Jack Watts has become our key play maker. His decisions and delivery are just magnificent.

With so much inexperience in the side, someone with watts poise and disposal is so important. never will be the contested beast but we dont need that from him. Clearly a better player when we are winning the contested ball which this year we have been. 

I have little doubt the club will secure his services but gee his link up play across half forward is vital for the team going fwd. possible the best set shot in the league, and rarely stuffs up a possession. 

Hogan is important obviously but dont underestimate watts future contribution to the clubs chances.

So underrated it's beyond belief. More important yes. No he has not re-signed to the best of my knowledge and is a free agent I believe.  Let's get it done ASAP.

I would love to see Jesse Hogan do extra goal kicking sessions with Jack Watts, if Jesse could convert with the same efficiency as Wattsy he would be the best forward in the comp.

Both are, really.  When Dawes, for example, comes back into the side then Watts becomes a very dangerous third tall.  

Nev is clearly our best backman at the moment, and he is able to play both tall and small.  

Both are crucial signings for us going forward.

Watts is playing very good football. Is he the MOST important... I'm not so sure. He's certainly in the top three.

T. McDonald, Jetta, and Trengove (yes Trengove) are more important.

McDonald's and Jetta's ability to shut down players is essential. If the club is able to acquire a second tall and ready to go defender (like Hurley) Tom's game should go to another level. Without either the team would have immense trouble controlling opposition forwards of both tall and small.  

 

Trengove:

With the way the game is going, it's suggested that there will be a smaller interchange cap which will tire players quicker and slow down games.

Trengove has stated in a recent interview that he likes this concept as it's more suited to his style (he's an endurance machine).

Early in his career his talent and potential were incredibly exciting, I considered him more exiting than I do now for Brayshaw, but after suffering an injury and forcefully playing through it he began to slow (literally), stop developing, and almost have his career cut short.

Now that he's on the mends I think he still has plenty to offer, and could possibly thrive with the interchange cap. 

His upside vastly outweighs his current market value and subsequent trade options.

 

As for Watts, he does have a lovely kick for goal and does find himself in good position up forward, I just wish he crashed the contest a little more. Without a doubt I would like to see him re-signed it just depends on the price he's asking.

i wouldn't say jetta plays tall, that's stretching it. maybe he plays taller than he looks but not to the extent he can play on a tall (189+cm)

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
