TEAM SELECTION AND MATCH PREVIEW - ROUND 1
At the break of Gawn replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Frost, VdB and Harmes are not in our best 22. VdB couldn't hit the side of a barn. He lacks the finshing skills of an AFL player but good enough to be a very good VFL player. Harmes is also in that category. Terrific endeavour but lacks the necessary skills of an AFL player. The first thing Goodwin said at the WCE post match was "skill execution and turn overs hurt us". I think Roos/Goodwin have got them all as competitors now so the attention has got to be on our skill execution. I'm a fan of Bugg though as I think he's a terrific runner, but with the rise of our young midfield and the inclusion of Lewis, he's probably just outside. I think the biggest gift of an inclusion has been Weiderman. Theres's been lots of speculation about Watts selection yet I felt he showed more in his first half against WCE than Weids showed the entire JLT. I can't see a thrashing and am hopeful of a win but won't be surprised if the Etihad/Saints curse continues. -

No way Pedo is in. I think Weids out could be the surprise. -

Ben is normally pretty accurate with his tweets. Seems strange to misinterpret ruck work. -
"Dees rookie Joel Smith a strong chance to debut against the Saints. Jack Watts did extra ruckwork at end of training. Expect him to play." - Ben Guthrie

Agree. He's in our best 10 let alone 22. Not sure if it'll mean that big of deal if he plays round 2. I suspect that if he was left out it'd be about a punishment more than a form thing. Even Hodge isn't playing round 1 due to calling the club a few hours too late about missing a training session.

Best 22 for Round 1, 2017
At the break of Gawn replied to spirit of norm smith's topic in Melbourne Demons
Gawn had one of his best games in rnd 21. He's very fit. I think the real challenge is either Pederson or Watts to take the backup. -
Best 22 for Round 1, 2017
At the break of Gawn replied to spirit of norm smith's topic in Melbourne Demons
I think Goodwin likes to be a bit coy with the media as it's also a vehicle for opposition clubs to gain intel. Obviously he's not going to show his cards yet. The beauty of this "in the mix" speculation is that it makes St.Kilda's planning much harder when considering our forward line. The teams are announced on Thurs night and most of the pre match planning is done before that. On the flip side, all of the Melbourne coaching staff know exactly who's going to be lining up in the saints forward line. -

If we lose and Spencer + Weid add nothing just wait for all the backlash over his non selection. -
Best 22 for Round 1, 2017

Same. Can't see Weid getting a kick against the Saints back line. Surely the big forwards will have to be Hogan, Watts and Spencer. -

At the break of Gawn replied to dees189227's topic in Melbourne Demons
After watching that it was obvious that the Watts thing was definitely a training attitude thing not some specific metric. Said he was disappointed in him and gave him a clip around the ears. Seemed unsure about Spencer playing. -
http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/melbourne-forward-jack-watts-to-play-for-casey-on-sunday-20170313-gux22a.html Another chance for him to blow off the cobwebs

I think Goodwin's summation was pretty spot on. Had a good first half, did some nice things. Was good defensively. Got burnt a few times by his team mates running into open space. Looked a little rusty I thought though. Not enough evidence to suggest he's going to build upon 2016 or regress.

JLT Round 4, Thursday 9th March - West Coast at Subiaco
At the break of Gawn replied to McQueen's topic in Melbourne Demons
Calm down. He was trying to move it on quickly, but Hogan was out of position so he had to pull back. Regardless, he drew two defenders and almost set up a goal. -
If we beat Saints round 1 I will ...

Dwayne Russell is commentating the game (heard him mention it today on 3AW with a Tom McDonald interview). So perhaps watching the replay on mute if we win? -

Training - Monday 6th March, 2017
At the break of Gawn replied to Demon Head's topic in Melbourne Demons
That's because the media didn't ask about Jetta or Frost or Garland etc. The media loves a Jack Watts story so it was actually them who singled Watts out. The club just responded. Garland may also be down in his standards but no one cared to ask. -
Champion Data ratings of our list
At the break of Gawn replied to Wiseblood's topic in Melbourne Demons
I agree. I think it's pretty accurate. I love Viney and Lewis, but there are a lot more midfielders ahead of them which puts them in the average category... e.g. Parker, Dangerfield, Cripps, Hannebery, Shiel, Kennedy the list goes on. -

The Should Jack Watts Play Round 1 Poll
At the break of Gawn replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
JKH is out for 8 weeks and VdB had an injury concern over his ankle. Watts might just get lucky...
