    I get that you want your own life to go back to the way it was in 2010 but don't drag the rest of us back there with you.

    Watts is coming back from injury and will struggle to get a game at Port Adelaide 

    Tyson is injured and will have his work cut out staying on their list.

    After coming back from a knee, Dunn played a couple of games for the Pies (including v us) but is out of the side. Will probably retire at the end of the year.

    Does that answer your question?

    all 3 are going to be delisted. None are particularly great players

    Watts - Contract is up at years end. Unfortunately for him I can't see him coming i to the side. Will always be welcomed back as a Dee.

    Tyson- Contract runs out next year?? But apparently has a calf injury and the move to Kangaroos could become one of his biggest career blunders. Its a sad fall from grace, i really liked Dom and wished he stayed, but understood why he was traded. 

    Dunn - Should have retired two years ago... when i watched him against us he looked fat and overweight.

    Watts - I'm probably in the minority that wouldn't mind seeing this, but i don't think it'll happen. 

    Tyson - Will likely be traded to another side for not very much, or retained for the last year of his contract and fizzle out as a player. sad because his best was extremely good. 

    Dunn - great bloke, but well past it.

    I was disappointed when Tyson left.  Much like Brayshaw last year, he was playing out of position in 2018 and struggled.  Would have played regular matches last year for us if fit.  
     

    If memory serves correctly, I think the Gold Coast tried to lure him Nth.  In retrospect, that would have been a perfect move for him.  
     

    Sad that he’s had so many injury problems over the past 12 months.  A player like him would improve our list overall and I believe the club when they said we’d have been happy to keep him, but can’t see it happening.

    What improvement to our list TMF depth ? Or us he stopping development of Sparrow Jordan and even Jackson on the ball?

    Frost appears to be doing decent (better than I expected) at the Hawks but we haven’t actually let go of too many players recently who have bit us in the bum. Howe is the only one that stands out, Kent would struggle to get a game with us (hence why he left), Dunn would as well but has done well to carve out a second career at the Pies and wish him all the best (though his mullet is just disgusting). 

    As for Watts and Tyson, Dom filled a role at his time at the Dees and we needed a short term burst of decent quality. Watts you can’t help but feel a little sorry for, left the club and we make finals, he gets injured at Port and they look like they’ll be in the frame for the the premiership but I doubt he’ll get into the team. 

    I gotta say that will be an interesting Open Mike after he’s retired.

    Proposed (actual) list sizes next year doesnt help.  No outright to Dom and Dunn, though appreciate the service.  Watts is intriguing as he is skillful, then again laconic so it would take approx .5 games of him being back for DLand to blow up.

    True, but the dominance of Steven May shows why we let him go.  Frosty had his moments but he was far too unpredictable, and Goodwin wants a tough, dependable back line.  Frosty was the anti-dependable defender, although I did enjoy watching him play.

    I'm not suggesting you want him back, Pates, more that I've seen other posters throughout this year lamenting how we let him go.  I think we've seen enough now to show why we did.

    In theory Watts at his best could find a spot in our best 22, but his best is probably well past him now.

    Tyson's career looks done, and those two games Dunn played a couple of weeks ago suggest he should have retired at the end of last year.

    If Watts was right in body and mind, he could be an import missing piece of the puzzle with his elite distribution by foot into forward 50 and also being a very accurate shot for goal.  I think he'd do a lot better second time around with us, without the saviour level of expectation and us having build a fairly decient side which he could fit into.  If he's available and our fitness guru gave it the ok, then I wouldn't be against it.

    The other interesting thing is that could all parties put the past behind them regarding his exit, which get the impression wasn't on the best of terms between Jack and Goody.

    I’d say he’s currently a better player than Sparrow and Jordan.  If I was picking a best 22 for finals this year and I could only play one out of those three, I think I’d pick Tyson.

    Dom was great for us in his first few years.

    Then he stagnated.  Others went past him and he got shoved out to a wing.  He was slow with ball in hand and was an average, at best, user of the footy.  I still have heart palpitations when I think of his horrible kick against the Pies in 2017 that almost cost us the game before the Watts sealer.  

    Even when fit he struggled to get a run with Norf.

    He wouldn't be in our best 30 players now.

    Agree,  I think if he was coming back on a base salary, Watts is probably pushing for a spot as a medium tall rebounding defender, his foot skills alone would make it tempting,.. but I think it's unlikely.

    Do you people really think that Goodwin and co would have Watts back ?

    A definite no to all three.

    I think people need to let go of this. Watts was let go due to poor off field standards.

    He will also be nearing 30 by next. He's finished unfortunately.

    the only consistent theme in jack watts' entire afl career is that he's been dropped to the vfl / sanfl by every single coach he's had

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • 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?
