  1. That doesn't necessarily hold true. It's about perceptions and how they can cloud. Another may view something more favourably than its holder.
  2. VP... its my opinion. Weed wont amount to much. You re welcome to yours.
  3. He's bucked a lot of trends as a 2nd year player. As some would have it..he is actually morphing his game as he understands his own abilities better. I'd have to think some coaches have had a whisper...back yourself !! onwards and upwards...
  4. Oh Clarry Boy, the Dees , the Dees are calling From game to game, and on towards the springtime fight The Winter’s gone and all the others fallen It’s you , and yours that must make our future right And come ye back in summer, at the meadow Come before the fans hushed glow It’s I’ll be there in sunshine or the shadow Oh Clarry Boy, Oh Clarry we love you so !!
  5. I dont think Bevo is quite the Messiah he appeared. Rode Maccas coat tails to a Cup and good luck to him ( wish we had one ) Footiscray still seem a bit hamfisted in many things they do (Not saying we're much better ..just a comment on them ) Stringer's no saint.. nor his club a perfect design
  6. Let me know I'll drive him over !!
  7. You had me at listening to SEN !! Lol I only judge actions and words. Theyre there
  8. Would have thought Barker and Dew must be close to a top gig
  9. Onya Bernie. Congratulations. Just ...ahhh... No kick-ins ok mate Cheers
  10. You wouldn't think so ..... It's the AFL though More likely to get umpires wearing a yellow strip !!
  11. As Red said, you too, probably RPFC concurring ; we ought take whats good and better it. We should. I posted months ago somewhere about Jack, possibly around his time of banishment that it wouldn't surprise me (then ) if Jack winds up elsewhere in 2018. It would surprise me even less now. Not my preference but can't help but get that nagging intuition that a card's been marked.
  12. So far likely/possible happenings garnering mail. In : Lever Balic Out : Watts Cant wait for the surprises !!
  13. I only caught a bit of that trade radio vcast the other day. Remember Dodoro smirking..regailing his coffee with stringer..things afoot there possibly. I don't recall Connors saying much about Watts Anyone able to expand ? Cheers
  14. 3) ? Im a little tired of captains who can take half a game to get going ans coaches who repeat mistakes lampooning people. Watts is far from deserving a pass, however those dishing it out aren't perfection either.
  15. Doms problem is not so much HIS ( imho ) it's teh teams etc. .it's that next possession getter. They AREN'T there..thats more than often why poor decisions are made...lack of decent options
  16. It's an interesting dynamic. Watts and Jones both survivors of "that" era..there really only being they and Tmac and Gawn Watts and Jones... water and oil. So different and yet we need elements of both bring to the game. In reality I only care that something is done....no care or condition as to how really. If a player can kick a lazy 6..whats the down side etc. Not that Jack has but it's the notion that a less than manic at the ball effort that can get results is somehow to be berated. There are players for all their efforts fail to effect games. Jack isnt really one of them. Much maligned imho
  17. Is Dom...is good ...is....in need of more receiving outside mids to negate poor ol Dom's dubious disposals.
  18. As good a place as any. We often pontificate about this player, that player, arranging all sorts of wondrous exchanges or drafts only to have the 'professionals' do something entirely different based upon their intel. Some work out some don't. I await the club's thinkings.
  19. @robbiefrom13 et al. Ive had, possibly like yourself, a nagging feeling there's an "in" crowd, a clique still at Melb. This would explain a lot. You wont be alone in observing Watts being ignored or "bussed" . The Dees have a long history of 'jocks' . Where other clubs seek success Melbourne are masters of self destruction. Its not necessarily in the realm of fantasy that some lesser talented but better workers are just jealous of highly skilled cruisers. Its a normal human condition.. It might well prove beneficial for Watts to move on., provided we better the list in doing so. Whilst we're on this subject of "Bussing" players i firmly believe we'll never win a Premiership with Jones as capt ( i await the incoming )
