Hi all, First time poster. the most concerning thing to me regarding the whole watts fiasco is that the club has preached watts entire career "play your role, number 1 or number 78 in the draft isn't relevant." Even Goodwin quoting numerous this year that jack is just another player. Now, albeit he hasn't entirely fulfilled his potential yet, he still has been more than a handy contributor for the past few years. All of a sudden he gets put up for trade and "he hasn't lived up to expectations?" doesn't sit well with me

6. gysberts 5. bruce 4. green 3. moloney 2. morton 1. jones

i find funny whenever bate bruce or batram make mistakes everyone jumps on their backs, grimes turned it over at least 4 or 5 times just saying, even though grimes is one of my favourite players & is a star. an observation

great game from bruce & scully weve turned a page, devastating to loose last night

i'd also like to know why davey made so many mistakes, & hasnt really progressed since an oustanding year last year. (bar collingwood game) you can usually breathe easy when Davey has the footy that it will advantage us

the difference i personally think was between 2004 & 2005 he played as a foward & midfielder who was more the cream to a team that could have made top 4 and had a serious go. in 05 he hit his peak and dominated the first 3 games firstly because the team did very well and he received alot of the ball + confidence skigh high. in 06 whilst still in his 'peaking years' so to speak he had become a bigger part of the team & not just the cream, he had more responsibility & was more accountable therefore less attacking and his roles have changed since then & doesnt look as good because of being in a weaker team, therefore he has to get his own footy which he didn't do as much in 2004-05.

then please voice your opinion as that is what this site is for..

94? groin? he played his first game in 2000 and hurt his shoulder (collarbone) against the saints round4... or am i widely mistaken or reading your post wrong

well i saw no-one had posted the 3 word analysis and i thought if no one will do it ill give my 2cents worth. sorry if i offended anyone..

whats crap about it?

sylvia- a quiet game mcdonald- he worked tirelessly scully- kis can handball macdonald- good with errors happy?

Davey- prolific but wasteful Green- our best player Moloney-wasnt his best bruce- outstanding 1st half batram- kept harvey quiet garland- not his best sylvia- was quiet (for his standards) grimes- alot of possessions trengove- an okay game frawley- provided good rebound mcdonald- worked tirelessly bennell- wasnt very noticeable rivers- very disappointing game macdonald- was good with errors (kicking to the man on the mark, unforgivable) dunn- a better game jamar- was beaten early bate- was very quiet warnock- a few errors (the dropped mark & hale goal.) jones- worked very hard petterd- good in patches (dont know how bad that injury was but didnt look great) martin- didn't look great scully- the kid can handball

you are a joke and dont deserve to call yourself a 'fan' disgrace

completely agree

im with vincehotboy, apparntly whenever theres a turnover its bruces fault.

Batram- solid team game Bate - brilliant all night Bennell - had minimal impact Bruce - ran hard, effective Davey - brilliant in patches Dunn - much improved performance Frawley -couldn't fault him Garland - not his best Green - presented all night Grimes - a little down (but still good) Jamar - all aus? Jones - worked hard, brilliant MacDonald - showed those lions Martin - good in patches McDonald - outstanding game Moloney - BOG Petterd - keeps on improving Scully - very exciting prospect Sylvia - a class player Trengove - best game yet Warnock - a solid contributor McKenzie - did good things

6. Moloney- superb game 5. Frawley- brown 1 goal 4. Trengove- best game yet 3. Jones- kicking was excellent 2. Bate- was everywhere 1. Bruce- creative and good run (yes he had errors, but i thought i he was very good.) apologies to green, sylvia, jamar all great games & do the whole team. Rivers will find it hard to get back in the team, and morton in out ?? GO DEES

brilliant brilliant post. 100% correct

exactly. every error he makes people on this site scrutinize. also i think his directing of traffic goes unoticed. dont get me wrong he makes errors, sometimes due to lack of confidence/judgement/skill all is well to voice your opinion, but i think this needless bruce/bate bashing is uncalled for & ignorant. wake up.

he wasnt on burton u idiot. watch the game.

bruce didnt play on burton for longer than a few minujtes i was at the game and he played on chris knights for the majority, get your facts right
