Which season? We're on three and I'd say the first two we're much better ?

Second season & we're all about heads in hat boxes......& yes I've heard the 3'rd ain't easy getting into.

Might be drawing a long bow, but I reckon it's a pretty safe bet that Watts has been dropped given he just posted a live video on Instagram from inside a nightclub.

No he didn't. He posted video from a band playing a concert in a pub like venue. He's not partying or anything, just watching a band play.

This is the reason he gets slammed by everyone for his commitment or lack there of. Misinformation.

If Jack is dropped then we've obviously given up and don't want to play finals. We haven't kicked a decent score in nearly 2 months, and we'd be dropping our second highest scorer of the past two years.

What was Stringer to the bulldogs? I would assume their highest goal scorer of the previous 2 years.

He has been putrid and if he plays this week he owes everyone a giant game.

I'm curious how you were able to decipher that there was a band playing because I couldn't hear or see a band, just people drinking and talking.

I also dont know of many pubs that have disco balls attached to the ceilings...but maybe that's just the pubs I go to..

Personally doesn't worry me what players do in their spare time provided they're at their best on game day, but think it was a pretty unnecessary thing to do from Jack. Like you said, it opens him up to getting "slammed", right or wrong.

Seems to me that it means we DO want to play finals.

Watts has been useless, and has gone back to giving no effort like the old days.  A total passenger the last three weeks.

At least Weideman will crash packs and fly for everything even if hes doing nothing else, and Hannan is already a better than Watts anyway.

Bottom line with Weideman, he needs to contribute, he certainly didn't earlier in the year.

Because his phone was literally focused on a band on a stage for 5+ minutes just now with 2 blokes sitting with beers off to the right hand side.

Hope Jack is playing this weekend. If he's dropped then I give us little chance of winning. With Frost dropped, Tmac heads down back which means it's Jack and Weid up forward. If Jack is out then our finals hopes are dependent on Weid as our sole tall forward. Poor selection and coaching that's the case.

Ah fair enough, I must have only caught the tail end then and not seen that footage.

thanks for clearing that up.

You are assuming Watts is having a la la about his omission by going to a nightclub tonight. 

There is a training session at 9.45am tomorrow and I would be shocked if our players would go to clubs with shiny disco balls and flashy lights on the eve of a main session.

As stated I was possibly drawing a long bow...but the fact is, he is at a club or pub with "shiny disco balls and flashy lights" as you put it.

As Lord Travis said he believes he's not drinking, I was just pointing out what I saw with my own two eyes, unlike you.

I recon a couple of the changes are good because along with Maynard, Weideman, Brayshaw and Stretch, the Maggots will be totally confused to the extent that they will have to pay free kicks to players who don't laugh at them, we will probably go ok.......

You did state about drawing a long bow but you also stated it's a pretty safe bet Watts has been dropped as he just posted a video on instagram from inside a nightclub.

I'm not on instagram and have not seen the video and I do take your word for it which is also backed up by Lord Travis, but,  do you believe the reason he is out posting videos is due to his omission?

I made that statement before Lord Travis said he saw footage that shows Jack wasn't drinking.

The part I saw looked like he was in a nightclub surrounded by friends who were all drinking. Seeing this at 10pm on a Thursday night (before a main training session)...well you know...

Personally, I want him to play. It's been a long and slow week on here but at least we can all agree on one thing and that is we need this one on Sunday.

Gus and Trac starring in a big win in this 'elimination final' will have Saints fans officially slitting their wrists over taking McCartin at pick 1 ahead of them.

Might not be in form but except for maybe an in form Weid for Pederson and Gus for somebody that team last week was definitely our best 22.

Another strange set of selections and let's face it most of Goodwin's left field selections have failed.

Not sure what to say frankly..............

Just on Watts, He has had a bulging disc in his back the last few weeks, which has severely hampered him (as it would anyone).

Hence why he isn't covering the ground as well and therefore playing like shizen.

If Watts is out then Weideman is in.  Our forward line starts looking very inexperienced/B grade with the exception of Garlett.

Our two silkiest players, Salem and Watts would be out and I don't see many clean users on the extended bench. 

Anyone looking at those omissions and our makeshift forward line would think we were tanking rather than playing to make finals!

I just can't let this one go...

Watts had 1g, 10d, 3m and 2t last week.

Pedersen had 1g, 8d, 3m, and 2t

Weideman had 1g, 9d, 3m, and 3t IN THE VFL.

Watts has played some big roles in AFL, this year. Just a few months ago. While Weideman has shown signs, but never consistent and often awol.

How can anyone justify Watts being dropped, for effectively a final. He must be carrying and injury, because it just makes no bloody sense to me.

Watts should've had double those stats.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
