Time is up for some players

If Melbourne's list was determined by Demonland it would contain N Jones, Tyson, Cross, Vince, Hogan and Jetta. And maybe Salem and JKH. Everyone else would be in trouble.

edit: added Hogan

and why do you suppose they would stop at those names....it bears thinking about ( theres probably a handful more ) but again...Think

Thats getting somewhat close to the mark.

Watts needs a hit of Ayahuasca and some psychological awakening to form a bond between his mind and body because at the moment they're so far apart. Until he is comfortable in his body and strong in the mind, he'll always float about.

The guy doesn't need any more football related training or exercises.

He needs to see a sports psychologist and strip back some of the conditioning that holds him back on the field.

And ayahuasca.

watts needs to take about 6 of these Pre game -

This label of "bashing" that gets attributed to anyone who is critical of Watts' output to date is silly.

Just a reminder, this year , per game Jack 19 games Nic Nat 18 games Jamar 14 games Gawn 6 games

This year, Jack Watts Nic Nat Jamar Max Gawn

Kicks 9.2 4.1 4.6 5.0

Handballs 8.4 8.6 4.4 6.3

Disposals 17.5 12.6 9.0 11.3

Marks 5.0 1.5 1.8 5.0

Effective % 79.4 66.7 65.6 75.2

Clangers 1.8 2.3 1.7 1.5

Hitouts 0.1 21.8 33.8 14.7

So Watts is not a failure, Nic Nat is no superstar and Gawn is great value for money.

NB Gawn is 2 years younger than Nic Nat

I have come to the point I share the idea here from Ox. Simply better to part ways with Watts and reboot.

The real , not suggested improvement always seems a little way away, an iluusion.

And hate to tell you , but often what Roos says isnt actually what hes thinking, its just for [public consumption. You need to decipher Roos-speak

Have said it myself months ago. If I was offered pck 20 I would take it.

Ive never understood the comparisons.

[ManDee 7,134]

Here are some names to ponder,

Jack Leslie

Timothy Broomhead

Hayden Crozier

Jayden Pitt

Nathan Fyfe

Tom Swift

The last six pick 20 in the draft. Other than Fyfe would you swap Watts for them?

[ManDee 7,134]

I compare him to Nic Nac for obvious reasons. I compare Nic Nat to other ruckmen.

you assume we would HAVE to use the pick....its currency. So who knows how you might play it......just saying

[ManDee 7,134]

Yes, but the currency of pick 20 is what you get. And my list shows you what you get for pick 20.

[jazza 1,323]

No it doesnt,it shows a list of players.

Nobody knows what is the going rate in a moving market.

PR is the best in the bizz at making trades.

Please no JW comparisons,its a market based on here and now.

Applied for it saty.

Didnt get the job,told to get a private schoolboy education and to wear a tie before re-applying.

[ManDee 7,134]

The value of pick 20 IS pick 20.

You may trade it, you may pool it with other picks You can do with it what you wish, but the end of the day its value is pick 20. Someone will eventually use it and guess what they will get? Yes that's right PICK 20.

To get more than its value is to presume that another team will pay overs for it. And the last time I looked pick 20 was not a huge bargaining chip.

that is a vacuous statement at best. what are you actually saying ? Try addressing the comment . Its currency...now its you turn

[beelzebub 23,364]

put pick 20 together with a player or another pick..and the dynamic changes....muchly

Personally I wouldn't trade Watts, true he frustrates every supporter in some way, but I equate him to Brendon Goddard (used to bring at ST Kilda supporting acquaintance of mine to tears on a regular basis), he is getting there, (whoops hit the post key too quick).....Roos seems content with the direction Watts is heading so all this talk of trade etc seems mute

As you say Saty he frustrates the crap out of me however Roos gives no indication of anything but support.

This time next year might be different as he will be heading towards FA.

I will be very surprises if he is traded at the end of this year.

interesting comparison , Goddard that is. were you able to guarantee a similar outcome , i.e same change in demeanor and output ( ne effect ) then wonderful. I Dont recall Goddard ever being about to be bounced around as such just that he was lazy and half hearted at times. Happy to be corrected

Every single one of these players have been in the system for at least a year and have offered less than Watts, can we please move on from this conversation... he's going nowhere.

And don't give me the currency comment. We're going to have plenty of high draft picks to work with this year.

Name the last coach to publicy NOT support a current player on his list.?
