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?

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


 

*Why ?

Geez u have a lot of crapola after your posts Dee-luded.

It makes me dizzy!

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.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
