So Mr Watts, how do you feel about the clubs direction now?

looks almost certain to sign Paul Roos,

Geoff Walsh from all reports looks good too

PrIority pick on the way

Jesse Hogan coming onto the list

or you can go to Carlton who don't look like ever being more than a B- team

oh how the tables have turned * Laughs like evil mastermind *

 

decision now close

mfc has agreed to install personal latte machine in jack's locker

Push 2 buttons...Done :)

If he was already going to leave and we end up securing Roos he will really have egg on his face when he leaves after that coach comment.

Can we maybe not have a go at Jack for potentially wanting to leave? I'd be sad to see him go too, but there's no way I'd blame him either. And I'm of the view point that he wants a reason to stay, not a reason to leave. If Paul Roos is what keeps him here, rubbing it in his face isn't the way I'd go about it. He had every right to see what his options were.

He might leave.... he might even be traded by the new coach. Time will tell.

He is staying

I am very happy with mine. As a gift for turning 50 made it even sweeter.... :)

looks almost certain to sign Paul Roos,

Since when did 50-50 mean an almost certainty? Not the laws of probability I learnt in high school...

He is staying

He is staying because he is one of DeeZee's favourite players [and also one of mine] and we know how to select players who will prove exciting times for the future of the Club.

Thats right, but he also gave a little hint to someone i know, and asked her make sure she renewed her membership next year, with a little wink.

I personally would be happy as I have always liked Jack, spoken to him many times and believe he has more skill and talent than nearly every other player on our list.

He needs a new coach to help him develop physically and mentally, to harden up and to become desperate in every contest.

Add 10 kilos to his frame and a good coach and he could be anything.

It's work rate with Jack, I don't think he will ever be hard at the contest but if he can work harder then he will be a player.

You went to the wrong school clearly.

Yep 96 - 98 Kegs should do Jack W, imo.. keep his versatile abilities...

now with these recent events since last night, I'm back in the keep JW grouping... as I think the new coach scenario will allow the whole group to have a change of attitude. & motivations. this could save JW's career.

It's work rate with Jack, I don't think he will ever be hard at the contest but if he can work harder then he will be a player.

I think its belief in the club, & following that, its commitment.

remember Josh hunt, was it last year, when he ducked his head a couple of weeks running? it think that was wavering commitment, causing a mental distraction, focus off ball & onto peripheral things.

You're right of course DC...that's why I went for the Kogan equivalent...half the price and equally efficient ;-)

On one hand i can see why Jack would want to leave but on the other hand I would be really annoyed because I just feel he owes some loyalty for us being so patient with him. Sometimes you just want to go up to Jack and shake him and say we know you have talent for gods sake let us see it.

However the new coach may not want him and may think we could get something better in a trade which would be a blow to his ego.

with Roos on board (well lets assume hes signed) you are now going to see why Watts went at pick 1 in the draft

Only reason he hasnt exploded yet is cos the MFC have been a joke the last 6 years and player development has been pathetic

Watts has still has a solid year, but he will be a star in 2014 under Roos and his assistants

Your/our expectations of a solid year are pretty low. Watts has been awful on several occasions. What position do you see Watts playing under Roos and what aspects of his game do you see Roos magically improving? Personally I don't see how hardness at the ball and willingness to chase and tackle should have anything to do with a coach.

Watts reminds me of Adreas Everett as a player and based on his experience at the swans I'd say that Watts is still 3 years away from being a consistent player with a lot of time spent in the reserves honing the physical aspects of his game.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
