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 ....

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
