That can't happen under the AFL rules, only the expansion teams were able to do it when they first entered the competition

lol.... Doesnt mean it hasn't happened....

maybe resign might be the right word here.... I am a supporter of Watts... But I've heard that he is already commited to another team....

He can commit all he wants but unless that team is GWS or he is prepared to leave to go to a team down the bottom of the ladder then the team he may have committed to has to deal with s favourably.

This is our best our best chance of seeing if Watts can become the player we all want him to become. As much as it may pain some posters on here, we need to take Roos at his word and trust that when he says Watts is an important player for the club he knows what he's talking about.

There's lots of other poorly skilled dead wood on the list that needs to go before Watts.

Not my favourite player, but let's see what he can do for a couple of years with an experienced, successful practitioner at the helm.

I don't understand why somebody would verbally commit to another team during the season? I just don't see the advantage in it, or why it would occur?

new start

guaranteed contract price

chance to play finals

stable environment

6 years of rubbish,maybe

value in your stock at the time

other than that , maybe the new club has to make their list final and their trades ready

Hopefully Little Lord Fauntleroy will now agree to stay. However, it would be nice if Roos pulled him aside and told him we want him to play for us on the proviso that he is not a massive soft [censored].

Love it that Watts thinks he is so friggin' important that he needs to be spoken to by the new coach before Roos had signed. If Watts wasn't a number one draft pick no one would care that he is out of contract. This is like Jack Fitzpatrick coming out saying he needs to know who the next coach is before he re-signs. I'm a fan of Watts and I have defended him many times but he is starting to annoy me.

"but he would play better and go in and get the hard ball now that r"o"os is coach"

don't you think he would be tuffer now that paul is here,yeah I do rrrrrrrrrrrrr

ppppfffftttt,you cant shovel gutz into cowards

Jazz a, I just think he may never has the intensity required to play a huge role for us. Hope I'm wrong. I watched the match last night and every one of those players were making second and third efforts as if their life depended on it.

Hope Jackie boy was watching!! Ohhhhh He is probably on a well deserved trip OS . See ya next year Jack

Funnily enough, I don't think our improvement next year is as tied in with the likes of Watts and to a lesser extent Sylvia as it is with taking blokes like Pickles Evans and Fitz to the next step. For mine, Fitz is our Westoff ( in style and appearance) and Evans is a ball magnet hampered by injury.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
