I struggle to watch Watts without expecting another insipid tackle, dropped mark or failure to commit to a contest. Suspect this will be his last year at the Dees if he does not turn things round - another #epicfail from our old recruiters. Sylvia was another wasted talent, but at least he would attack the ball. Grimes will also exit via his poor ball skills. Trenners another one. Good news is we have so much superb new talent with Hogan at the top of the crop.

DB has to go asap. He is not performing, despite starting the season with supposedly one of the best young lists and a soft draw. OK we have had some injuries of late, but the tone was set earlier in the year. The current rebuild has stalled and needs a big kick in the guts.

Why does Melbourne have so many players of "limited ability" after all its rebuilding efforts?

We are one game closer to DB finishing his masquerade as an AFL coach

I'll come back after a good night's rest, I think... :(Nice Call....off to the snow.

Good comment, though I think Darling arrived with Senior football experience and Watts came out of the Private School system. As a bigger body player Watts will also take a bit longer to fill out and show his true talent, but what I am seeing is pleasing me.....all the best.

Down on rotations didn't seem to impact the Hawks today?

I just hope that summit isn't another 47 years away. Go dees!

I continue to see steady progress in young Jack. He is now starting to have a presence on the ground and commit himself to more contests. I also particularly like his preparedness to take on contested pack marks and invariably select the right option on disposals. He has a big tank and is now beginning to develop into a player that we all thought he would be. Add another 15 games and a good preseason and we should be raving about this kid. All the best Jack.

You are not calling for Bailey's head, but I am. He is not up to AFL level. We need a premiership coach like Malthouse/Roos. My money is on one of these already being locked in for next season; perhaps with Connolly as the interim.

Damn good call - on ya bike Bailey, we need a proven premiership coach like Malthouse or Roos

Elaborate and good call. Time to send him packing and employ a coach with a proven track record including Premierships eg Malthouse/Roos :-)

Jack Watts, Jack Watts, Jack Watts - he is not standing up when it matters, he is missing shots he should kick, he is not presenting and committing to contests, he is doing a few good things then stuffing up big time i.e. failing to take a straight forward hand ball in Q4 when the game is up for grabs. This converted an attacking position into a Freemantle rebound. No doubt he will improve as he matures and his body fills out, but he is not showing the poise and polish you would expect from a no 1 draft pick. We keep making excuses for the big man.....but Trengove and Scully continue to impress. On a positive note; it was good to see the guys making it a real contest after half time. Moloney was a real loss, but PJ looked good & Scully's class shone through again. LJ will continue to improve with game time. Bail will be better for the run as well.
