GAME DAY - Round 7

[Bobby McKenzie 2,407]

I hate it, he's not good enough, he was going to be dropped anyway. He might have got in first before Roosy gave him the bad news. Watts will be lucky to get back in the team and today Hawthorn would have made him look like a girl.

Your hatred of Jack Watts is so sad. And you claim to be a Melbourne supporter? Support your players mate!

What do you suppose you look like, using such language?

[Bobby McKenzie 2,407]

Howe will play forward today

Currently kicking for goal

Did he kick it Jaded?

[Earl Hood 6,152]

Sitting in the Southern working on my suntan. The sun is blinding so hopefully I won't see much of the game. I think we will be lucky to kick three goals with this lineup!

[Lucifers Hero 40,564]

Roos just said on MMM that Watts asked to be dropped this week as he feels he has been letting the team down in recent weeks. He has his haters but I reckon that is pretty honourable by Jack

Edit spelling

You wonder why the coaching panel 'agreed' to drop Jack, given they had doubts about Hogan's fitness. A pep talk from the coaches to Jack about how much the team needed him might have been the incentive he needed. It worries me, since when do players call the shots.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Who's the [censored] who thought Freo/Syd/Haw was a great successive run to give us at the start of the season?

Talk about completely destroying any confidence we gained against Richmond/Gold Coast (especially now they've been proven fairly inept by other teams).

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Did he kick it Jaded?

He nailed some pretty good shots.

You wont find anyone who does not like Jack Watts the person, that has never been questioned

Yes it is sad, but it's a physical rough game and he is too scared to get his hair messed up. He is in the wrong sport.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,289]

Glad I'll be watching from the luxury of the manor.

Apparently Jack Watts rates himself so highly that he decides when he plays and when he doesn't, bloody joke!

Far out that is pathetic from Watts if true. Asking to be dropped, has anyone ever done that before? No competitive footballer with any self respect would do that.

Just give it away jack.

I bet he's played 100 more AFL games than you.

[Wilson7 2,689]

c'mon demons, hoping for a competitive effort

[deanox 10,057]

7 of our "best 22" missing, 9 of you include petracca and Trengove, 10 if you include Jamar.

Our list doesn't run that deep that we can afford to have players 25-32 and not get belted.

[P-man 13,367]

Now would be a good time to pray, ladies and gents.

Only Yze from memory

no Hogan? replaced by Pedersen? jesus christ

this will be a snoozefest

[Wilson7 2,689]

no Hogan? replaced by Pedersen? jesus christ

this will be a snoozefest

Was hoping for Gawn

[Meggs 598]

I'm at the ground listening to the roars as the teams came on. I think they forgot to advertise the game, nobody here, no atmosphere at all except really loud music.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,274]

no Hogan? replaced by Pedersen? jesus christ

this will be a snoozefest

Or a boozefest?

[McQueen 17,867]

Now would be a good time to pray, ladies and gents.

Or to start drinking...

In contrast to Adelaide/Saints game. Packed house and Saints doing real well.

[red and blue forever 1,073]

exciting isn't it!!

[Lucifers Hero 40,564]

Garry Lyon just suggested anyone in the players rooms should give Jesse a wide berth as he is like a bear being stalked.

I think he wanted to play
