It seems that every player on the list can be out of form, or injured, or tired.....if it's JW, he's soft, won't put in, doesn't apply himself....

Whatever.

OK...the Elephant in the room rises and trumpets " how many players have self dropped BECAUSE they felt the 1sts wasnt for them that week ?"

What's that about then ?

 

yeah we need more contributions like the one you've just made you muppet

Your contributions are so sensitive, insightful and endearing.

Where would DL be without your offerings?

It was so refreshing to hear Hogan said his number 1 goal is not to get dropped. You can tell he has that fierce determination and hard attitude to succeed.

Compare that to Watts who dropped himself......
 

Jack is Jack and i wish him well personally, but at Melb my ONLY consideration is the plus or minus he (or anyone ) us to the team.

i have concerns.I think he may also

Roos applauded him for doing so. Roos selected him the next week and played perhaps the best block of games in his career. But I guess you know best

I reckon that is plain silly. A first year player is likely to say what Hogan said. We don't know the exact details of Watt's asking to be dropped, but it is equally plausible to consider his actions as showing leadership and putting the team first. Maybe more than equally.

Not heard of Roos-speak ?

Btw...same bloke who blamed our negativity !!

Hogan is NOT a 1st year player. Hes had to overcome a bit just to get going.

He seems pretty together.

That's being pedantic. The point is that it was the first year he was playing FCS.

Lol.. Because we all know Roos is honest in front of the screen.

Plays a straighter bat as you could ever see.

Such a ridiculous statement.

Its so far from the truth that even your not that stupid to believe that.

point of order

Not 1st year with AFL

He is totally aware of expectations. Would have been 2nd year but fir injury.

His mental strength is everything this discussion is about.

Agreed..1st full year playing.. well fmd.. wins rising star

Watts ?

Hey BB, didn't see you replied to me. You well?

We'll never know the reason why he dropped himself.....mental exhaustion? I still think he's in the best 22.

Gee, Jack Watts threads escalate to personal attacks quickly.

Lol.. Because we all know Roos is honest in front of the screen.

Plays a straighter bat as you could ever see.

If he had a problem with it he would have left him in the twos. He didn't. Go figure.

Watts ?

If your Aunt had balls...

He's a first year player. Which bit of the definition don't you get? He has never played in the AFL before this year.

Feel free to lay into Watts, but to try to shoe-horn Hogan's statement vs Watt's self-dropping into support of your view of Watts is over the top.

And yes, a player who has never actually played a real AFL game may well say what Hogan said - he may know what is 'expected' but until you do it yourself it may be self-protective to have a modest aim.

I'm more surprised that some haven't said that with Hogan's general swagger and on-field attitude, he couldn't have really meant it - false modesty.

What part? Best 22? I think he is.

Of course he is


What part? Best 22? I think he is.

so being best 22 in a shyte team means you can't be traded

so who does that leave as being tradeable

you do know hes been with us from 2014 ?

Who said anything about best 22 meaning he can't be traded. Pretty hard to trade a player outside our best 22. Hey gws what can we get for McKenzie?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
