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?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
