Sir Why You Little

That is absolute drivel. THE CLUB treated JW as the Messiah for years and now wonder why he cruises in 3rd gear the CLUB did that READ THIS CAREFULLY Jack has never had the Rocket up his Backside before So YOU and all the other “experts on his psyche”have no idea how he will react....yet this is the ONE and ONLY reason i would give him this summer preseason because now he is not the chosen boy he has to fight for his dignity and pay check He has never had to do that before if he goes to Port it will be under the same conditions sink or swim Nobody can predict the outcome of this summer until it happens not even you BB...not even you mate

Exploring options is not being pushed out in my view. It is a final wake up call. “Shape up or Ship out bring pushed out the door is ”pack your bags now” and Security escorting said person off the premises. We are not at that stage yet. We may be there by next week. At this stage Jack has been asked (told) to “wake up to yourself” if he fails to respond he will be sold off or banished to Casey to rot.. at no stage should we just give him away and continue to pay a wage. That is pure insanity in my view...

Jack is Flaky, we all agree on that. BUT he can kick goals from the 50 Metre line on the boundry. (He did it more than once this year) For that reason we shouldn’t get rid of him at any price. If Jeelong can get 19 for Motlop.... (those smarmy bastards would have cracked bottles of Moet last night. 19 for that Powder Puff!!! Grrrr

All good mate. I am just sick of this club being kicked around by our opponents both on and off the field. Now often we F$&@ ourselves (Tiompas over Ollie Wines) exhibit A But i am tired of watching Melbourne players win games in September in other jumpers. Stephen Armstrong was the last one, admittedly he had a good reason to go home. But Watts could easily kick goals in a class forward line given the right delivery. If it’s against us i will go Feral if we are paying him a wage!!!

I do not like being Bent Over Dr. I have no problem with Watts being moved on, but it must be at a fair price. The way the deal looks now is Port are picking Jack up off the nature strip with the Hard Rubbish Trailer Rental And then we have to pay ongoing after that. I wish i could speak to Wattsy, i have been through enough sh!t in my time. I would back myself to sort out his priorities. A trip to The Austin Hospital Spinal Unit would be top of my list after the initial pleasantries. Have a chat to people who can no longer move or feel their own bodies. My disability is not as drastic as that, but i have had it for 54 years without respite. If Jack loves the club as he has said, he can honour his signature. If he runs away to Alberton and we still pay him a % of his salary, i and many others will be filthy. Our worst feature last season was field kicking. Who was the best exponent of Field kicking?

Yeah. We keep doing it. Getting Bent Over. It’s why other clubs laugh at us. Imagine that bogan turd Kochie right now ”mm Jack Watts for $200 Grand a year, why not...” that is almost a tax write off and we are billed for it Keep him at Casey i say until he penny drops. Now that all this is public, he will either get it or walk away from the game. But bugger another Top 4 club (we could be pushing for the same spot next year) getting an elite user of the ball (albeit sporadic) for the price of a packet of chips and a few Tim Tams.

30 is not a win. If that is the best that can be offered, he should be played at Casey until his brain gets “it” To be thrown 30 (+) so Jack walks and we still have to pay a % of his salary is not a deal. It is a complete farce. I do not want even a small amount of my Membership contribution going to another club, who we have to play during the year. The ONLY time that is remotely acceptable is when we need to ease salary cap pressure, and even then it is an admission of guilt on list management practises...

Exactly...

Carry on, i like that

I consider them an Interstate club!

If that is the case then why was a contract negotiated for 3 years last year? As i said above, if Jack played a year at Casey (unless of course he made drastic changes to his preparations) it would send a massive message to our whole list. Half assed efforts will not be tolerated, under any circumstance

We can disagree on this point. I just don’t agree with it. I would rather play JW at Casey and pay his wage than pay for him to play for Port Adelaide. Or thirdly get Watts and Goodwin together in a room and say ”sort this sh!t out, and do not emerge till you have”

We should never pay a contract wage once a player is on another list. It’s classic double dipping from an opposition club, and i will never agree to it. It merely shows that the list manager needs to be replaced as their calculations do not add up

Cool. We agree on that one!!!

Oh i am ready to let the club know As a Member i do not want to pay an opposition player playing against us. It’s just not right.

And that stinks. Regardless of why this has occured, Jack has far more value than chips and a pollywaffle and i expect this to be the case. I will be filthy if JW is playing at Port and we are still paying his wage with some rubbish draft picks that Port tossed in. I am still angry about the Earl Spalding deal, we got bugger all out of that, whilst Carlton won the ‘95 flag easily with The Earl in the side. I know you don’t care BB, but we differ on that

Pick 19 for Motlop is a joke Jeelong will be celebrating tonight Jack Watts is of similiar worth, and we won’t get anywhere near 19 if a deal does get done. Jeelong, once again get the armchair ride for what they want. I am starting to REALLY hate them now, rather than just hating them...!

I got the impression that everything is still up in the air, which is amazing considering this has gone on for 10 days. We have no offer from any club as to Jack’s worth yet. Anything over 30 is junk in my view and if that is the offer i hope Jack doesn’t go.. it’s a Cold War Scenario so far everyone is waiting....

Could well be a book out of this if Jack plays finals over there...

Agreed

Sure. But he has to train at Alberton....

Yes my father spent a lot of time working there many years ago, as were his stories of what he saw

He won’t last. Port will be mad to recruit him Popcorn time....

Have you ever been to Port Adelaide?

No he wouldn’t be that stupid. Disagreements can be sorted out. This one cuts a lot deeper as i said when this all started Goodwin has put both his balls on the line, if this backfires badly, his coaching career is over. I will back him in. I am just happy Jack didn’t go to Jeelong. At Port it’s out of mind out of sight...
