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.

Maybe he put his hand up to let somone else get a gig?


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.

Someone on Facebook saying Jones is out for surgery for Sunday's game?

Watts coming in?

* Who's coming in.

Watts on in the first?

So who's on in the seconds?


So who's on in the seconds?

I don't know.

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....

Watts on in the first?

whos on first

would not be surprised if watts still has the flu from a couple of weeks ago,along with jones and vince whose form dropped off about 3 weeks ago,I have it for weeks and not get rid of it

I'm on day 18 with it, have never in my life experienced a flu like it


whos on first

Too late, already posted.

 

*Why ?

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.

  • 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.
