Listed as a 'Rookie Demon'...posts an amateur thread. I think we were ok with your absence.

I posted this in another thread, but I can tell you, I was given info from a person connected to the MFC that suggested that the White clash while be done away with and that the new clash jumper will be "as traditional as it could be'. Make of that what you will. I pushed the guy for more details or for a release date, but he was tight lipped...which is fair enough. Based on what he told me, I am excited to see the design.

I go for City...what $$$$$ are you on about? There is a salary cap in the A -League

Number 4 is not famous .. maybe 50 years ago.. it's been worn by duds in the modern era..Sullivan...Grgic and 'Poster Boy'..I think Ben Holland even wore it... retire the number 4. I'd say the number 2 is most iconic. FLOWER and Tingay and now Jones. Forget Armstrong inbetween. The 9 is also pretty famous. I'd give that to leaver. The 31 should be sacked and never handed out again. Wheatley was the only worthy wearer of it in 30 plus years

Are we training the house down? ??

White may be off the menu

admittedly so. However, I think next year's will be the best 'alternate' strip we have seen so far. I can't really reveal more than that at this stage.

I have it on good authority that we will have a new clash jumper ourselves next year. I think fans will be happier than they were with this year's

Fingers crossed that the Geelong AWAY game is at Etihad.

Saints will be happy to play at casey against us. Practically could run their family day there that night. Casey and that region is St Kilda heartland and will never be Melbournes anything

Anyone, seen Petraccas Instagram post from today still worried that the players will view Goody negatively based on the Watts decision

? what number are we thinking about giving Jake? Surely he takes the number 9 ? Don't, under any circumstance, give him 4 or 31..cursed numbers at the MFC

What a peanut

i have no emotion for Watts..I have supported the trading of him from the start. I am only concerned about the way we handled the trade and the public declarations and the effect they had on his value. are you daft? I haven't mentioned anything about Hogan being worth anything, because Hogan leaving is FAKE news. We cleared out Watts to free Salary cap for Lever and future re-signings. I know this as FACT. So jump off ya high horse, realise you are not the only one with an 'opinion' who has gathered first-hand facts on this issue.

how am I butt hurt? The MFC created a buyers market for Watts, ousted him publicly and got a crappy pick 31 for him, in a weak draft. These are facts, not agenda driven opinion. Adelaide fans are stoked that we have given them 2 first rounders for Lever, a player they consider to be selfish and who plays for himself. It's a late second round pick ...31 that is...don't forget compo picks slide in and push this pick higher... So, we are getting the deal done for Balic for pick 66 yeah? You reckon that is happening? What is the delay ? Why not do it yesterday? What did it have to do with waiting on what we got for Watts? Remember what we gave for Melksham?...cmon mate, be a realist, we may have landed what we wanted in the last few trades and drafts, but we have assisted other clubs with the picks we have given up.

Yep..I heard it..was there

I would give 66...this bloke has some major off field issues..not sure we all understand the baggage we are taking on here.

They do. Made very clear by the leadership group.

31 a late pick yeah? Or is 31 a top end pick? We've been bent over in every deal this year and a few last year..may the trend continue

Utter bulltish

http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-10-17/docker-one-step-from-becoming-a-demon So according to his manager, mfc were waiting to see what they got for watts before moving on Balic...the recent form suggests we will probably give up pick 31 for a former pick 38. That's our current track record isn't it?

Blah blah blah. ...this thread is bordering on rediculous. Yes, Jack loves the MFC as he knows nothing else and suits his private school, Bayside lifestyle. Life has been comfortable for Jack at the MFC...however, his on field performances and training standards have been below that of an elite footballer for years. After many of our losses over the last 9 years, many of Jack's recent fan boys have been the first to lambast the bloke and call him weak, soft and more. When Jack announced that he wanted to stay a Dee and that he loved the club, a lot of supporters changed their tune and fell in love with Jack. Why? Because the MFC has been devoid of such loyalty and passion for years. We've seen no 1 picks walk out...had no real leaders for years, had a group under Neeld that cared little for the club, its history or its supporters. In Jack we saw genuine care for our club, it's culture and us, the supporters ..endearing to many. The bashing stopped and we looked favourably on our new favourite son and forgave the weak efforts at the contest given week after week..the dropped chest marks under no pressure, the one handed tackling efforts...and for a moment were blinded .... Take a breath and remember the frustration you felt for many years...a kid with plenty of potential has gone for a pack of peanuts..but you cannot carry influential members of a team forever..especially when they do not work hard on the track or commit to the contest....every moment counts.... A chapter ends and a likable young man leaves. Move on. The club knows best. The leadership group are driving standards. Trust where we are headed

Let's be honest, club wanted him out, but we have seriously stuffed this up and ended up with very little for a contracted player, who 12 months ago was being looked at by plenty of clubs aND had serious trade value. We end up with another rubbish pick that will yield some kid who is 5 years away from making any impact in the AFL, I'd any at all.

I am fine.. I know that Watts i gone..100% out the door.. i don't know what the hold up is...
