2 games is 8 points. When all the others froze and went into their shells.

How about Hannans 18 quiet games.?

Frosts dogs?

Lewis' nonentities/stupid suspension

Hogans lack of effort/nothing games

Vinces' turnovers resulting in losses

Tom Macs terrible days?

Jetts 9-12 touch games for 7 years

Gawns shockers?

Petraccas  cameos/disappearing act.

Dysons pinpoint opportunity passes?

You don't trade the most accurate set shot in the competition for a second round pick who will never win you a game.

mate you need to be held accountable for your dribble. all of those players have a crack for our club. sure they play poor games but they put their head over the footy and go when its their turn.  thats what separates jack from the rest. he is not only weak physically and gets pushed off the ball too easily but he doesnt tackle with intent. his one handed tackling efforts are a disgrace and in 9 years i dont recall him going back with the flight of the ball once. im just glad other supporters agree and more importantly the melbourne fc.

    History is abundant with these examples. It's just an absolute [censored] comment and completely disrespectful to our coach.

    I guess he'd prefer Garry Lyon was pulling the strings, maybe he could land us another Neeld 

    Don’t forget Luke Beveridge to Bulldogs

    We are going to get peanuts for Watts. I'm not pleased about that.

    I could stomach trading Jack for a fair return, but we aren't going to get that.

    There’s obviously more to the story than what we’re privy to, unfortunately we’ll most likely never find out. 

    Unless we kidnap and waterboard Goody.

    Im still a bit unsure about Goodwin but he does not strike me as one who would give up information under any circumstances. Think you would need to plan for the long haul.

    It still rather bemuses me that so many have yet to twig what this has been about.

    The MFC don't care about any value for this trade. They've always been prepared to take chump change dressed up as some 'dowery'.

    Smell the flowers folks.... It's just been about pushing Jack out the door.

    Classy.

    I call BS. Its Jacks call and always has been. He is under contract. If he stays and tries to perform at the expected level he will be putting himself under pressure to perform consistently. Has he go the cojones to do that?

    We'll see.

    He went to the Zoo, or Port Adelaide (same thing).

    So why wouldn't Jack choose Sydney? I mean if he ends up interstate....nice beaches, close to Byron, out of the spotlight even more so than Adel, better weather.....why would he not choose Sydney and the Bloods culture I wonder.....?

    Hey Biff. I assume you're old, so maybe you can help me? Why are a bunch of the older members of Demonland so keen on Watts? I thought you'd all have had enough by now, and be beyond the seduction of golden curls? 

    You don't send a boy on a man's errand.....

    Port is the only club that has offered him a new three year deal

    Cats offered two on vastly reduced terms

    Sydney I suspect was the same

    And how do you know this?

    Just read that Dees would entertain pick 30 & 33 for pick 45 and Watts. To sweeten the deal, Dees would pay some of Watts salary in 18&19. 

    Really? This shows how desperate we are to offload Wattsy. 

    He must done some despicable acts and we must desparately need to free up salary cap room. 

    A bitter and unsavoury outcome for a very popular and loyal player.

    Can't remember which thread I posted it in, but I said that Steve Hocking is the new CEO Football of the AFL and the inference was that they will be looked after.

    I can see them jumping back in after Stringer now.

    They said they wouldn't give 34 to us for Watts and they clearly won't give 20 or 21.

    They either offer 21 to Dogs for Stringer or give 34 to Suns for Ablett and keep 20 and 21.

    I think the other clubs will be pretty angry about this.

    I just wonder what REALLY happened. 

    I don’t believe any of the media.  Something we haven’t been privy to has happened.

    It was Mad Monday. Goodwin had some melanotan left over from his Essendon days. It's the drug that gives you a fake tan and a three day .... erm ... let's just say something that gives you "performance". He opened the cupboard and found Watts had stolen his stash.
    "Jack, what did you do with my mellies?"
    "Your what? I thought they were eccies!"
    "You stupid bugger! Give 'em back!"
    "I can't! I don't have 'em. I sold them down the nightclub."
    "You what! They were my last ones!"
    "Sorry coach."
    "Hand it over."
    "Hand over what?"
    "What you got for them. Hand it over."
    "I can't exactly ... hand it over ..."
    "Listen f**ker. Whatever you got for those drugs, give it to me. Right now. Or you're out the door."
    "Well ... okay ...."
    "Well!? Hurry up!"
    "Alright. Undo your belt."

    The rest is history.

    I remember reading that post of yours and agreeing at the time, my hatred for AFL continues

    That would be good for us.

    Obviously we are confident of a later pick for Balic.

    Might have someone else in mind and hence the need for picks and salary cap room.

    Could be an interesting 5 days ahead for us.

    We have picked up the best player to change clubs.

    Not too bitter and unsavoury if Jack keeps his $500k per year and gets another year added.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
