When he had a serious tag he was shut out of games as you could tag him out with not being used to it. If the tag was on Jones he could break it or still have a positive impact on the game. I think around round 9/10/11 he started getting noticed. I'm banking on a big year from him too.

All that strength in the lower legs is good for those inside mids that once they get the ball they break the pack to clear space then give it off. Perfect for him in my eyes as he does like to try and break packs.

The new quadzilla?

I can't answer this but always liked coming home on a Monday to see them break down the game and get his views on how the boys went.

Only problem with that, is we have Jones and Viney taking the inside roles already.

It's obvious he is not a huge defensive player which is what most of last year was about. This year will obviously be the same but with a burst of an offensive play from the backline here and there to break the game. Thats where I think he will come into his own. I enjoy seeing him get the hands from around 50 and unloads for goal. Thats the Jack Watts we need, an offensive machine. He won't be there all the time which will make his games look up and down, but I think you'll find he will be in alot of those offensive plays.

How is the big PDF file going?

I like Dawes and think he really offers something to the club. But lets face it, he doesn't need to mark all of them. We have a good crumber now!

Confirmed. Definitely down for this.

Did they do nothing over the break? haha.

I think Watts will be alot better this season. When Melbourne are winning games, he is firing. He kicked most of his goals when Melbourne had won. With Melbourne winning more games this year I think he will do quite well.

I've got my money on Tyson to breakout.

Awesome write up rpfc. Cheers.

Thing is though, there isn't much room up forward with Hogan, Dawes and Pederson. Big tall forwards with Kent, Garlett and Bail picking up the crumbs. I think even though he is better as a forward it is much better balanced with Howe in the backline. Plus, there aren't many in the team that can take those intercept marks.

Uh, ok.

Dunn can easily take a tall, allowing grimes to run as a HBF.

Any more info about whats happening there?

That is understandable.

From what I know, it is like the different ways of saying dance. Think of saying Petracca in the posh way if that makes sense haha.

I believe his name is actually pronounced Petrucca, although obviously spelt Petracca. Trac = Truc/k The more you know.

Do they need to be penalised in 2015? Why not hold out a year a penalise in 2016/17 when a 17 team fixture can be made up?

A fit Grimes is going to be ahead of Salem/Toumpas you'd think. PS. Its Garlett.

For those complaining about hurting the fixture further, do you see an alternative to punishing a team heavily without compromise to the fixture?

I'd like a bit more run/speed from the backline.
