Nathan Jones is part of the agenda of a clique at Melbourne to push Jack on.

That and of itself is one thing, that Jack may move on, that he should move on or that he may need to move on  etc.

Its another thing to keep pushing the barrow ( at any opportunity ) and reveal your colours. Some would say they are pure Red and Blue.  Some might say the very same for Jack Watts

You talk absolute drivel sometimes, 'bub.  The above is based on nothing.  Jones didn't push any agenda - he was asked one question about Watts and answered it honestly.  Jones didn't bring it up, the media did.  Stop making up conspiracy theories.

Agree, its hard to discern the full dialogue between the players in this saga, with public comments we hear, and undoubtedly many private, comments, meetings, etc... 

I know from working in the corporate sphere, when you let someone go, they've generally had several warnings, notifications, etc... before the axe falls. I've no doubt the FD have done likewise with Jack.

and sometimes someone just wants to axe someone who doesnt fit their 'world view"

If youve been around...youve seen this Im sure.

Try getting some actual facts.  You know what's going on behind closed doors?  No?  Didn't think so, son.

Then he's not off-field Captain material.

In your opinion.  This situation has always been in Jack's hands.  Jones didn't throw him under a bus, nor did he pot him.  

I love how we're looking at anyone to have a go at so you guys can make yourselves feel better about the situation.  Many of you continue to miss the point entirely - if Jack had done what was asked of him, then we wouldn't be in this situation.  Simple.

Please say that you are staying Jack, this thread is wearing me very thin.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course it's my opinion.  Whose else's since I posted it?

I maintain you could be solidly in the keep Watts camp and still say Jones did not respond properly when interviewed.  He is never particularly good in the media, but knowing how to deal with curly questions is an important part of a Captain's role these days.

Pro/anti Watts is a  totally separate issue from Jones' interview technique.

Of course you could be, but I'm not one of them.  The question wasn't a curly one, nor did he answer it poorly.  We're just looking for something to complain about.

Agree with WB here.  Nothing to see about a Jones or any players conspiracy v Watts

I agree with wat U r saying cards but I’m just sic of seeing other teams go past us. 

Its bloody frustrating that it happens season after season. 

In want us to be that team for once. 

But have they buddy? I've said it a couple of times this season, hearing PJ and Mahns speak we are now a destination club. Agents call us and offer players to play at MFC, they don't laugh when Mahns calls them, they call us.

We then choose the players we want as long as we are happy to pay the $ they are after.

The players mentioned play well every week? Dont have weaknesses?  Are you watching or dreaming? You can give your all and play a bad game application is part of the equation . 

I never said players don't have weaknesses. Don't make stuff up because it suits you.

The players I mentioned give their all every time they run on to the ground. Did you want to dispute that?

Same can't be said for Jack.

I honestly thought you were taking the p izz... you were serious with that clique comment?!

The  fact that we are 120 pages of discussion, much of it hysterical and based on little is telling. 

About whether  to keep or trade an outside flanker.

It says a lot about us as a supporter group.

Anxious, fearful, neurotic.

This is not how good clubs operate.

Currently trailing the Lever thread by 20 pages, but this one will easily pass it once its announced Watts is gone.

I am looking forward to the hilarious meltdowns.
