keep of course. What's the story in Demonland?? Rivers, Moloney, Petterd and Martin should still be playing for Dees. Watts especially is just arriving and will be the biggest force of the game in

Jack Watts wasn't a loose man in defense he basically stood next to the Goal umpire and was like a seagull feeding on left overs. I can't believe our coaching staff allowed him to do this, it was the

I think your judgement is clouded by rage... His possessions weren't great.... But at least he got the ball... Nathan Jones only got half the amount, thats not good enough for our so called best mid....

Watts just doesn't have a natural appetite for the contest. Simple.

He was recruited as a very young athlete; more basketballer than footy player.

Unlike Tippett, Brogan, Grundy, Pendleberry and other basketballers, he is not a natural footy player. He has the skills and awareness, but not the competitive nature.

Lovely young bloke.....but trade him. Will never be a dependable contested player.

AND he needs a new manager; he's getting very poor advice.

Those half efforts and the consistent running away from the contests are an embarassmentt.

They represent all that is bad about the club.

Jack Watts plays football on Jack Watts' terms. "I will attack the footy if there is a good chance I will win it, otherwise I will peel off sideways or backwards. That way I don't lose the contest....." that sums up Watts' footy philosophy.

It is a crap way to play football and will get (and has got) the club nowhere if it continues to tolerate it.

The fact is, we just can't afford to keep Watts. The situation we are in now, we can't afford to be carrying players with the attitude of him anymore. We need as many guys as we can get who want to work hard, run, tackle and get the ball or die trying.

I've stuck up for him his whole career, now I don't care enough for it to be effected by rage. Now it's apathy. He has no heart.

i think its these attacks on individuals that got us in this situation.... We don't need heroes... We don't need villains.... We don't need non-supporters....

I agree that Watts has no heart and wont be with us next year.... But he is not alone...

What we need are players that are willing to have a crack for the jumper; he'll never be one of these and he's not the only one.

That kid is a gutless disgrace to our jumper and club, I watched him closely today and he constantly let Dunnand T Mc do the hard yards, I hate his body language I hate his non aggression at the ball and his opponent and I hate the way he plays as a loose defender and still won't bleed for his teammates, the guys worth nothing at the trade table and he is everything that Glen Bartlett talked about at the presidents lunch today, Kudos to Davey give the guy 1 more season on a limited wage because he deserves it, Christ that pea heart Watts must be barely able to look a kid like Viney in the eye after a game and I personally think one of the reasons JW hasn't been dropped this year is because they Didnt want him Infecting Hogan, that pea heart will be lucky to get a game at another club.

Comparing Watts to Jones is beyond laughable!!

If Watts tried half as hard as Jonesy he would be a superstar.

So you have been in furious agreement with me.

Watts represents a half hearted football team and is part of a list of which half is AFL standard.

The team is this way because of half baked recruiting and half arsed development.

We reward mediocrity with a place in our mediocre football team in which a mediocre effort will result in you being picked next week.

Yeah I am furious at Watts and at the club for all it has done to him and with him, he represents all of the above.

Depends watt you can get for him. I would not be giving him away!! His positional flexibility would be very good for the better performed teams

Are you for real, he wouldn't get a game in a top 8 club, he's got no [censored] heart.

From my view today.

He is on his way, he didn't want to be there at all.

The other players could see it as well, they didn't even want to kick it to him.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
