dl4e 5,851 Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 We know nothing about him. At this stage pick 66 for a Casey player. That is all you will get with that pick. Hope Goodwin and co can make him a better payer. 1 Quote

Equivalent to hogan in value. Your opinion is clearly based on emotions or you have no idea End i have no emotion for Watts..I have supported the trading of him from the start. I am only concerned about the way we handled the trade and the public declarations and the effect they had on his value. are you daft? I haven't mentioned anything about Hogan being worth anything, because Hogan leaving is FAKE news. We cleared out Watts to free Salary cap for Lever and future re-signings. I know this as FACT. So jump off ya high horse, realise you are not the only one with an 'opinion' who has gathered first-hand facts on this issue. Quote

Everyone draw the curtain and sit alone in the dark!! Huh? read the context of my thread. I wish Balic the best, and us getting him for pick 66 is a good trade for us. But he's going to have to push himself very hard to make the 22, hope he and all our players are putting in every effort to fight to get into the 22, but at this point he has been recruited for midfield depth. My post referred to the stupid 'Will be better than Watts' comment above mine. 1 Quote

In fairness though, the context of the thread is ‘welcome to the Melbourne football club’... why not just write your second paragraph instead of feeding Watts bashers on a Balic thread??

poita 3,944 Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Trade for pick 66 is fair. A one year contract is also fair. Well done to the club for at least getting one deal right this year. 2 Quote

Deemented Are Go! 3,704 Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Is this the first 'Harley' to ever play for the MFC? Welcome, Harley. Let's hope he's a bit of a surprise packet. 1 1 Quote

Jaded No More 68,976 Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Low risk trade, if it works fantastic, if it doesn't, well we took the same punt as we would be had we taken pick 66 to the draft. Nice move given we have so many mid range picks this year we can't even use them all. Welcome Harley and best of luck! 4 1 Quote

Again your comment is not true. Balic may develop a stronger work ethic, he might try harder, he may tackle more than Watts by the end of his career, but trying to compare these players just serves no purpose. Why would someone even want to compare both of these players, different styles, positions, age etc... Balic has played how many games? why would anyone think it worthwhile comparing to Jack Watts except to bash Jack on this board? Using your logic Haydn Crozier will be better than Jake Stringer, why even bother making the comment in the first place? Lets just welcome the player to the list, rather than comparing him to players who aren't on this list anymore! Edited October 18, 2017 by Ouch! Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,548 Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 I like the fact that he's only on a 1 year contract as opposed to the Michie's, Newtons and Riley's of this world that clogged the list for 2-3 years. 1 Quote

His stat-line for that day (in his second game) if anyone is interested: 15 disposals (6 contested), 4 marks, 5 tackles and a goal. Edit: And in his third AFL game (the WA derby): 19 disposals (9 contested), 6 marks, 4 tackles and a goal. Edited October 18, 2017 by Skuit 2 1 Quote
DeeZee 7,496 Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Anyone know what his "personal problems" were? Quote
demonzz 140 Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 that's personal info, but I can tell you he came 3rd in peels b&f, only played 7 games with 6 bog's and he's only 20. 15 1 Quote
