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

His consistent lack of effort, and "i'm not really interested" attitude really throws all the support i have given him back in my face.
It breaks my football heart to finally say that he needs to go, as we will never build a winning culture with him in our team.

He couldn't care less about AFL football, the people who support him and more importantly Jack Watts couldn't care less for the Melbourne Football Club.

Love how after one game, posters jump on and off.

Remember after kicking 4 in the bullies game, we had threads saying he is a gun, give him the farm, pay overs. he is all class and will be top 30.

Offer him a contract for what he is worth. 350Kish. If he wants more. See ya.

He has enough talent to persist with if the trade deal isn't right.

Didn't see the game , if that's the case he must be dropped for the final two games. To me that would build culture.

350 k, you must be joking, will be lucky to get 260 k on the open market.

I have been a one-eyed JW supporter, but it's stuff like turning his back to the play (when we were in possession) and ball in vicinity at the 13m mark of first quarter that makes me feel the guy is not wholly committed. He doesn't 'gut-run' to offer himself to the ball-carrier, just little half-runs. That said, the overall team performance is so poor that it is hard to mark him fairly.

Didn't you want to burn me at the stake over Tip Toes ?

Or was it another matter ? : )

Bush Demon Many of us are dismayed and saddened by the efforts ( sic) and viewpoints of lil ol Jackie. His current displays are diametrically opposed to the potential he showed. Its infuriatingly disappointing. Then theres his lip service...I mean....honestly.

This is the final straw isn't it? TSFKA completely disheartened.

I think Ben-Hur in another post said he was sick of caring, tired of talking.

P_Man trying to stay positive, but wavering.

Even stuie has had enough.

We need to chop players like this bloke off our list. We're a laughing stock for playing him.

If you have the diehard supports disheartened, then something is wrong.

Jack, only you can fix this. Develop some passion or clear off.

ive been on Cols case a long whiles but he got into the spirit of things and loved it when he remonstrated with jack.. Kinda pot and kettle but it needed to be shown. Love to know if any follow up after the game, if any REAL Demons might have had a quiet word !!

Silvia's intent and body language was excellent today. He cares about how the team is performing. I think he will stay.

Yes, I know , very odd possibly that I would agree but my position , always , is from the perspective of the team . I just want them to play , well, passionately and ideally in a winning manner.

To see him plssed off was good. Maybe its the key that unleashes the potential. He has done this to a degree this year but theres still a level he can go to. I dont think we'll ever see that from Jack, more the pity

so you think he did enough today?

..........

Nope....but Crowley has much bigger scalps to his name than N Jones.

N Jones has had an excellent season....and to bag him because the AFL's best tagger nullifies him is ridiculous...it is then that the likes of Watts should really step up. Sadly he didn't, can't and won't.

Says it all, I thought he would be great, a great waste of time is watt he is, 24 touches and how many were anything apart from a handball give and get back, A private school pansy, with no heart.

Give him away for nothing and we lose nothing, Drop him to Casey make a statement ! When Freo got it back after his ineffective touches, he shakes his fist. Well arn't we all angry,

Disinterested and could not care, Needs some angry pills badly. Dunn has nowhere near his ability but many times the desire and application. We have a lot more dead wood to cut !

Giving JW Norm Smith's number 4...before he had done anything.

Another of Schwab's genius ideas no doubt.

Jack Watt's needs to feel some pain...and come out the other side.

He has to go. Try and get the best trade for him but I think other clubs will offer next to nothing.

Disagree with your last comment, jack has immense talent and I wouldn't underestimate what we could get for him at the trade table.

The club we played today, I think would be one keen on watts, with their abundance in midfielders we could get one of their middle tier midfield type players (suban, c. pearce, de boir, spurr) and maybe a later draft pick or one of there younger mids (crozier, michie), who are not getting a game with freo currently.

A trade like that would benefit MFC more than keeping jack on our list, I think it's best for both parties to part ways.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
