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...

    Is this stand alone thread worthy? It’s being discussed in the JLT non-Dees thread. 

    Yep - sorry.

    Should merge

    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.

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

    Watts is no exception.

    I wouldn't have thought we needed to be overly encouraging of Jack or pot him. He's somewhere else now, I wonder when some around these parts will move on.

    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.

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

    Didn’t James Sellar do something similar vs Port in 2013 when we beat them pre-season? Kicked 5 iirc and barely got a game when the real season started

    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.

    Hawthorn ran out onto the ground looking pumped, I reckon they’ll thrash Carlton. Plus no one ever won a game wearing baby blue.

    Well done Jack. Some of us still luv you and always will. Come home soon and bring Ollie with you . 

    Go Dees

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
