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?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
