OMG just stated watching thee replay, how is Tim Watson calling Watto's free in the square incidental contact and lucky? His arms got chopped and he got belted in the face FFS.
Tim Watson's commentary doesn't get any better Carrots....he was just disgraceful all match
Agree on Watson...just biased dribble for the whole game
People went nuts over Eddie commentating Coll games........ But a bloke who's son is playing and who basically recruited the coaching set up of a club is OK to be unbiased in his call??? "Patty Ryder could be the most athletic player in the comp"...... c'mon Tim!!!
Delusional disorder is characterized by the presence of either bizarre or non-bizarre delusions which have persisted for at least one month
This is really starting sht me. It seems to be popular to blame Watson for not fisting the ball through but no one has any inkling as to whether he knew how much time was left. Reeks of bias.
I got a text from a mate as Gibbs was lining up saying there was a minute left, obviously took a while for the text to come through. Still can't believe Gibbs couldn't make the distance.
I was driving home from the airport punching the air outside the window as 3AW said we couldn't lose from here....my missus warned me not to jinx it.
Was watching the Ch7 delayed telecast and didn't know the result. My wife came home with 1 min 47 secs left on the clock and just said "Pity they drew!" I thought she was effin' joking...............! Is that adequate grounds for divorce?
A touch harsh there Shawny. We have been crying out for another forward option and he may be one. OK let's not get carried away, he's not the messiah but he could be better than just another naughty boy. I'm all for giving him the opportunity to finally come good.
Important comment - good pick up TNT Blue. Tells me that Meat, Watto or Waitey won't be at Princes Park next year. Can't see Kreuz or Hendo being traded.
I also found MMs comment that few blokes doubt themselves more that Watto. Man, that explains a lot. Question is, can he build on what he achieved today? Can he achieve that with serious opponent?
Yeah I didn't get it that way Baggers In fact I thought Mick gave the impression that he was quite pleased that in 2015 they were going to have a bit of a dilemma with a glut of forward options....a nice problem to have...an "outstanding" problem in fact
on Matthew Watson

"Fantastic I think Watto needs to look at that game and say over and over ...why hasn't this happened before?....because there is no-one more self doubting than him, and it's taken a long time for us to have the confidence to say....now step up! Now what he's done is thrown a spanner in the works with regard to our forward line structure ...which is outstanding...Henderson will be available early next year...Kreuzer will...five don't go into three....which is terrific for us"
So it's a nice problem to have...... but also there's probably a little message to those holding out for extra contract concessions that Watson just damaged your bargaining position to some extent.
That's the way I interpreted it Lods, he was almost salivating at the prospect of all those options plus probably new ones he might bring in.
I nearly did give 'em a break - a broken coffee cup or a broken TV screen.
Sorry LP, don't get you - I thought I was being positive about Watson - the club, well that's another story.
If the club had played him as a forward early this season he'd be trade bait now, 100% trade bait.
This is the best thing that could happen to him, a slow steady rise to a long career. He has spent a season in the VFL learning to deliver what he delivered today but he still has a way to go. Late in the last he got the ball at about 55m in front of the members and centred it with a 40m outside edge of the boot pass. The kid can and should have had a crack at the sticks, he is capable of it.
Sorry LP but he's only been tried as a forward in the VFL in the last few weeks of the season, from the reports I've read - admittedly I've not attended any VFL games to actually see him. People on here though, me included, were suggesting he should be tried as a forward a lot longer ago than that. Wonder why that didn't dawn on the club earlier, especially when we're supposed to be desperate for a KPF? If he's looking like he may be suited to that role now why wouldn't he have done so then? That wouldn't have precluded him from a "slow steady rise to a long career" now would it, possibly would have put him on the right track earlier? Just askin'.
Anyone have any idea as to what happens with our team at certain parts? In the second quarter you could sense we just came to a complete stop no run, Nothing, then the confidence seems to fade... For a while And then out of nowhere we pull it out again! Don't get what it is... The fade outs.. Anyone?
I think the Bummers just put a lot more pressure on us and stopped our run and flow in the 2Q. We couldn't break the shackles again until into 3Q when they began to to tire and we could again start to re-assert ourselves.
That's the best I've seen Watson play in a dark navy blue jumper - he looked very very promising as a forward. My major gripe was though, WTF has it taken the powers that be at the club this long to try him out as a forward?? I was almost on the point of throwing my empty coffee cup at the screen. Hell, we've been suggesting trying him there for at least a year - gee they are slow learners at CFC!
Anyway, rant over. A few potential positives there for next year esp. Watson and Sheehan. Brock also looked OK but was not shown up for pace today. Maybe with a few new additions next year may possibly bring us a bit more joy.
OMG how does Graham get dropped for Brock and Armfield. A perfect opportunity to get another game into young Nick and Mick plays the tossa as per usual. Sure Graham was not much chop last week but who as? Disgraceful decision.
Puzzling to me too, I think we should have stuck with Graham for this one. Smacks of a very conservative approach to shore things up for the year rather than looking to the future.
I really think we'll be keen to end our year on a positive so I think we'll see all out effort from the boys. We'll have to be on our mettle for 4Qs - if we are we're in with a chance.
Is that adequate grounds for divorce?
