So what you're saying is we can start player bashing threads based on a misleading headline and that's totally ok?

That's exactly what I said.

Can't believe you've been back on the boards for about an hour and already I'm deleting your posts...

Edit: Back on topic please

The "sodd off then" part of the thread title is unnecessary.  At no point in the article did Watts say he wanted to leave and, in fact, spoke very strongly about staying.  The article title might have been misleading but BA gives the impression that Watts wants out, which is totally untrue.

Not sure this post gave you the credibility you would have hoped for in dismissing your Watts bias.

So personal digs are allowed on Demonland now if they're from a mod?

That's very disturbing. I held hopes you were taking the pizz.

Anyone know how the re-signings of Tyson, Garlett, Kent and Jetta are going? Or are they all going to wait for the new CBA agreement?

Not always but in your case we'll make an exception.

Please stick to the rules and stop aggravating everyone else if you still want to be seen in the first half of the season.

I may have a different take to some, but I have no doubt that the club has no intention of busting a gut to re-sign him until they're convinced he can take his game consistently to another level.

He's started well, but won't want a dip in form or efforts in the contest.

It was clear in the article that he's not taking it for granted that the club will want to re-sign him. 

That should make you happy, surely!

I'd agree with the poster who said that if the club wants him, he'll re-sign, and if it doesn't want him, or if they tell him he should look around, he'll explore free agency. If the club wants him, he won't leave. The only negotiation is his value. Which, as he also realises, is largely up to him.

Which should also make you happy.

I'm fairly sure that the AFL media department essentially run as an independent entity within the AFL. 

Therefore they're no better than anyone else. 

It's a bogus attempt to justify them as promotion instead of league run and to deflect blame for when they [censored] off the clubs (or the league itself). 

They are paid for by the league and it's such a waste of money. The clubs could do their own promotion much better and the clubs, junior development or just giving it to the players would be a better way to spend the money.

I discussed this thread with relevant posters, and told the usual suspects to just ignore me once they started harassing again.

The response has been personal insults from moderators. How is this ok? Incredibly poor form.

[Whispering_Jack 29,758]

What is wrong is your propensity to make every thread about yourself.

We're not interested.

Now for the last time ... please stay on topic.

Article of AFL app states Watts was keen to be part of Melbourne's future but wants to explore his free agency options. Here's an idea, try performing consistently for, I don't know let's say 3 games in a row. Sorry Jumbo but Watts your free to go, you can take Grimes and Garland with you. Then and only then will the list be fully turned over.

If you look at the interview, what he actually said is he "wouldn't want to be anywhere else."

Such click bait, reading the article says more about him wanting to stay at Melbourne. Typical whirlwind in a tea cup when it comes to everyone's favourite whipping boy 

He's not my favourite whipping boy.

I rate him. Have always wanted him to play his entire career at this club.

Your assertion is inaccurate.

I'd love Watts to have his best year, kick 30+ goals and become a dangerous roaming tall that can help this club win a premiership.  

It's a make or break year and while I genuinely expect it to be his best I'm not confident he can consistently elevate his game.  It's all between the ears, so I remain hopeful.

The intent he's showed in the first two practice games is a minimum benchmark for Watts.

I think he'll have a cracker year, re-sign and ultimately be a one club player.

Hows he going to go when the opposition is really hard at it I wonder. 

One handed show pony,but he looks great on footy cards and is so hot these last two (thats 2) weeks thatthey have him back on the TV news.....good old MFC management

I really like how you edited your post for spelling and deliberately misspelt spelling. At least i hope it was deliberate.

Note: the quote is IRW not ProDee (he would neither make a joke or misspell a word). Weird stuff happening on DL
