    Pick 22? Now they have Pick 19

    Yeah, apparently Port are fuming that the Motlop compo pick will allow Geelong to steal Watts from under their noses .

    19 for Ablett and 22 for Watts

    Yep have also heard this from my spy who fishes the Barwon often and lands some Big ones!

    Geelong with Watts and Ablett would be almost premiership material!

    I think everyone in the comp is fuming about that Motlop compo, funnily enough it may work in our favour for once.

    Nah, Viney will fix Abletts' shoulder and Jack will get lost in Moorabool St never to be seen again.

    I disagree. 

    I think there is far less than is being made of this by the media.

    A serial under performer for the 9 seasons he has been on the list and the club has said, best you have a look at other options. If we can get value in a trade that you agree to, we will take it. Since that time I think the club has been mainly very disciplined and consistent  in all that it has said. 

    Jack will either stay or go. Whichever it is, it is up to jack as to how he responds.

    I think that the AFL media has made a mountain out of a molehill.

    In my opinion, if you strip away the media hype, the football club has handled it well whatever the outcome. I back the football department to make the right decisions.

     

    He rucked well for us when Max went down. This is not a long term decision

    This decision to off load Jack has been made quickly. Why? is all i want to know

    there is no point in playing him after a hammy injury in Round 23 if he was already off the books ? 

    this is not a cut and dried easy situ

    Tom $cully was “injured” for most of his 2nd year with us. I called BS on that at the time and i reckon it was the right call, as the little turd has played and run week after week since then. 

    Clubs lie often

    Don’t believe everything. After watching Jack’s video last saturday i don’t think he knows the full story either. 

    He certainly wasn’t planning a new life...

    Motlop is considered a massive downhill skier. Here is his comparison with Watts. They are almost an identical age. Not sure why some of hte contested stats didn't generate but they are remarkably similar yet Watts is a legend of the game....

    So Pick 3 (Hogan) for Frawley didn't work in our favour?

    I'm talking about all the concession picks plus compo picks being thrown in and pushing us back.

    That was an hilarious win though but we were rubbish.

    regardless of his one arm tackle attempts, he is the best kick in the side. 

    Some of our disposal this year was atrocious. 

    It is not unreasnoable as a shareholder to ask questions...

    I know he's played in some ordinary teams, but they are mightily disappointing stats for a #1 pick.

    No, it's not, but nothing will be divulged until it's on Open Mike or Open Gerard

    We used the Frawley compo on Brayshaw (just to be pedantic ? )

    I’m not waiting that long. I have a few mates in Byron Bay

    Something happened up there....

    What a great way for the Demonland faithful to send off a man, who would likely have the most posts about him in the history of Demonland.

    I can't wait for him to get a bag of goals next season, we can have another merry-go-round of Jack Watts posts.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
