Wow way to slag off your own players, ever heard of being a "supporter"

Didn't you read the rules Gonz ? For some It's ok to bag the crap out of every other Melbourne player or coach unless his name is Jack Watts.

Before today I have never taken pen to paper to discuss a potential trade but the thought of Melbourne trading Jack Watts has me both livid and incredulous. I'll briefly outline my reasons why:

I just want to say that Jack did not come back to pre season under done, in fact he came back in the same shape as 2016 which was good, he had a great year. His 3 k time trial was his best ever, you c

I'd also like to say that although I have come across as very "anti-Watts" to some on here, if things turned out that no suitable trade could be agreed on and he ended up staying on the list next year I wouldn't be upset.

Seems an extremely unlikely occurrence given whats in the public domain however stranger things have happened.

You have not come across that way Gonzo. I feel the same way as you, if we can't get a decent trade for Watts i'm good with keeping him but some of the uninformed vitriol aimed at Goodwin is bordering on the ridiculous.

You are either showing your age or your emotional maturity - no player has copped more than Jack Watts on this board or with MFC fans.

Could Wattsy be on the outer, and  Lever coming in, be part of a move to have T Mac playing forward permanently next year? I think there was talk of us acquiring another experienced mid - would that mean Petracca playing up forward more too?

 

If that's the idea, and then I think we should trade Watts for sure. Sounds like he needs a fresh start to reinvent himself (who knows - he could get home sick and come back in a few years? :rolleyes:), and T Mac seemed to relish playing forward (so much so that when he went back again he didn't play like he normally would - maybe he needs to be reinvented as well and going forward is his tonic?). T Mac and Petracca floating in our forward line would be dangerous.

seems like he doesn't want to get out of his comfort zone and that living in Melbourne is a priority over footballing opportunity.

Firstly, he'll have intel from his manager, or directly himself that Victorian clubs are interested... secondly I feel as though your statement about him not wanting to get out his comfort zone is not warranted - surely the bloke is allowed to have priorities when it comes to location around family/friends ongoing business post football - just like many other footballers, or anyone else in middle class australia who has the fortune to pick and choose. God...I don't want to work in Karatha even though there are options there...

What a surprise. That watts just enjoys the lifestyle and not the pursuit of achieving the ultimate.

I'm starting to lean against bust and wouldn't be surprised if he decides to stay.

Correct. My mistake. I did mean player

Sorry,

I was just noting that while Goodwin was a much decorated player his leadership skills are untested.

Actually, he has a very similar career path to Buckley:  A driven, much decorated player, had a few years as Ass coach, understudy to Premiership coach.  Inherited a talented team as Senior coach.

Hopefully, that is where the comparison ends and we have that elusive success.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
