[Topkent]

[Jesslc]

you Melbourne supporters are unbelievable in blaming watts for everything. I watched 20+ melbourne games in 2014 and like roosy, I think he did his job consistently and used the ball without a doubt the best of your list.

If he was picked in the 20s im sure most would he happy with his progress , but being taken number one he will always carry the stigma that he needs to be more than average

Don't lump us all together as one, especially with the one you quoted.

I almost want to make a highlight reel of

I think anyone that holds the draft up as the best way to judge players doesn't know a thing about football

Don't lump us all together as one, especially with the one you quoted.

yeah no fair enough but I'm just making a point because it is a shocking amount of dees supporters.

Not bagging out Watts because i thought he had a good year, but he wasn't that consistent. Watch the replay of the Sydney game. Watts was absolutely hopeless in that game, he'd just sit in loose space and let his man run free, Roosy gave him a good spray during that game

Why on earth did you watch 20+ Melbourne games last year as a North supporter?!

if you are into sadomasochism (that means that you like punishing yourself...) go and watch us play Hawthorn at Etihad.

Have you seen the state of the economy?? **** Jack Watts.

What you should be more concerned about is the major effect Jack Watts is having on Global Warming

Good thing he's been steering clear of Greece lately after the shambles he left their economy in. I also heard he's running the Mexican cartels from Melbourne trainings.

Ablett and O'Meara in doubt http://www.couriermail.com.au/sport...265334726?nk=bcdbd6982368cb38a055afeb08e7ed9e

Huge for us if they both miss.

And with Lynch out suspended, it would make our job a whole lot easier! I remember the Saints last year though, and that was meant to be a "certainty". Gold Coast are obviously a much better team so I'm definitely not counting my chickens.

NAB Challenge 3 injury list
Jeremy Howe (hamstring) – test
Jayden Hunt (back) – 2 weeks
Dean Kent (heel) – test
Alex Neal-Bullen (knee) – 3-4 weeks
Christian Petracca (knee) – season
Jack Trengove (foot) – indefinite
Bernie Vince (hamstring) – test

 

[PerfectFooty]

Sounds like Vince and Howe might be well enough for round 1. Keeping my fingers crossed

You never barrack for an injury, but I would be lying if I didn't admit I'm hoping Ablett is just a little bit too sore to risk round 1

 

[Bluelegs]

If he was picked in the 20s im sure most would he happy with his progress , but being taken number one he will always carry the stigma that he needs to be more than average

If he was picked 2 or 3 he wouldn't even be thought about. Even Cale Morton and Richard Tambling didn't cop what Watts gets and he's better than both of them by a long way.

It doesn't matter how many times you post sides with Spencer in it; if either of Jamar and Gawn have a pulse, they'll be ahead of him.

nd we'll continue to be shit and get flogged in the middle.

 

[Cannon82]

And we'll continue to be shit and get flogged in the middle.

We may well, but Jake Spencer isn't going to fix that.

We actually started to get the ball back when Gawn came on because Jamar's ruckwork with the exception of one tap to Jones was shithouse.

Also Spencer makes us worse, the sooner you understand that the sooner it'll be easier to accept that he's got no future.

 

[Topkent]

Round 1 side

Potatoes

 

[stretcharmstrong]

And potatos - we've got plenty of both!

 

[booshboy]

Only positive to come out of last night is Rodney Eade saw that and has probably now decided to rest Ablett and O'meara for round one.
