    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 ?

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
