    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
