Opinions are what they are.

Overall... It is an ugly saga which we would all laugh at if it was at 17 other clubs.  Not well managed by any party.

    He hasnt even commited to a club.

    Geelong is going to the draft apparently and Sydney have confirmed they are out.

    That leaves Port.

    I just cannot believe we are dragging this out until the last day. I expected he nominated his club monday and the deal was done by, at the latest, this morning.  Clearly we are not as willing to settle for a crap pick?? Has Watts dug his heels in? Not according to Connors? What a farcical way this whole saga has been handled.

    Toumpas and Watts together again at last.

    This is the sort of snipe that really annoys me.  Whatever you think of Watts, he provided a lot more than Toumpas under a lot more scrutiny.

    Maybe he isn’t going to nominate a club, and stay?  

    This site will explode!  500 pages of tripe guaranteed!

    Deep breaths. In .... out ..... in .... out ....

    Think of a peaceful forest.

    Maybe go for a long walk.

    It's okay. It's going to be okay.

    Connors and Watts are the ones dragging it out, not the club.

    Interesting take.

    He wants to go to Geelong but the offer is better at Port.

    Problem is he is priority 3 with them after Ablett and Stringer. So they need to drop first

    If Watts stays Casey has a new forward flanker :)

    If he stays he won't be playing at Casey.

    Might be some value there.  He might even be able to teach Weids how to split the middle from 20 meters out on occasions and kick them from more than 35 meters out.  500k well spent on something the current coaching crew haven't been capable of doing.

    I see both sides. I am not against Jack staying, I do not believe that his position at the club is untenable. I think Tmac and Hogan as kpfs will suit Jack's game. He struggles when playing as a kf or in the ruck. If we trade him for a pick between 20-30 I am confident Taylor can find a good young player in that range, or alternatively a swap of second rounders for a higher pick may eventuate.

    They are only 'out' until they are back in

    Given his dad has come out and spoken in the media, I'd say his position is now untenable.

    • 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.
