For the 1000th time it was Jack's decision. He was contracted. he could have chosen to stay and work his bum off. Or stay and do nothing. He made the decision they didnt want him and left.

Yep. http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2016-09-08/club-champion-fifth-jack-watts In contrast, Goodwin in 2017 on Clayton Oliver: "“He made a lifestyle change. He decided he wanted to be great. And he did it within 12 months”

Who has called Jack scum bag? Does making stuff up make you feel better?

Quote " A lot of past years I've been sitting down there feeling a bit awkward drinking the free pizz and wishing I'd done a bit more during the year" Also fact that Roos implored the players to chose greatness starting "tonight" and Jack came back to the club and was dropped for the pre-season games. You can have your own reality if you really want.

Leigh Mathews says the Crows should have asked for pick 1

I remember the 2016 b&f. Jack said he felt awkward on stage and he was usually in the audience getting pizzed. roos implored the players to choose greatness and watts returned to be dropped from the pre season games. you remember what you want. I'll remember another in a long line of unfulfilled talent.

Who got stuck into Eddie McGuire over the Adam Goodes 'Ape' saga yet called a black South African cricket coach a Gorilla. A hypocrite of the highest orde. He and Lisa deserve each other.

Why do you think Melbourne dragged it out? Maybe it was Watts. Maybe Jack was hoping that Geelong would come to the party and when they didn't he ran out of options. Connors said that he would be moving on. More unfounded speculation - as if we didn't have enough in this thread already.

that would be getting dangerously low i imagine......

So Pick 3 (Hogan) for Frawley didn't work in our favour?

Motlop is considered a massive downhill skier. Here is his comparison with Watts. They are almost an identical age. Not sure why some of hte contested stats didn't generate but they are remarkably similar yet Watts is a legend of the game....

Its OK we have Jayden Hunt. He can do it from 70m on the flank.....

This kind of post is just pure speculation and doesn't add anything except BS and hysteria. If you think it is one person has evaluated Watts and then convinved Viney and Goodwin you really have no idea of how a footy department or list management works.

Tippett has just gone in for an ankle reconstruction. Won't be playing for some time.......

JW is the only player in the history of the AFL to drop himself. He is truly selfless and not to blame for any of this....

They'd say anything to move to their club of choice, Don't read too much into it.

Yeah, that'll do it. Like sitting around singing Kum-bay-ah...

Only if you listen to the echo chamber of the herald sun or D'Land...

I agree wholeheartedly with the bold part.

Im not a Jack hater. I am on record as saying I hope he stays and performs. But its highly unlikely. He is a serial underperformer. And good for you if you are a fan boy. I hope it gets you to sleep at night holding up Jack Watts poster with one hand.

This is telling. A no 1 draft pick with elite talent and 9 yrs in the system. We are 'giving him away for peanuts' according to the fan boys and girls and the market for him is shallow at best.....

Really ? Getting dropped in the final round of 2015 wasn't a rocket? Getting dropped late this year wasn't a rocket? Getting dropped for the pre season games wasn't a rocket? FFS Watts even dropped himself a few years ago. selective memory...

So why has he only finished in the top 10 of the b&of twice? 5th and 9th. In 9 yrs of football?

Do you really not understand that Motlop is a restricted free agent and compensation rules apply?

So if Watts stayed that wouldn't be a giant kick up the posterior? Your objectivity has slipped behind your virtue signalling.
