Jobe Watson's future after 2016

Jobe Watson may look elsewhere for 2017

 

Gablettjnr is the same age, 31yrs...  to me a direct swap of the 2 players between the Suns & Bummers.   Jobe helps steer the Suns to a brighter future.  GAblett flies in to prey for the bummers resurrection.

 

any thoughts?

How many warning points is this worth I wonder :huh:

I think Jobe is gone. The flame has gone out. Age and injury wise he is near the end and he will not get any quicker. More importantly, all the suggestions are that his heart is not in it anymore. I think Jobe Is decent human being and he was a very good footballer before the drug scandal. For Jobe and others it was all so unnecessary and they were coerced into the injection regime by a man that was obsessed by winning and doing whatever it takes. But Jobe and others could have said "no" but they didn't. Like the rest of the  gang they will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Care...?

geez your an angry spiteful little fella aren't you. 

 

your not interested in much at all,  except to spread nausea.  you go out of your way.  you need anger management swyl,  to get over your animus.

Most humans,  if they read something they aren't interested in,  move on to the next article,  but you like to try to make it painful for all.  I thjink you have pent up anger in yourseklf & for others because of your situation.

 

my mother had it way worse than you do, even to the point of being pushed around the streets by brothers in a wheel barrow..  as a teenager entering womanhood.. swuyl go visdit a anger management group before you get too old for it, and before you can't change anymore. they can help.

This captures the whole sorry saga in four lines.

And I agree - he's done.

 

Needs to apologise for his role in the drugs saga (aware or unaware he was responsible and a leader during the fiasco),  give back his medal and announce he's won't be playing at Windy Hill in 2017.

Then he'll rediscover his mojo.

If he did that, I'd have him at Melbourne.

He was doing a bloody good impression of someone who was training to get back to AFL last week.

I reckon he'll keep training until the appeal result is in. If the appeal is unsuccessful (fingers crossed), I expect him to pull the pin.

Watson will not go to another club and Ablett will not go to Essendrugs, where the frick did you even pull that suggestion from!?  Why wouldn't Ablett go to Carolton to pull them out of the crap storm they face?  Really suggestions like these, and your scatter brain posts, is the reason i skip over most of your crap.

Oh you mena the guy who they have named their player development academy after?? bwahhahahahahahah

You can strip my titles but I still have my dignity  Lance Armstrong

Why does anyone care about Jab ? Until he hands back his Charlie hes just a fraudulent cheat. The AFL know but are to gutless to act.

Happy for the whole of Windy Hill to be swalllowed in a sinkhole.

I'm pizzed off we even have that other bloke ffs...let alone this cheat

 

End thread for mine..

Absolutely

people have said Watson is a nice honest guy

He is actually a cheat. The Captain of a cheating Club & the recipient of a Brownlow Medal won under fraudulent conditions..

no time for him or his father...

The little tag that lies alongside the thread title says he is a leader.

Pretty weak leadership when he wouldn't / didn't question what was obvious to blind Freddie a shonky exercise (at best) in human experimentation.

I wouldn't want his near MFC and certainly never as any sort of leader.

geez your ...

That diatribe was the reason that a) it is always worth re-reading your posts before hitting the submit button and b) there is a private messaging system on Demonland. 

Totally uncalled for in the public forum and worthy of an apology I would have thought.  Sorry DL, but that's just how I see it.

you may be right re going to Essendon,  but I think the Suns would like to be free of him with the culture issues they have developed,  issues on many different angles,  so opposing sides within the club it seems.   They need all going in one direction, the clubs choice, football direction.

 

I for one would not like the AFL to lose a player of Jobe Watson's caliber,  even if he did go the wrong direction, under expectation of his leaders.

The Suns do need strong leaders of which Jobe has shown onfield to be.

 

Gablett is from what I hear a distraction,  & a suitable trade IMO would benefit both clubs. & all involved.   even if he went to the Blues in a 3way trade?

So GCS would get rid of a distraction, in Ablett a 2 times Brownlow medalist and a clear drug record, and replace him with Watson, a confirmed drug cheat that won a brownlow while taking said drugs, to solve their drug problem?

Or is the distraction when he isn't playing?  If that were the case, that would mean they are too distracted by the fact he isn't out there winning games for them, i can see how that's a distraction.

DL it's getting harder and harder to read what you put out there, can you please start actually reading then contemplating what you have written before submitting your posts/threads, you are fast approaching the ignore button, and that would mean you would be the first on my list.

Yes,  I think gablett is distracting the players,  outside of footy.   the club needs to be rid of distractions.

 

Jobe is only doing what was expected of him from his club, via the coaches & leadership with the Docs backing to that point.  I don't excpect the players to understand fully what was going on from the start.  so a follow the leader goes on.

 

the leaders being club official coaches & x coaches & doctors.

 

So with Jobes penalty behind him next year,  he should get another go,  somewhere,, IMO.   He won't be hung-out like hird,  for doing as requested by his superiors.  he is a good leader of young players  & has a couple of years left in him at the right club.  especially a club which has gone off the rails,  off field.

 

Jobe is a great example to show them the right pathway.  as would Josh Kennedy from swans.

 

The Suns will be better off with a fresh start,  so trading Gablett would help refresh the culture there.  I think Eade would jump at the right offers.

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
