And we still don't really know ANYTHING, still conjecture rolled in interpretation.

Many making out they " know" something. 

Another funny thread.

    Those days are long gone ... the media are making this a story and the club is playing a straight bat. 

    Watts is being treated like any other player on the list. 

     

    No, he is not. When others have done the wrong thing off field eg young Oliver they have been named and sanctioned by the club. Even made to apologise to teammates. IF Jack has done something wrong off field then he should have been named and the misdoing stated. Instead, the club cover up by talking vaguely about 'some issues' leaving us all totally in the dark with many false assumptions. Bad form MFC. Come out in the open and let us know what is really going on before things escalate.

    My reading of it is that he's missed out on form Bobby ... and training form does matter. 

    I don't see anything sinister. It's a new year and a new broom sweeps clean.

    All this because he didn't reach a KPI..

    Goodwin has him locked up, poking him with chicken bones to make him angry before he unleashes him for the all important Battle Royale (aka practice match number 3).

    Great to see the club take a hard line with players who aren't giving 100%. even if he is giving 85% and its not obvious. soft clubs let this slide but Goody wants Watts to be a star of the comp not just a good player

    In Watts' defence it does not seem to be in nature to be 100% focused on footy for 11 months of the year. For Viney he eats it up. I haven't seen Viney out partying at 3am 

    Watts will be need to pushed by his coaches and teammates every now and then and it is no big deal.

     

    Have you actually seen Watts out partying at 3 am or are you just relying on hearsay?

    Very true, but I have worries over Mahoneys comment about a "few issues need to be sorted" Bit of cloak and dagger stuff maybe?

    Yeah I've seen him at 3am a few weeks back. Only once though, then again I'm not out at 3am very often

    Watts didn't want to go into detail, but on 7 news mentioned it revolved around training "intensity" issues.

    All this because his heart rate wasn't fast enough during a training session. 

    At training, there are 2 fixed cameras, two roving cameras, the players wear GPS, there are approximately 8 coaches at any one time, who are all linked by mobile radio, there is nowhere to hide at training

    Also saw the interview. Pretty cut and dry now. It's about intensity and Goodwin is not letting Jack fall into his old habits. No more speculation needed.

    I bumped into Jack this morning at the agora and asked him about the meaning of life and his reply was “When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass”

    And if you're a coach, you need to know how to motivate different types of players. Every coach knows how to motivate a "hard-nut" - in fact, you can do just about anything. But how you motivate a player like Watts is not how you motivate a "hard nut". Roos knew that, and got the best out of Watts.

    Whatever way we want to describe these types of players (Warrior spirit?), one thing is for sure, these players are worth their weight in gold.  They have to be top-line footballers as well of course.  

    It can't be taught and it can't be coached either ... in fact,  any coach would generally leave these players to their own devices but would know that any instruction would be carried out to the letter.  It's interesting that our 2 captains qualify as absolute proven hardnuts. 

    Jack Watts will get his way into the senior team and when he does,  he'll know that he'll need to perform well to stay in the side.

    Good teams have up to 12-14 players who perform well in 4 out of 5 games or perhaps perform well in 5 out of 6 games.  That's got to be the standard if we're going to contend.

    Well, I understand your sarcasm, but when the club peddles out key criteria and KPI BS, a simple "lacking intensity" would've been nice.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
