved in. Carp defender

  • Quote

    How did Viney get in ahead of Oliver and Jones (who had to be voted in)? Oliver was far more influential. 

     

    Hibberd is/was better than Howe too. It's a 4 quarter game.

    Well the AFL has to fit in as many Essendrug players as they can each week as part of their agenda to give them as much positive press as possible after the drug saga.

    Just watch, there will be 4 or 5 Bombers in the AA team even if they miss the finals.

    About 19 of those guys didn't make my TOTW.

    Trying to pump them up before the next court case revelation??

    Wonder what they were on at the weekend for such a surprise result?  Can they keep it up?

    Port crowd were apparently giving it to them as well, the old "Mitchell Motion"

    Again, for all the respect Oliver gets it's not nearly enough. Viney stood out in the 4th, but Clarry was crucial.

    Agree with your description of the moment totally, and agree that moment was great .........But.......greatness will only be the continued replication of those great moments.

    I reckon Watts has had many moments of on and off field great incidents, but until there is consistency of action at that level I am reluctant to label him as a great of the game

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
