Well Mahoney ain't going to come out and say he was shopped but everyone laughed in our face, is he?

 

Waiting for Watts to come good is like waiting for the second coming of Christ. It's never going to happen (i apologise to all believer's for both Watts and Christ). But that's not his problem, he's still gonna get extremely well paid for doing SFA, which will no doubt please both himself and his mummy.

His mummy?

Jeez there are some tools on this site.

and there are some pizz weak players at the Demons...youre point

I have it on good authority that the Dangerfield and Kennedy deals were almost over the line. All we needed was Jack Watts traded for a second rounder to complete the trades, but Roosy got wind of this thread and tore up the contract right before signing it.

No one with any sense of professionalism would say that.

He could simply have repeated the line that everyone was on the table for the right trade. He didn't. He say NO.

Watts has value to this team going forward. And I'm convinced Roos realises that.

Sorry fellas - many of you are completely wrong on this one.
 

Wouldn't have any reservations about that deal. Get it done.

I think Richmond might.

It is not necessary to stoop to derogatory and disrespectful references to players whether you like them or not.

It's says more about the author than the target.

And I'd rather hear intelligent and thoughtful comments about the targets ( the players).

But each to their very own.....

Rarified air up on your horse ?? No one really cares about such pomposity, but they do like to see real endeavor on a football field... Jogging half arsed and falling over doesnt inspire.

I have it on good authority that the MFC are shopping Jack Watts around, with Adelaide and Gold Coast the leading contenders.

I cannot believe we are seriously considering trading Jack.

If the MFC could properly develop Jack he will be an out and out A Grader.

Jack needs to be locked inside a gym for the whole of pre-season and force feed to build his frame.

The only thing Jack needs to be a gun is muscle and strength.

He has elite skills and elite vision.

He needs to be up around the 98 kg mark and he will dominate games as a key mobile forward.

I also have it on good authority that he doesn't want to be traded and that he wants to stay a Demon, unlike others.

As such we need to keep players that actually want to stay at the club, as this may prove difficult moving forward.

I will be furious if we trade Jack against his will when it's been our fault that we haven't been able to properly develop him to his optimum.

Great now we are stuck with Watts. Another year of pea hearted efforts and zero intensity coming up

hope youre happy

You're hardly Einstein picking out a players faults on the field.

It just doesn't need the derogatory references about player no matter how much self fulfilment it must clearly give you.

But as I said each to their own.

A win for the J Watts fans

You some high brow troll

Common sense prevails! Anyone with a tiny amount of football knowledge would not want Jack playing AGAINST us. I wonder how much footy his detractors have played and at what level?

His skills are sublime and he is improving the defensive side of his game. Think of the telling mark in defence when the Bulldogs were within a few points in the last seconds of play last season. Who was in the thick of it in the pack when the Bombers were in attack in the last 20 seconds of this years win?

Nomination for best "Tongue in cheek post for 2014" ^_^ ^^^^^^^

Who DOES Jack actually play "AGAINST" as you put it..... requires contact first

The only common sense was by the other 17 sides in the competition who have shown they understand his real value.....zilch!! Don't quote 5 second involvements in play when he avoids getting involved for the rest of the game.

The opposition see what he is like, their coaches know what he is like and now after this trade period it is blindingly obvious that we couldn't even give him away.

Wait for the delisting at the end of his contract.

It stopped at 14:00 today account lack of interest.

Serious question HH Have you played footy at the highest level? If not, what right have you to criticise those who have? Support your team mate! Get behind the players not bash them.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
