Just like Nick Stevens huh??????

Very impressive today but I haven't yet watched a game where he hasn't been impressive. From the very first time I watched a tape of Fergus playing for Sandringham, I was greatly impressed with him.

He is the future.

Fergus has incriminating photos of Stiffy_18 with Ayres's wife.

He looked good and its going to be difficult to believe that he lasted until #15 in the draft. He was advantaged by the fact he made his debut on Ben Harrison though. I cant think of a player in the AFL who wouldnt take him to the cleaners-except Reiwoldt for some reason.

So there you have it:

Fergus Watts > Nick Riewoldt

Man she gets around.


Impressed with young Fergus today. His tackling and his attack on the ball and the player were great. Should've been rewarded for that holding the ball decision in the second quarter when Stiffy took the free kick.

What about that pass to Welshy, off the left foot if you don't mind.

Thought the same that Fergus got robbed for the free by Stiffy, who proceeded to kick a point.

How many years do you have Fergus for, 2 or 3?

Gee whiz I wish I'd seen the game, Fergus sounded awsome.

I don't think its Watts > Riewoldt, quite yet, maybe more like;

Nick Riewoldt - The next Fergus Watts.

He wasn't that great. I mean he showed signs. Nice mark and goal in the goalsquare but nothing much else.

He showed more than just one mark and goal in the goal square. His one handed mark whilst bodying out his opponent on the members side wing was very good, his tackling was hard, and his left foot pass in the last quarter was great.

He is no Reiwoldt yet and may never be but you seriously undersold his debut.

Well I didn't mean to do that, just trying not to get my/our hopes up. I'd be more than happy for him to be the next Riewoldt or better.

 

[spindoctor]

BETTER than Riewoldt? Hahaha...that would make him the best player in the competition, probably.

I don't think he's quite as good a mark, kick or got quite as good pace or windtank as Riewoldt.

I not trolling i just giving my view or a senario that could take place Kane

 

[Jars458]

Given that Smart retired to let young players have a go surely consistency should mean Carey retires now as well if he is not going to play next year?

If Carey and Stevens come back you would think Watts and Rutten would have to miss out which would be a shame.

In's for next week could well be Carey, Stevens, Hart and Torney (hopefully!!)

Smart's retirement leaves it open for Carey at least. As for the other outs - maybe Bock, Doughty and Shirley? I guess it depends on how fit and well Stevens, Hart and Torney are.

As for Watts I was impressed with his workrate. he did some nice little things before he started kicking goals. Some solid tackles and good handballs. I loved it when Harris was stirring him in the third and Fergus would not have bar of it. I loved that mark in the goalsquare!

So what's your view of Stevens and Guerra ditching their choking club and leaving them nothing in return?

 

[crazy_big_al]

i think it was OK. I would have liked to have seen the power with something in return for Stevens but it does make a point to other clubs that we will not be forced into a trade. Guerra trade was bad RFK is a joke we could have done so much more

Bock played well as a leading forward.

Dougty and Shirley were excellent in defense.

They won''t be dropped.

No point rushing back the likes of Hart & Goody - let's get them right for 2005.

Outs: Smart, Stenglein (OP), Jericho (but to return after a few good games in the SANFL)
Ins: Carey, M Stevens, Torney

well the above is the official spin on the nick stevens "trade" so that the POP save some face - my spin is that Stevens wanted to play in melbourne, preferably for Collingwood but if not then with Carlton - and so he got what he wanted!! (albeit his 2nd choice) - the Power wanted too much for him, thought they would hold out and get what they wanted, time ran out and they got screwed!!! All this crap about Power players having to think twice in future because Power wont be forced into a trade is just that - tough talk but crap - the fact is that the next player that wants to go home will still go and a deal would be done somehow
Lets face it - Stevens wanted to play in Melbourne and he is.

As for RFK for Guerra - geez i thought Power's recruiting was the greatest in the universe - i think if a more analytical analysis was made of it, one may well find that it is a misperception - vastly overrated - indeed there is a thread on this topic on the Power's own board
