    Jack Watts will play in September.  Guaranteed. His former teammates will not. 

    Goodwin on thin ice now 

    This is true and I am honestly happy for the bloke.  He was treated like poo by Goodwin.  Did not deserve it.  I think we are missing his class on the field.  We are missing his composure and decision making.  We are missing his presence in the locker room.

    Such a shame.  A more experienced coach and he'd still be a dee.  

    We have a second year teacher as principal of a school.  Disaster.

    I’m not sure what playing in September has to do with this argument and whether or not we will.

    All i am seeing is pretty much the same as he gave at our club. I’m not seeing a miracle transformation. I wish him well but the first six games away from us has not seen him find a hunger for the ball that he didnt have with us for a large percentage of his career.

    The pick we got from Watts is what we used on Fritsch.

    Shows how good Fritsch is already.

    I’ve moved on from Watts and am a big wrap for Fritsch, but you waited until he played his best match to post a statistical comparison.  Before today’s match, Watts had him covered in every major stat.

    Move on.  Enjoy the player we have and don’t feel the need to validate him by comparing him to a Port Adelaide forward.

    Why?

    JR, each week this thread is nearly always 'bumped' by those who get some weird joy from bagging Watts.  They set the bait then lurk for posters to come out and defend him.  Some are more open with their bait than others.  

    If the trolls are ignored they will eventually have only themselves and their supporters to wallow with in spite.

    Praising young Fritsch.

    I'm not a fan of censorship, but really this thread should be closed down. It does no one any credit to be banging on about Jack. Just demeaning diatribe about an ex-player.   It should stop. 

    We should talk about our current crop of players like Spargo and Fritsch.  Anyone but Watts.

    Ernie, I don't like all the threads on Demonland, I choose to ignore the ones I don't like. Better that than censorship.

    True ManDee, I guess I just get annoyed at seeing the thread pop-up all the time, and the general level of bile directed at a guy that does not deserve the hate. (in fact no-one does other than child molesters and politicians)

    Other threads have been shut down

    Why not this one? Or, are we pandering to the cave bound, socially inept trolls who struggle with a social contract?

    I think there has been a lot of argument that Watts is who he is because of the MFC.

    Or that Watts just needed to be cuddled, cajoled, coached or collaborated into brilliance.

    And that his lack of intensity was some sort of football genius that was misinterpreted by mere mortals.

    I agree that it these have all been debunked, and its time for this to all be put to bed.

    i like Fritsch.

    I started the first thread questioning his intensity before he played a senior game, and was absolutely howled down for it.  :)  Could bookend JW's Demonland career @Nasher ?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
