To lose someone who finished fourth in our best and fairest

He didn't finish 4th, it was 5th, and he won't go near that this year (and not only because of the game he missed either).

Stop kidding yourselves about how fabulous Watts is. Yes, he can be ... sometimes. He can also play so poorly he gets dropped to the seconds. He plays and trains well when he feels like it.

It's clear that the club - from the players to the FD - have had enough.

Much amused by the rising anti-Goodwin sentiment regarding a potential Watts trade. Some of the same folk who backed Neeld's tough-guy act on arrival. Imagine if Watts had asked Simon to be demoted to the VFL like he did with Roos? I don't think that would play with Simon.

I back anyone who represents the club to do the best they can at all times. I don't agree with the Watts trade, but i'll still back Goodwin. However i think it's going to be something many Melbourne fans will have against Goodwin if it's the wrong call.

Rumour I heard yesterday from a guy who has a good track record is that we have asked the question on kade Kolodjashnij as an outside midfielder. 

I really rate him as a player and very much hope he’s on the money here. 

Excellent disposal. I thought he would be destined for big things, but he has not delivered on his talent yet. 

Has played his entire career on the half back flank. I doubt he would come cheap (trade wise)

How will we determine if it's the right or wrong call?

Jack's performances at his new club and how much we will lack a tidy player in a Jack Watt mold?

Its the right call.

Irrelevant what he does a his new club, he has to go.

If his performances at his current club were up to scratch we wouldn't be having this discussion. If he plays better elsewhere, some of us might be correct in suggesting he never put in enough with us and it was time for him to go. See Jeremy Howe.

From my prespective Jack's performances are still good enough for our best 22. Judging his year after a couple bad weeks coming back from injury is stupid.

He has been inconsistent for 7 years and came back out of shape at the start of season

I disagree, i think his 2016 and 15 were good. This year it was dissapointing how it started, but i think he got back into the swing of things before his injury.

 

EDIT: I should add, no player plays perfect for 22 games. 2016 Jack was a big part of our forward line.

Apparently Jarman Impey was dancing with Melbourne players in the footy show revue, which obviously means nothing much, but he is on the trade table according to rumours and matches our need for pace and could release Hunt or Hibberd to play higher

It was Impey, Nev Jetta, Varcoe and SPS dancing to Boom! Shake the room.

Going by Demonland logic, that means Impey, Varcoe and SPS are a chance to play for Melbourne next year!  Quick, someone email Jon Ralph with the news!

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
