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.....

    Yeah, because Port have been sensational since he arrived.

    I shouldn't be responding, should I?

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

    JW's B&F finishes from 2018. What a gun.  The answer to our prayers.

    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.

    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.

    NO, he is another player that has an injury just like Elliot. One day in some future century we might consider drafting an uninjured player or recruit. This same player may even be able to handball and kick with some degree accuracy.

    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.

    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 ....

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
