Watts likely to re-sign

Featured Replies

Don't see Bate as a preimership player.

I could name 12 to 15 core players that will be the nucleus of that flag team - the other spots are going to be taken by periphery players fighting for spots.

I can see Bate being prominent amongst that group.

A flag team never has 22 stars of the game, remember.

Hard to fit under the cap...

 

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

Untrue.

They may take 1 uncontracted player from each club. Should they wish other players, contracted or otherwise, they have to trade for them.

To use the Brisbane example, if they want both Brennan and Rischitellli, they may take 1 as an uncontracted player, but must then come to terms with Brisbane to trade for the other. Given the number of picks they have I would imagine they could agree on a value for him fairly quickly.

Why, oh why, did you have to post the Darren Glass one?

Just brought back memories of that dark, dark day.

Watts is, IMO, the most exciting prospect we have right now.

It was funny - Watts gets absolutely DRIVEN into an Eagle's boot!!

But I do think we've seen enough of Watts to realise he will be a gem. Yes he has done some horrendous things but it's better he does these things now rather than later. It's all a learning curve and he'll be much better equipped for doing those many "horrendous acts" as he'll learn from each mistake.


Funny?

It puerile crap.

Not entertaining and not clever.

Loosen up, mate. It's at season's end and sometimes it's good to see the lighter side of things.

We all know Wattsy will be a ripper in future years.

Don't be so sensitive and doom n' gloom.

Don't worry he never sees the lighter side.

 

So the plan being to have as many key forwards simultaneously out of contract as possible???

Well that would be just plain-STUPID.

I wouldn't mind making fun of Jack Watts if you could come up with something funny, but that is so poor that it's offensive to the senses.

Clever little picture there too. Hilarious.

What is that, making fun of depression is it? Comedy gold.

Wouldn't be you playing the man instead of the ball again, John?

You lead the league in hypocrisy. Well done.

NO PROBLEM WHERE YOU ARE CONCERNED.and listen who's calling the kettle black.

Know lets get back to Watts- the MFC have been extra helpful in their assistance and development of this young man.For him not to sign.This indeed would lead to hypocrisy if he did not sign.

Why would it be hypocrisy?

hypocrisy [hɪˈpɒkrəsɪ]

n pl -sies

1. the practice of professing standards, beliefs, etc., contrary to one's real character or actual behaviour, esp the pretence of virtue and piety

Haha, yeh good call.

On Watts... loved his 55m goal in the 1st quarter vs Port but he really was kept quiet again.

7 kicks, 1 handball, 6 marks and 1 goal. He'll be better for each run he has and for each interstate game he participates in.

In line with the start of this thread.

WHY IS HE ( Watts ) NOT RESIGNED?

Is the MFC Playing hard ball!

Has Watts got too high a ticket on himself!

What is the hold up? ( no pun intended )

My guess is that he hasn't signed because contract negotiations are time consuming and the club has a mob of them to get through. Typically you'd have ~1/3 of your list coming out of contract at the same time so there'll be 10+ other players they're trying to sort out in parallel.

Not as exciting as MFC playing hardball or Watts being up himself, sorry.

My guess Is the club wants to announce a heap of signings at once. Once they're all done we'll hear about It.

I hope that is SOON

Contracts don't run-out till October 31st.

This desire to get everyone signed before we hit October is a foreign business model pushed by the media.

Watts not signed as of September 7 doesn't concern me.

Just as an aside - this was brought up on a separate issue and I don't want debate what some will debate here - but giving Bruce a three year contract from 08 to 10 in March of 07 was way too early to give someone a contract.

Basic theme of this post:

October signings - yeah, little late but meh.

Late September/Early October signings - Perfect time for everyone.

Early September signings - Taking trade off the table. Good time for clubs but I can see why agents wait.

March signings - WTF?


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

Absolute rubbish! I really wish people would stop posting this tripe. The GC can take one uncontracted player from each club for free. If they want others, they can trade for them.

You are 100% right. I can confirm that the club is about to announce a number of signings in one shot. This will include JW. I can confirm that all players out of the Connors tent (minus Miller) are re-signed or in the final stages of being re-signed. There is no risk on losing any of these players.

Who is managed by Connors again..?

Today or tomorrow (Wed, Thurs) are good news days for publicity...traditionally for these types of announcements. Or so I have found anyway. With a lead into TFS. Strategic media management before the build up to the semi's which are in itself seem to represent the lull during a finals series.

So you told us twice that you can confirm it, are you actually going to confirm it, or... ?

  • 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.

    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

    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.
