Way off the mark here. It's actually baffling that us recruiting a marquee player has resulted in an attack on JM. Only on DL ...

Interesting comment given you were present for none of the conversations between the clubs with regard to this trade

Good deal, great acquisition Damn our backline is looking magnificent next year now. And I think thats really important given our attacking game plan. I suspect our turnovers will hurt less next year.

Well I guess there's no room in here for a light-hearted comment or two Lighten up guys ... its only Jack Watts ...

Ok lets give him a hug and order some overpriced board shorts instead

It's hard to do something about it as this stage I think, time travel is not yet available.

Am I the only one that hopes Viney smashes him the first time he goes near the footy playing for another team?

The trade period is enough to make you start following another code more? Seems a slight overreaction in the grand scheme of things ...

Because heaven forbid anyone has a life outside of Demonland and doesn't have the time to trawl through 100's of comments across multiple threads before posting an opinion

Ok maybe not a revelation - but he's shown more improvement this year than most on our list. Great asset, shouldn't be anywhere near trade talk at this stage IMO

Why on earth are people in here talking about trading ANB?!?! He was a revelation this year ...

I still have faith he will be good support for Hogan in the years to come. Needs to eat lots of steak over summer and hit the iron hard. I find it hard to question the FD in terms of recruiting lately as they have been stellar - so I trust they see something we may necessarily not.

Yeah man haha <3

Well said pusser, love it Your name must be Alex?

This post is embarrassing.

Anyone suggesting that Jack can be anything more than he has amounted to already seems either sadistic or delusional to me. The buck must stop with him retreating to his schoolboy ways late in 2017. He's a grown man for god's sake, if he can't commit to more than a handful contests a game and can't take a chest mark I don't care how good his kicking is. He doesn't even rank in our top goal scorers anyway. I've loved him in patches this year, even to the point where I stopped being a critic and started rating him, but his tail end of the season reminded me of why I cannot stand him as a player. Players of his nature are not commensurate with the notion of doing any damage in September whatsoever.

In fairness, I've heard the term "steak knives" in this context. Not so much "steak and knives".

Perhaps the two are related

Terrible, terrible post. Completely devoid of any knowledge of what leadership looks like. He was asked a direct question and answered it. How your mind has gone to where it has is baffling. Now eagerly awaiting the Demonland Social Justice Warriors to come and tell me I'm mean and that it takes courage to post absolute rubbish like this.

Once I feel I have something meaningful to bring up in conversation, that is without uneducated assertions, ridiculous assumptions and baseless finger pointing at the professionals that run our footy team - I surely will start a thread Deespicable. And trust me, if the title wasn't so ambiguous, this would not have been read anywhere near as much as it has.

There is literally no ball to play here. It is a thread based off zero facts and evidence, and is clearly just a frustrated fan throwing unnecessary shade at our medical staff after a disappointing loss. P.s Authoring a thread criticising Melbourne's medical staff behind an anonymous online moniker is courageous is it? I suppose you think every kid in a running race should get a ribbon, even if they come last right?

Grow up mate, me questioning a pointless post does not make me a "keyboard warrior". In fact if anyone's a keyboard warrior its the armchair physician Farmer, who's differential diagnosis of negligence by Medical staff was brilliantly formulated by seconds of dressing room footage of Kent looking sad. Are we sure Farmer isn't actually Dr Gregory House M.D?

Reading stuff like this is so infuriating. You've essentially just called out Melbourne's medical staff as being negligent based on a few seconds of TV coverage. Who are you exactly to make such a statement? Seems to me that people like you simply like the sound of their own voice.

So drop him after one game back - that'll get him up to AFL standard for sure lol

So if I take the option to resign, I've still been fired? The implications are totally different between the two from a legal perspective.
