The MFC are paying Watts $70,000 a year to play high school footy??

Look at it like real estate. Regardless of what we're paying him, and how much he plays this year, it's a long term investment that hopefully skyrockets in value over the longer term.

    he is training with melbourne and preparing for a future with melbourne...he is just supposedly not going to play that many games.

    playing x number of games when he is 17 will hardly make a difference in 6 years time when we are (hopefully) challanging or have been challanging for the flag.

    Surely Casey will get preference over school football...he might even be able to spread his Year 12 over 2 years to make attending training a lot easier

    I think it may be a requirment of the school to play footy. In any case school footy (from what i hear) is a much smaller program than the 22 game AFL season.

    In any case i think Jack will place a high priority (as will the MFC) on achieving a decent VCE score. The club will also take into account his physical wellbeing and i see him playing around 14 - 16 games (barring injury) including NAB, MFC and Casey.

    NAB and Casey will be a lot less demanding than the AFL proper.

    tbh The club will probably go with whatever Jack wants to do.
