Apoligies if this has been posted before.
From mfc.
Thank you for taking the time to contact the Melbourne Football Club.
We understand AFL is based on emotion and that's what makes our game great, however the role of football departments is to make decisions based on analytic thinking. We hope that our members can see any decision made are only trying to benefit the club and assist in reaching ultimate success.
This does not mean Jack is leaving the Club. He is a contracted player and if we believe that after looking at all the options, the best thing for the club and for Jack to remain at the footy club, then that will happen.
Over the last 4 years, our list management group and coaching staff, have had an excellent track record in their respective roles. We have built a young and talented playing group who are made of the right character and as they grow and develop, they will deliver sustained success for our Club.
The Club is bigger than any one individual and with that in mind, we are fully focused on making all decision in the best interests of the Club.
Please feel free to listen to the attached interview with our General Manager of Football Josh Mahoney, talking about Jack Watts.
