i for one will be disappointed to lose Watts, yes he is hot and cold but i think his kicking in the forward line both at goals and to our players is the best in the team. He obviously has not shone as many would have wanted a number 1 draft pick but I think he provides better value in our forward line than Kent and many others. Part of the problem with Jack is our delivery too him is often not the best, or his leads are not honored.  It will be disappointing to see him putting playing against us.

Rumour going around that its Watts + pick 10 to Collingwood for their pick 6 to on trade to Crows.

If that happens its a 1st and 3rd round pick for Lever, which is fair IMO. (as long as he's not on $900k per year).

The Filth would be laughing at that deal. They get a free player for nothing. 

Let's hope this is no more than a rumour

I thought that we had resolved - NEVER DEAL WITH COLLINGWOOD.

I don’t like this situation at all. There is a divide within the club..

If it's true it does sound a little like mark neeld. There are literally petitions being sent to the club to keep jack. Especially considering we're unlikely to get much for him

How do you know what we would get? The club may have a very good deal they are working on, I would love to see a player rather than a draft pick unless we can on trade for a quality player

As i said before. The senior coach is putting his balls right on the line. 

If Watts is traded we need a gun in return, otherwise he should be kept. 

I am still angry that Earl Spalding walked for nothing 20 years ago!!

Ditto Ron Barassi. All we got was Vin Catoggiio, about twenty years later.

FMD this club is unbelievable. 

We have just spent the last 3 yrs getting out of the [censored] after being irrelevant for the last 7 yrs prior to this and now in one season in charge Goodwin is doing his best to get us back into it  

Ffs there seems to be no end to the constant bs and dramas. 

I am having less faith in th coach the longer he is in charge.

Didn't work for Trent Croad.

Can't be bothered listening to the podcast, but to be honest it would not surprise me one little bit if we started to stuff things up again off the field. 

We had it good for a few years, let's see if we continue that or implode MFC style.

I really don't give a rats what Roos thinks. He constantly talked about changing the culture on and off the field. Goodwin is taking action and should be applauded.

I seriously can't believe how much people are overrating Watts' importance to the team.

I can deal with losing Watts but to hear there is divide and infighting? Maybe the questions asked of Goodwin are fair? We can't afford anymore of this off field crap, I guy like Lever could pull out or stay away in the future. We need to get this right.

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
