    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 ?

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
