Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Well Fritch would be the one to go as he’s the one that we got with his pick. Fritch has been good, and has done an admirable job of filling the Lever hole, I would argue Watts would probably have gone down a similar path with first half of year in forward line and then floating in defence to cover Lever’s absence. 

Fritsch is a better player, even after one year. 

I am hoping he goes up another level in 2 weeks

My comment is not about Watts. It's about bundling the period since the guys I mentioned joined us with the issues of the previous 7 years. I was drawing attention to that dividing line rather than being critical of you.

By the way, do you feel like a bigger man after that gratuitous smart arxe "champ" comment?

I can see what you’re saying. Many people have played a part in the journey.

That's not what I said, Pates.  Don't put words in my mouth.

My point is simply that, by making finals, we have shown that he wasn't required for us to do so.  I'm not potting the bloke and I've made my feelings clear on it.  But to say we're better with him in the side is not correct.

I guess my point is we’re a better side this year for a lot of reasons. Oliver’s game has gone to a new level, Gawn has had an (touch wood) injury free run, Brayshaw has had an injury free run and shown his true potential, Hogan has had a better year with injuries/health and personal life, Harmes becoming an excellent player. 

Improvement was always going to happen with all those dominos falling into position. We don’t know how with all those things happening it would’ve affected Watts’s game, most of us came to accept he was a cherry on top player that could show his best when the team was at its best (essentially a front runner). We will never know whether with all those things coming together that Watts might’ve taken a step up in class as well. 

And remember we are (currently) only a better side by one win (and yes a bucket load of %), there are dozens of factors to consider but I feel it’s an oversimplification to say we are better without him. 

I think it’s just sad that people (not saying you) feel the need to slag off a guy who a) got traded against his will b) stayed loyal at times when he had every reason to ditch us and c) was IMO treated quite poorly at times by the club and it’s fans.

Touched a nerve have we? I like how you’ve instantly assumed I’m a man with next to no knowledge. 

It was a terrible period and Watts was simply not good enough. If he was we probably would have been better, and he would still be here. Why is this so hard to understand?

Are you people all going to send Lynden Dunn a bouquet of roses if they play finals again next year? How about a box of mixed reds on Stefan Martin’s doorstep when Brissy make the finals next year? Actually all you Watts do-gooders should all get together and belt out a beautiful rendition of Danny Boy for Shane Woewodin or anyone else that has been traded ‘against their will’.

His destiny was in his own hands and given ample amount of opportunities but he just didn't grab it.

I was a Watts fan, but reality is he coasted all the way to his 150 games..

He would not get a game in our side right now.

I bagged the club for letting him go for pick 28.  Club looks like they knew what they were doing with Fridge.

I am rapt Port missed, but wanted Jack to play finals footy.

 

No sentiment in professional footy; which was why Goodwin made this ruthless call.

I was also a Watts fan. I did NOT want to trade him. If nothing else purely for the fact that we needed as much elite kicking as we could get. We made a tough decision and I do feel bad for him because he clearly bled red and blue but we had to make this decision.

Wrong.  It might be a hard pill to swallow for some, but we're a better team without him.  Making finals this year is proof of that.  

While I stick by my earlier comments that he would be hurting to see us play finals, and I do feel sorry for him that he can't experience that with us, but I don't think he was harshly treated, and nor do I think we would be better with him.  

Wrong.

I’m not sure if this is entirely true. He agreed to the trade he was under contract. He could have dug his heels in if he really wanted to. To say that he was moved on at gunpoint is not right.

He didn’t want to go, his manager made a public plea on his behalf saying he wanted to stay. That is very rare in these situations, I suspect he was given the hard word by the footy department saying if don’t go we won’t play you. Or something to that effect. 

When a player is put up for trade it’s very rare for the player to dig their heels in as you say. The only one I can remember on our side is Hawthorn were really keen on Ryan Ferguson and tried to trade Brad Sewell to us. Sewell apparently gave it the ok but Fergburger refused to go and the trade fell through. 

Watts wasn’t wanted, so there was very little option on his part.

Yeah Ryan Ferguson is the only one that comes to mind for me. Not unheard of but very rare. And knowing Jack he’d probably rather take his medicine than do anything to hurt the club.

It's still not out of the realms of possibility that Jack Watts could kick a matchwinner in an elimination final against us at the G, i wouldn't be going too early ?

I can see it now, Watts has to go back with the flight and jump to take the mark, Fritz standing under the high ball... I look up at the ball, I look down at Watts, I look across to Fritz... phew, I relax. Uncontested mark.

I would have preferred the club found another way to trade into Fritsch. Perhaps moved on Tyson or someone else. Watts would have been handy this year, especially with Lever going down. If we had Watts we could probably consider trading Hogan as well.

 

As much as I like Watt's his efforts no longer fitted the expectations of the club.  I would take a half fit Hogan over Watt's every game.

Ahhhhhh the old Watts debate I was wondering when this would surface again... 

For the Watts fan boys (& girls) how many seasons he had with us were you happy with the consistent output from jack? 

Sure he had great games, however he could almost never back them up. 

He would have moments of brilliance followed by moments where he would be scared to go near the ball. 

He was taking the [censored] in how poor shape he was rocking up to preseason in. 

Where as fritta is the complete opposite, an absolute work horse, doesn't balk at a contest and is just a natural footballer. 

I know who I'd prefer to have wearing the jumper ESPECIALLY when the heat is on. 

Jack seemed like a top bloke, just Colin Sylvia MK 2... minus the [censored]

Watts is way better then fritsch! But jack lacks what makes a good player into a great player, hunger  competitiveness watts has to me reinforced ever few games, port was the worse team he could have gone to they are soft. People hate macca but he is the right sort of coach for watts, he is hard on the players, thats why he got sacked from the bulldogs, kids of today are soft, most can't take harsh  criticism and a kick up the bum.

So taking all that in, yes fritsch is a better player then watts, because unlike watts he wants to be the best he can be.

I was a big fan.  Thought Goodwin wasn't a fan from the get go. He was harshly treated by the footy club.  A more experienced coach wouldn't have sent him packing.  We would be better with him.

But at least the worst possible scenario I could ever have imagined (him knocking us out of a finals spot/game off his own boot), won't happen this year.  

 

(yawn) which bit of 4 good games in 150 do you not get? A player that was on the list for 9 long years? Not treated harshly at all. Was told exactly what he had to do and failed to do it.

Has the distinction of being dropped by every single senior coach he has had. He even dropped himself.

1 top 5 finish in the B&F. Says it all. Worse at the Bluey presentation when he got up to speak he unbelievably said words to the effect "its taken me a while to get up here (to speak at the B&F). Normally I'm down there drinking the free [censored]. I guess I now know what it takes." He then came back from the summer break and was dropped for all pre season games because his skin folds weren't right and his training regime was not as it should have been.

Goodwin rightly said 'I am going on holdays and this bloke had better not be here when I get back'.

You don't create success with people like Jack Watts at your club. You create success with people like Harmes, Viney, Max and others that bust a gut. Coasters like Watts are cancerous in a club because young players come in and see that senior players aren't working hard why should they.

Good on the club for taking the hard decision. And I would also bet that the players would now say we are better without him.

At AFL Level Fritsch is a far better player, regardless of natural ability.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
