MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 23

Featured Replies

I don't get people on here though.

I saw someone earlier saying they would drop Newton before Watts... yet they are probably the same sort of person who would then come out and complain that Newton only got one game and there is no continuity in the side and blah blah blah.

Does anyone not realise that, possibly, Watts was dropped simply because he was out of form? Perish the thought.

Nah, lets go right over the top with ridiculous speculation that he's been dropped because he is part of some trade deal instead.

Our supporters are too bipolar for their own good.

It would be very surprising to me if this is an 'innocent' dropping, there must be something going on

 

1954 you should support our players not bag them watts has been good this season in a pathetic team why dont you bag jones he has had shocking season

I didn't bag Watts but i don think he is a future champ, let alone our only future champ, in any way. I don't understand why anyone would stop supporting the club over a player being dropped.

hehe this Barney guy is brilliant. Calls Jack Watts our only future champion (yes a player thas done nothing in 6 seasons and never lays a tackle), and then he bags Nate Jones and says hes had a terrible year

Barney keep the laughs coming!

What if we had of dropped anyone else who has played most of the year in the side?

It's speculation at it's most obscene.

fark we can't lose Watts

there are about 3 people on the list with genuine class and he is one of them

He's the classiest player on our list. But he doesn't use it enough, nor consistently - or does the hard stuff.

Roos has eked out a useful season from him - made him look good - and it's time to sell high.

A little birdy said Jack offered up his spot the other day after Cross was sacked, gifting him one last game.

Then why would the club put the word 'omitted' in brackets after his name after he did such an honorable thing?

And no way Cross wasnt going to play

Your trolling skills are beginning to slip, bluey. What happened?

Cross had 39 last week, has played every game this season, no one had to give up their spot for Crossy to play, he was a certain starter and it's certainly not a gift

there are 15 i would let g o before cross

i wonder how many seconds on hi for an 1100 watt microwave to melt a mebership card?

or would a longer slow melt using defrost be a wiser option?

had 7 tackles on the weekend pal

Just maybe, possibly, Watts is injured or ill.

If you know any Richmond or StKilda fans you could ask them.

Anyone want to guess the crowd? Im guessing we will need to write a nice little cheque to etihad.

Actual numbers 8,780

AFL official announcement 14,000 (after scrutiny by the overworked Integrity Department, of course)

I wouldn't suspect we were going to trade Nathan Jones for example. Not many in the 22 have trade value, but Watts does. Many think his preceived value is higher than his actual value. We have already stated outright we are going to be active in this trade period. You don't get quality by trading away Matt Jones. So it is worth a raise of the eyebrow.

So it is worth a raise of the eyebrow.

The "Rock" says hi!

 

If you know any Richmond or StKilda fans you could ask them.

good idea. i could check with the richmond doctor

What ever Jack Watts is worth this year, it is much more than it would be next year in my opinion.

I would be happier keeping Jack Grimes who is about equally effective because Grimes gives it a red hot go.

Watts is worth more on the table though.

Don't be blinded by your own bias against Watts please!

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
