I suspect where Watts plays in 2016 will be more determined by any other club's interest in the lad as opposed Melbourne's He will remain a Demon by default is nothing sufficient is placed on the trade table. Jack needs to embrace that and do something or 2016 will be his LAST season..anywhere

Max Gawn...find of the year...where was he hiding !!!

Teeth accounted for Id be smiling too

Im playing hard to get..... probably hold out til next week...lol

Think we need to aim a bit higher Prefer Relton

was he smiling ?

I can see both Howe and Watts being involved in somewhat convoluted trades...and going to the wire..as is the want of this circus.

It isn't !!! fmd Looked promising

Get these Trainers to Aami

Seemed like a good idea at the time

sacharin he is

I know I and others seem to come across as negative Nancies. Its really just pragmatism.. Its a mighty big ask to get back to AFL/elite-meaningful fitness. More power to the lad should he do it once...let alone maintain it. Stoic determined efforts to get there are very impressive. Even I'd make a point of being at that return game to cheer. Just not going to get ahead of events and presume its fait au complit. I dont think it is. Again. .happy to be wrong. ..its happened

you know i reckon GUS is the living breathing antidote of MFCSS-itis !!

Reckon it might get very entertaining also. Might throw up more than a few surprises

A bit like the Voice comes to Footy....take all with a fair whack of salt...Panders to its audience

get them guinea pigs....same lessons !! lol

Very much the case.. all the game within a game stuff. Id be inclined to agree with Reds view...Frawley thought he was the player...he was played. Quite well too

a point...5 goals....... not fussed

Its always been my impression of the silly season, that time when some clubs have finished up and when the real circus of trade starts in earnest ( after the GF ) is that whilst there may be a handful of pre-emptive moves by some players etc that in the main the real game won't ( and can't ) start til the wheeling and dealing gets under way. There are areas where things would look for all the world to be rock solid with no room for movement until........a catalyst . Sometimes when a player suddenly changes their mind or an opportunity appears it causes the cohesion that was binding all things together to lose its potency a bit. The Dees havent pared their list ( officially ) , nor have some other clubs...and some are a bit of both..they've started. Where as in years past trade my stall with the advent of FA etc things are far more fluid. SOme players/managers might just be keeping their powder dry for the moment and watching to see how things pan out. Should Jack ended up moving on I dont think it will come from a particularly obvious deal. just my humble thoughts

I think the tenet of what many here are thinking is that Milkshakeman is just another so-so player. I keep hearing that the FD wants to better the list. I dont see getting this bloke as accomplishing that. We have enough so-so bland nqrs. Id like to think the club has higher aspiarations. Still is all moot..he's Essendon

Id be super surprised if we were only content to flesh out ONE player There'll be a shopping list

ditto

id like this twice if I could.. Well summed up EH

fascinating stuff Be interesting to see what eventually makes its way to the surface. Meanwhile..this bloke Tippett...... as a player id have him, fair to say controversy is never far away. Wonder if Roosey would be interested ? Hed still have enough contacts to know the 'real' story

Id rather get Relton !!
