how about all the excusers for laziness, & 'the me generation', take the next 5 years off, & let this club grow some, before they get back from holidays.

Hey who do you think raised the 'me generation?' As I recall it was you bunch of backwards, misogynists, racist, grumpy old men. (talking generally about your generation not about you)

    Guilty as charged.

    I'd happily trade Watts. He's the poster boy for this clubs years of ineptitude. It would almost provide "clean air" as we move forward.

    Will it happen ? No.

    Supporters carry on about his skill and decision making etc, but it's vastly overrated. His total package is "ordinary".

    And what does that tell you about your opinion vs that of a premiership coach?

    Why does there even need to be 15 pages of discussion about a player we have discussed for 1000 pages since he was drafted?

    I'm surprised there is anything left to discuss.

    Very popular with the player group and coaching fraternity like his skill set!

    And Yep, count me as a fan!

    Although I must say he does frustrate on occasion!

    Has shown definite improvement this year ,without a doubt!

    It's pretty bloody self explanatory ..if you don't like discussing the topic...then don't read it and don't comment on it...there are topics that I don't even bother looking at....

    I for one will be discussing Jack Watts until the day he is delisted or seriously changes the way he plays...

    How wonderful for you. You go right ahead and talk about the same things over and over and over again until he isn't at the club anymore. I mean, people have been doing it for years, so why stop now?

    Knock yourself out.

    Or until he lifts his work ethic to the standard of Jesse Hogan.

    So you will only bother talking about Watts when it's something negative? Not happy to praise him when he plays positively?

    Classy.

    Actually the difference between JW and HL is in the disposals. Both work as hard as Jesse but HL is a liability with his disposals whilst JW is elite (most of the time)!

    And yet you can still manage to comment time and time again.

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
