    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 ?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
