    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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
