Just wondering what's going on with Watts?

I understand why he didn't sign earlier on, great move personally for him...any news anywhere?

Let's sign him soon.

Been really good this month...despite a relatively low possession output v Richmond I thought his game was actually better than his 27 touches v Brisbane.

Great stuff Jack, coming into his own. (That was a goal on the w/e, we was robbed)

 

Nothing as yet. Business as usual. Nothing to be concerned about. MFCSS.

End of Story.

Paul Connors was Watts' manager. Has this changed ?

He may have a female working for him, in fact, I know he did at one point. If Paul still manages Watts I very much doubt that anyone other than Paul would be doing the negotiations.

Odd that info is freely bandied about. What sort of manager discusses negotiations?

And going rates for that matter ?


OMG he's going to the Gold Coast@@@@@@!!!!!!!!!

It's laughable that a manager would discuss this sort of thing freely. Not saying it ain't true and you have named names but its not very professional if true.......

As for Rich - he has won a RIsing Star, has played around 40 games and played in finals. He's an integral part of their midfield. Given the club nurtured Jack as a 17yo through school the whole thread seems bollocks to me

Also comparing player payments doesn't really work very accurately as each club has different issues with regards to cap issues and players are at different levels of development.

And going rates for that matter ?

........I think it is either a canny manager who drops a bit of goss knowing it will eventually pop up here...to and be discussed and assuming that somebody from the club will read it, to achieve what I don't know.......or somebody who is very naive and won't last long as a manager......

I do find it a bit stange
 

I see Jack W's contract as a matter between club & player. This is not the first thread re: Watts and contract.

Personal and behind the scene information should be left to the player, club & player manager. Details as such should remain just that.

I look forward to seeing Jack play this week and beyond.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
