The only quote - which is from his manager and not Watts himself - just says they're waiting for a coaching appointment. It says absolutely nothing of the sort regarding threats to walk. But by all means, jump the gun, accuse him blackmail, call him names etc.

The club obviously saw my post about how we're going to finish above St Kilda on the ladder
-
If you don't think the GWS and Footscray games are winnable then you are clearly one of those footy fans that can only remember the last game of footy they saw. The game against the side with zero wins on the board, has a percentage worse than ours and we've already beaten once is unwinnable? Can't you see how silly that sounds?

The difference is so subtle that it ceases to exist.

There's actually also the real possibility that it could be pick 3. Go ahead and laugh if you want, but look at the ladder, our draw and St Kilda's draw first.

When the players are playing at 30% it makes no difference at all what position players are in. I see tactics as something you fiddle with when trying to get a slight edge in a tight game. 1%ers, if you will. A 1%er when you are 200% off the pace won't do much and isn't worth worrying about IMO.
-
What would the final score have been if he'd made those changes? I understand what you're saying, but I reckon Craig had much bigger things to worry about than replacing Hack A with Hack B in Position Z when we're behind by 100 points. Complaining about this is just nit-picking IMO.

Clever moves, tactics and strategies are all weeing around the edges when the side is utterly dysfunctional.

6. Frawley 5. Dunn 4. N.Jones 3. Gawn 2. Sylvia 1. McDonald Well done Chipper and Dunn for beating your opponents, and the others for being the next four least-worst.

I double check the rule every week, just to make extra sure Hogan can't play. Sadly they seem to remain static.

5 of those players were in the forward line.

Agreed Tim. Find a way to magic in some quality, experienced, match ready mids or we're stuck this way for the next few seasons at least.
-
That will definitely solve the problem.

I thought I'd felt the last of those knives in the stomach.

Because if you don't watch Casey, you're none the wiser if he's progressing or just no good. It is a fair thing to ask.
-
It's the same league we plucked Howe from. The standard is a long way off the VFL/SANFL/WAFL though. I think if Thorp wants credibility he'll need to consider a move, like the likes of Ian Callinan have done.
-
As opposed to all the other weeks, that have been kind? Most of the time the week after we play anywhere is unkind. We lose so often that it's impossible to say if Darwin is a factor or not.
-
You think playing a player who is not ready can't make us worse? It can, and will. Toumpas struggling then Garland going off injured showed what happened when you are carrying a player for a whole match. It could have been the difference between winning and losing last week.
-
You're not in to gifting games... But you think we should gift him some games.

Barely an improvement on Byrnes for mine. That said, he's kicked more goals in his career than I'd have guessed before I looked, and he's obviously much younger than Byrnes.
-
Never to be bumped again.
-
I'm not a Casey watcher, but by the reports Taggert is a way off, and the fact that he played in the development league two weeks ago supports that. This is not the under 12s, you don't just give "give players a go". That go has to be earned.
-
It's not that we step back and ask the question, it's because most of us can't be bothered sitting down and calculating 1 + 1 when we already know the answer is 2.
-
And being industry standard may also be a contributing factor.
