Well, it's an auspicious dropping... It is obviously a message and an indication. BUT I want value, you don't build lists by just getting rid of talent - however unrealised that talent is. Sylvia g

I am almost certain Watts will be on our list next year, further that he will continue to cement himself as a top 22 player. Statistically he has had a good year, even taking into consideration his p

The sad part of of this saga is that his critics talk like he is a monster, a law breaking fiend. They are not supporters of the MFC but arrogant critics who lack football knowledge. Jack has had a go

They want to give him an opportunity to dominate for casey in big finals games???

Is he eligible apart from this week?

He can play this week because MFC still have a game, but after that he needs to have played 5 VFL games but has only played 1.

M Jones is a list clogger and has battled for games all year. Jack has been one of our best and most consistent performers. I don't see it as exactly the same at all.

I'm not necessarily saying that I think he will be traded, I'm just interested in why, and that no reason was mentioned.

all i'm saying is that "omitted" with no noted injury is not unusual

it just means for form/team balance by default

jones was not omitted for the crime of "list clogging" it was just presumably for performance and watts presumably similarly

naturally, i'm a little surprised why watts was omitted too, and curious of the reasons, but there isn't necessarily any thing odd or sinister by lack of public explanation

as chook and bbo says, there has been quite a few unexplained, strange selections/omissions this year, but we are not privy to personal goals set by the coaches for each player

Watts is like any other player, he will be traded if the price is right.

Way too rational a post for Demonland.

He is just a fringe player that got dropped. Not even thread worthy.

Yeah a fringe player that's played 20 of 22 games so far...

Well there goes that theory, thought I was very clever!

Yeah, he's not a fringe player. He's a best 22, but as Clint said, he is tradeable if the right offer comes about. I'd say he could be packaged with a pick.

Reality is Watts is skillfull , great kick etc... But poor second effort, want put body on line if it's a 50/50 ball... Not an A grader...

You either that type of player or your not & all clubs have them... If they do a trade & MFC get what they want & vice versa that's great...

Trading players whilst they have currency is smart & that's the footy world now days....

He was omitted. It says it in big letters right after his name on the team sheet.

Not was not rested, not managed, and is not sick. He was dropped.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
