Watts waiting on coaching appointment

[Balls 31]

Watts waits for call on new coach

Couldn't really blame him, could we?

What are your thoughts Demonlanders?

[jumbo returns 6,741]

More pandering.

How quaint.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,246]

Who the F... , does he think he is?

[Machsy 2,858]

Not worried.

Play on.

[Jerry Lundergard 420]

Is this for real?

So are we to assume that it a guy like Rocket gets the gig, who can give a good spray, that Watts may walk.

But if a zen master like Roos is hired, he'll sign?

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

fair enough too.

[Jaded No More 68,974]

I too would want to know who I'll be working with before I agreed to go work somewhere.

It's fair enough. He wouldn't be alone. I'm sure Frawley and Hogan would sign an extension sooner if Roos signed on.

He does realise even if he does move he he will still be demonlands whipping boy ... right?

If he leaves who are we going to pay out? Toumpas?

[Real Demon 232]

Fair enough, would do the same to if I was him too.

I think he will stay, but he has had a tough time growing up at the MFC, and still many unanswered questions regarding new appointments.

Over to you PJ!

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

i thought trenners was the new whipping boy anyway?

[Sir Why You Little 37,128]

We are all waiting. Not just Mr. Watts

Fair call considering the last few years.

[GrandOld 367]

If he wants to go what would we get for him? Not a first rounder

[Young Dee 1,303]

If he wants to go what would we get for him? Not a first rounder

Probably something like pick 88 - which we would then go on to not use

[daisycutter 29,738]

I think it a good idea we wait till the end of the season to see if we want to make him an offer

over to you jack, play well we offer contract, play bad and we look for a trade

simple really

[GrandOld 367]

we could trade Watts and Roden for 88, then use 88 to get Roden back?

[whatwhat say what 22,946]

Rubbish we'd trade it for a 30 year old!

I was surprised anyone would sign up without knowing who'll be in charge for the next few years.

Gawn is totally in my good books!

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Correct me if i'm wrong but am i to understand that our number one draft pick, (who has been nothing but under whelming since the day we drafted him) is waiting to see if the club (who has been patiently waiting for years for him to actually fulfil or even look like coming close to fulfilling his potential) is able to sign a coach that is up to HIS liking before he even considers putting pen to paper?!!!??!!!

Excuse me, i just need a moment to myself here:

Typical Melbourne footballer, no loyalty, no ability, no bravery, look at me, will not sign up if I don't like the coach, we run the club, how great am I.

[ThreeOneSix 954]

Watts won't go anywhere, it's not even worth potting him over.

[daisycutter 29,738]

surprised he's not on the coach selection panel

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,408]

Never been one for the priority pick but should the unthinkable happen and we somehow get pick 1 plus 3 wouldn't that change things nicely.

Top stuff Song. Funniest work around these parts for some time. Whole family had a chuckle over that clip and the context. Giving you 8/10 for that one mate

. He's a good player, you don't need to be silly.

WYL the entire "out of contract" playing group might be waiting!!!

[Nasher 33,617]

The only quote - which is from his manager and not Watts himself - just says they're waiting for a coaching appointment. It says absolutely nothing of the sort regarding threats to walk. But by all means, jump the gun, accuse him blackmail, call him names etc.
