It’s a no from me. We moved him on due to culture and work ethic issues. He was much loved by the demons supporters and his teammates. But he’s not coming back. We didn’t develop him properly but not sure he really ever had the commitment either.

    Give me a break

    He still is much loved by all - what's wrong with this idea? It would lift morale

    But, alas, some leaders are not prepared to admit that they got it wrong or show their vulnerability

    B and Fs don't excite me from the MFC, jnr  :)

    Ha ha what a joke.

    He came 21st in the B&F at his first year at Port.

    He's a superstar. But a true measurement by his club over a prolonged period and you choose to ignore the results.

    You are Jack Watts.

    Typical, snarly, defensive commentary

    Chill out, Simon Goodwin xx

    Wouldn't lift my morale in fact it would have the opposite effect.

    Jack's happy lets leave it at that.

    Of course - I understand...but, what's wrong with admitting you got something wrong?

    Mebbe we'll wait for the special interviews that will be hosted be Gerard Whately

    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.

     

    You obviously know nothing about what it takes to be a good footballer. I would suggest that you have never played the game.....

    but, you are entitled to your opinion, just as I am.

    To suggest that Jack Watts is an ordinary footballer is evidence of my comment above & the only only person embarrassing themselves, unfortunately, is you.

    This won't end well.

    Have played at SANFL level under former demon Clay Sampson who was our coach at the time at South Adelaide Panthers.

    Ok can you give me a list of achievements from Jacks career? Was ordinary a harsh word? Yes and no, handy at times when he feels like, but is far too inconsistent and shows the occasional glimpse.

    * Can't find it with Titanic theme anymore :(

     

    Titanic theme was Hannan in 2018.

    Watching it back, he clearly could have passed it instead of going for the lower percentage option himself. Ran hard in that instance cos he was ‘on’; if only he ran hard all the time regardless.

    Definite no for me.

    We all know that Jack hasn't won any B & F's or hasn't been included in any All Australians etc so his personal accomplishments resume would be blank, however, he has achieved a lot more thank probably all that choose to make any comment about his talent & ability etc.

    174 AFL games..... not bad for an ordinary footballer.

    He was good for the MFC most of the time & on occassions, elite..... especially with his disposal & he could run all day.

    Still cant believe that in a team that has been searching for elite disposal for years that Goodwin just gets rid of Jack.

    Again only my opinion. Sorry to go on gents but I do enjoy the discussion.

    From what Mahoney said at the time of trade it seems he hen wasn’t a good influence on the group. I looked for the article recently but couldn’t find it. From what Mahoney said it’d be a fair old back flip to get him back.

    But, that's okay, too

    We all make mistakes

    Imagine the media frenzy, the hype, the excitement, the anguish, the members signing up!!

    The Club's vanilla atm

    I can certainly imagine the anguish.  The rest of it, not so much I'm afraid.  Terrible idea IMO.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
