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.

Watts on in the first?

So who's on in the seconds?

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
