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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
