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: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
