RESULTS UPDATED.

Or Headless could be a complete dick hole and play off like for likes.

Green vs Bruce
Whelan vs Jetta
Fritsch vs Robbo
May vs Neitz
Woey vs Vince


You sick * Less

I think at least one of these will eventuate.

Man I thought Davey vs Watts was a lot closer tbh. I loved Davey but Watts was so hated he ended up underated

Would have loved a Watts v Johnstone match up.

Id give it to TJ I reckon he stepped up more often.

I think the results are underselling Watts, yeah, who I really liked. But I also think Davey had more impact overall.

Davey got to play in a better team. I like Davey but Watts played his whole career in a dog shit team. He would have been remembered different if he played 2000-08 instead of 08-16

Watts in 16/17 was unreal, would bloody love him in our side now.

I definitely think he could have been tougher, but I don't reckon there's been another footballer in history who's had people focus on what he can't do more than what he can do that Watts. Majority of afl fans and even alot of Melbourne fans would say he sucked for his career. He was a good and very good player for alot of it. He was so poorly coached he never had a chance. Trac and Oliver can make millions a year, skill wise Watts put them both to shame

Agree Watts' career is undersold for sure. Finished top five in the B&F maybe 2016? Slot Watts in now instead of 2009 and it's a completely, completely different ball-game. Might be the best kick I've ever seen for Melbourne. Certainly top few.

Also, on Watts, could play key forward, could play midfield, could play half back. Very versatile. Even did well in the ruck when required, I recall.

Roos got the best out of him, the first coach he had with a clue and knew how to use him.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Id give it to TJ I reckon he stepped up more often.

Watts put in more effort in this play than TJ for a whole career. If only.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Funny the career arc of Watts and Davey how I felt about them. Started out loving Davey but was sick of him by the end (undisciplined frees/would always crack it when tagged), started out hating Watts and loved him by the end.

 

[Toump Ass]

Also made lovely shorts, was good at swimming, liked birds. Could do everything, a real "man for the people".

What a blockbuster match-up to come up first round. Both scored 300+ points in the 426.

I'd almost suggest to make a loser's bracket. Almost.
Also would've votes Watts

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Would be rude not to post this while Whelan is still here..lovely finish by Johnstone too, all round an inspiring bit of play

[mrmonkey]

In all seriousness I would put clint bizzell in there as well but he only played 88 games in the red and blue. Still it's more than his 75 at Geelong.
