Jack Watts would be laughing at the MFC & thanking his lucky stars that he left.

Could never understand why we got rid of him especially when the year before he won 2 games off his own boot & is considered one of the best kicks in the game......something that our current list of players cant do....

Staggering.....

When he got to Port they gave him the nickname ‘Basil.

I’m not intending to stir the pot here, but I reckon we could use this guy’s skills and he’d still absolutely be in our best 22. Watts is simply an elite user of the ball, he has great skills, an

I never understood the amount of angst and invective directed at Jack Watts. When I sat at the football I would hear supporters pick him out for things he did or did not do.What about some of the othe

Yeah, because Port have been sensational since he arrived.

I shouldn't be responding, should I?

Yep

Plenty of other better duds to choose from if you really want a dud. No from me. This is definite trolling here.

And after he finished 5th and gave the speech where he said 'I'm usually sitting down there [censored], I need to do better' he came back out of shape and was promptly dropped for the JLT games.

Football fraud.

Ha you haven't thought hard about this comment have you.

This is the same Jack Watts that came out  publicly last year and said he was hurt knowing the Dees were playing finals last year.

He's played 2 games this year and his own club yet AGAIN have missed out on finals.

Yeah he would be laughing alright ... ?‍♂️ only thing that's laughable is your post??

ha ha 

JW has gone to a club that actually cares about him.....JW has gone to a club that has won 6 more games than us this year......

JW has gone to a club that isn't a basket case & he's gone to a club that isn't the laughing stock of the AFL.

Sure he has made some lifelong friends at the MFC & friends he would still associate with, but really......you reckon he misses us.....Pft

Stop pretending like we are some sort of destination club.

Stop pretending like we are some sort of destination club. 

Please point this out where in any form have I remotely mentioned that we are a destination club?

Our club cares a lot about Jack the footballer but Jack the person. But when you are 27 years old and 150 games of experience and still getting a serve to work hard and put in then that says to me a lack of dedication from Jack.

He's goes to Port Adelaide a year after and this so called club that cares about him also drops him due to poor form. Funny that?

You're embarrassing yourself. Good for [censored] and giggles, but I'd stop ahead if I was you.

Ordinary footballer who was as soft as butter. Good luck though. That's where it stops.

Say what you want about Watts, but we currently have two key forwards on our list, neither of whom have played since round 16.

In the past three post seasons Goodwin has presided over the departures of Watts, Hogan, Pedersen, T.Smith and Keilty and has brought in the grand sum of zero tall forwards. Our forward line was a complete shambles this year.

At some point we are going to need to recruit some key forwards who are ready to play. They don't grow on trees, so I'd like to see a list of better options that could be available if we ask the right questions.

Not sure about the laughing but agree with the second paragraph.

He'd be cheap and, if the penny has dropped (for him), he could be a valuable MFC forward asset.

Definitely worth a discussion.

I don't know if you're trolling or not Ron, but I'd be thrilled if he came back to us.  He is strong everywhere that we are weak.  His kicking is as good as any in the league and most importantly he was the number one player in the league for retaining possession with inside 50 passes.  He would love playing off HB as the spare tall/intercept marker alongside Lever and May.  It's his best position and we saw this year how well he plays it. 

As for his contested work.  He went 1-3 against Weed, TMac and The Bull in a marking contest and absolutely destroyed them.  He's not a contested beast, but he does ok. 

Sadly, in my view, this will never happen.  From what Ihave seen from Goodwin, he is almost incapable of acknowledging an error of any sort when it comes to his judgement or his coaching ability.  Even an experienced, successful, confident, proven, successful senior coach would have difficulty coping with an admission of poor judgement and poor leadership re the JW departure.  Gooowin is currently none of these.  Let's hope he us capable of learning a lesson.

Yes from me. Fit, fast and can kick

The fact Melbournefc couldn't get the best out of him is an indictment on our ability to develop and direct talented, albeit easily distracted, young men

Happy memories for me from that match. Was the last time I had a sense of smugness at a Dees vs Pies game.

Must have watched this reply 1000 times mainly to annoy my husband.

Sigh ....

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
