Watts likely to re-sign

Featured Replies

bloody great news for both the guys, both important players going forward

 

My money would be on Bate, as his demise has been rather rapid (e.g.- told-the-club-he-was-going-and-hasn't-been-seen-since type of demise).

That house is for Brad Miller, or actually Pia.

McKenna is trying to make a move.

On a separate note, I love me a Jack Watts thread. Definitely long overdue for one.

Hope you didn't have too much money on it!

This is good news, but anyone who's surprised is kidding themselves.

But...but..Bate hasn't been playing and Mckenna bought an extra house...

That was for Bock, Brown, Harbrow, Krakouer and their mates.

All comments made in that silly Rumour Thread were made with a big portion of "taking the [censored]".

Seriously, there is not a single believable rumour in there.

Brucey boy to GC?

Gold Coast can only take one player from any club, in any fashion. They cannot take an un contracted and also a trade.

Matt Bate is obviously going nowhere.

Cam Bruce is obviously going nowhere.

Brad Miller is obviously the Gold Coast player from Melbourne. IMO.

I thought, here we go, yet another JW thread, but in this case a good thread. Good to see two young guys signed up.

Congrats Bater and Killer!!

 

Gold Coast can only take one player from any club,

Are you absolutely sure on this?

I know that this is explicitly stated for GWS (over 2 years starting next year) but I couldn't see it stated for GC17, just a max of 16 uncontracted players

Do you have a reference?

My understanding is that GC can take up 12 uncontracted players this year. the max. is one per club.

Eg. they cannot take anymore players from Adelaide

This rule applies GWS next year.

This is true, if they want any other players from the same club, they will need to trade for them.

Max of 16 uncontracted. Max 1 per club.

It should be noted this is a maximum, not also a minimum.

GC officials have mentioned in multiple interviews that they are only looking at taking 8 uncontracted players this year. A lot of people seem to consider the GC situation in terms of 'who will they take' rather than 'will they take someone'. This is an error.

On topic, great to have these two signed up. Particularly Watts for 3. I like it.

not that I don't believe you, would still like a reference (link) for the max 1 bit for GC17 (not GWS)

Continuing to stoke the fire which started earlier in the year. Great to hear.

You know you will have to expand your routine sometime.... B)

Yes you are correct it is 16, this is a rare event I was "wrong"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just joking

In addition to that, I believe the AFL in the past few days has clarified that it is a maximum of 1 player from each club, including the draft.

So, for instance, if both Jared Brennan and Rischitelli wanted to go to GC17 (which I believe is the case), they could not take one as an uncontracted player and then the other nominates for the draft and GC17 takes them there.

That would not be allowed.

For good reason, but I find it strange the AFL can stipulate there are players in the draft that one club alone is not able to pick.

I agree it all makes sense and people have been saying so, but everytime I read an "official" statement of rules I never see it spelt out.

Would just like to see it in black and white somewhere

Of course we wont have to wait long now for it all to play out

Correct!


Don't see Bate as a preimership player.

Don't see Bate as a preimership player.

You need to look a little harder, Bate is a good half forward.

People have wanted him to be a KPF which I do not think he is however if he were playing in a side were he is the third or fourth best forward

he would get the third or fourth best defender.

under those conditions you would not be expecting him to win the game every week and he woul;d look much better.

Great to see that Bate is signing and Watts extremely likely. I'd like to see Jurrah stichd up for a further 3 years too.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
