Treated badly by who?

Posters? Oh.

Mark Neeld, he said himself in not so many words they didn't get along real well, Dean bailey threw him in the deep end far too soon.

Just loved the way Watts crashed a pack up forward for us today and skittled two of the Giants.

I saw it. It happened.

We need Watts

There are many others to delist before him.

The Club's fault?

Not his?

The fact that he refuses to impose himself on a contest has been Neeld's fault, Bailey's fault, the MFC's fault.

Fair enough.

The thing I find most interesting that Roos think Watts could be a great footballer but some here think we should let him go, so with that if Roos coaches us and keep him then Roos is a spud of a coach as he cannot read what makes a footballer!! Interesting.

It's both really, you can't tell me Watts wouldn't be a better player if he was drafted to Geelong or Sydney?

Then quite frankly hes soft.. Watt we need are more of the likes of Jones' temperment and effort . How is it such a player of this ilk can play despite the f ups of coaches weve had ??

You as an individual are always responsible for the path you take. You have choices. . Nathan has choices.. Jackie boy does to. Lets not put all the excuses of lack of development in the "oh its someone elses fault "

Just so folks get me. .I would really , REALLY like WATTs to come good. He is talented, he has skills. but like someone ( sorry cant remember who butits good ) suggested its like the Wiz of OZ.. He needs to find something.

I cant believe these lads on SO much money need someone tohold their f'n hands all the time..

Grow up , harden up you lot....soft lazy bustards

I agree that he shouldn't be on our list in 2014, not the type we need, stands for what's wrong with MFC.

Was Mick mentoring or grooming him last year?

certainly in his ear...funny that

You're kidding. Waiting to see who's going to be coach??? Not worth two bob. Runs, sorry, jogs around all day with no idea what he's doing. He couldn't run guts for a slow butcher.

Get rid of him quick. And while we're at it, get rid of the No.4 jumper as well. They've been duds for nearly 20 years.

Ok he's gone. Much better for him. Why does everyone on demonland talk about jack. Because we can all see he's good, just not showing it. It's probably good for him and us for him to leave, he might never be good at MFC and if he becomes good somewhere else good luck to him because we have treated him like absolute shite and should just say goodluck.

Fine,then let's not whine if he leaves. I think it will be best for both parties. I just don't want to here the talk of him being disloyal. You either wànt him or you don't.

Have always stood up for Watts, and I do still hope he stays and gets it going, but he was PATHETIC today.

Today he played like the Watts that everyone who doesn't rate him thinks he plays like.

Likewise Stuie. I've always defended him and stated how I think he'll become a very good player for us.

Today however the penny dropped for me. There was absolutely no reason why Watts shouldn't have been playing with intent and aggression, especially as he was playing against mostly boys. He will take the Sylvia path I'm sure - he has supreme talent but doesn't apply himself on field (can't comment on his training output) and is extremely lethargic. He'll always be inconsistent and extremely frustrating and his attitude is one I definitely don't want at the MFC.

Right now we need strong leaders, not blokes who are whining about who's going to do it for them.

Posted

I can't wait to see the back of him.

Lets go one better, he must not be played AGAIN. We all want a culture, let this kick it off, if you don't want to play for the jumper.....sodd off!

Garlett and theyr first rounder

garlett

run when he wanted the ball

stood still when time was to chase and pick up backman running downfield

lays tackles with one hand slap to side of body

yep we better get him

Posted

If we trade out any players then it's for mids or picks. (but mids preferably - and good one). Otherwise let him walk. Let GWS take him and we can have their #1 pick. I really don't care as long as we don't bend over to let him (or others) walk to the club they want and we get a nqr spud in return.

Would we miss him and could always do with the cash to recruit someone else.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
