good on Watts , well done on 6 , I hope he proves us all wrong an plays like this each week , he can play , he aways could Just sadly for us it looked like he was always in 2nd gear. I don't think he will last but lets see at the end of the year.

its only early and he has a point to prove to the only club that wanted him.

Watts is still downhill skiing

You clearly didn't watch the game. 

Most of his possessions were in a contest of some sort and he took 4 or 5 marks!  6 goals + 3 goal assists.

Maybe this coach knows how to use his talents to best effect...

I did actually..... How many were against Adelaide's first second or third best defenders?

Except Lever it was mainly the Crows GF defence. 

Watts played very well, even if some on here don't want to give him credit.  He fought for just about every one of his 17 possessions and his goals were pure class.  I agree, he is needs consistency for the whole year but he deserves credit for his match winning performance, not just a cameo.

It will be a long year on here if posters delight in potting Jack's good games for Port.

It will also be a long year if you take subtle swipes at the coach for 'not knowing how to use his abilities...' every time he has a decent game.  It works both ways.

I'm genuinely happy for Jack.  I'm also very happy with the trade, the acquisition of Fritsch and how well we are going at the moment.  At this very early stage it's a win for all involved.

But, our focus should always be on us.  Be happy for Jack, but never fret when he plays well.  WE are building a premiership list, WE are playing ripping football and WE are the ones who will be pushing up the ladder.  Enjoy it.

The lazy pea hearted downhill skiiers often improve with a change of team.

Watts is no exception. 

So I suppose you recommend we import some lazy pea hearts?

I'm not taking the bait of your first line!

Giving Jack credit for his good performances and being happy with Fritsch and how we are going are not mutually exclusive.  Open minded people can do both - of which you are one but there are many on here that cannot do that and delight in potting him. 

To me Jack will always be one of us and I will delight in his successes.

I wasn't trying to bait, LH.  It's a no win situation on here - the moment he plays a ripper it will go one way, when he plays poorly we'll get it the other way.  No need to stoke the fire.  It seems unnecessary.

And I agree with your last line wholeheartedly.  I really do hope he plays well for Port, but on the flip side I believe the trade was absolutely the right thing to do, not just for Melbourne, but for Jack as well.

You'll be happy with Bayley Fritsch, who has courage in the air and is just 21.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Fritsch has never kicked 6 in a preseason game. Worst trade ever.

Didn't take you long did it, how come we heard nothing from you last week when Watts was useless ?

Bayley has done eveerything right so far

Jack W never got out of 2nd gear. 

Someone will ask him that one day, after he retires

Why don’t you mate?

Fritsch has two practice games under his belt, Watts has more than 150 league games...

Seems an easy comparison at this stage I’m sure.

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
