All the best Bernie. And thanks for being a Dee, and helping us back up. Luvs ya work BV.

Sadly, If we did, 5 yrs ago, he may have been young enough to change his attitude at another club. Not now I think.

Actually it may help us as a distraction... (the supporters). And help the players, as WE do not leave them under too much focus... so lets keep on talking trade atmo, until after the Elim' final is over with. After that week we can shift the eyes up a little. Rest assured, the players will be focused on this coming match. And probably benefit from us not scrutinising them too closely.

In the end I was glad he left I wanted him gone after his last season with us... sorry, I wanted him gone half way thru his last season with us. And I said so, straight out. I new him and his dad, and I am left disappointed with him, to this day. And I'm glad to say, he is gone. Poison to our efforts and attitudes. We've had far too many of that lazy picky type player in red n blue for decades.

No, I said how do you feel, about jack watts being let go from the club. It wasn't a question about the club. It was directed at you.

plenty more fish in the sea, werridee. and some around Plenty, as well.

And you did not answer the question of how do you feel about jack watts, now not in our club? FMD, simple question.

you show me yours, and I will show you mine ? ! Because when I have an issue with a player, a real issue. I will say it to them, face to face and have done so before, whether that be Fraser Gehrig, or Brad Green, or giles. Been there done that. I call a spade a spade, and a [censored] shovel, just that.

it should not be the headline story of a player who wants to represent the Mfc. We should not care if they cannot read or write as players.... other than to help them from any disadvantage. We should not put 0xford scholars on pedestals,,, whilst the Harmes's and Oliver's are left as an ordinary top bloke and great footy player. Mike Fitzpatrick is an oxford scholar, and rich person financially. And I for one could not give a toss about him. In fact, i regard Brett 'mumbles' Bailey, higher the that [censored] from the Blues. Give me John Fidge, give me Daryl Cox. give me Jacko. all great servants and charactrs of the game. .... and let those grammarians, 'skip to the loo, my darling'.

Your right. How do you feel about Jack Watts, now being gone ?

You are very simplistic, Or very mischievous. No one would want a loved player to leave this club. The whole point is, that those you mention, want other players/player-types into the clubs list. The types we are short of. lets see:- Dylan Shiel ? Lachie Neale ? Josh Kelly ? another kid from the draft for our future. etc. The ability to pay for one of these mature elite players;,, is the key to this thread. We don't have very much of 'the ready', to straight out buy one of them, or the draft picks to entice a grumpy club. Enter player trades..... now who have we got that would be able to get us 'the solution', to getting one, or perhaps more than one onto our list, for next year, or 2020 ? It's not about wanting to get rid of Jesse... It is about how do we get other players in.!

Nothing is wrong with that player. But it is a lousy reference, to sound out footy players,,,, based on speech, etiquette, curtsy, or how hard the handshake is. It is all irrelevant,,, and at a club which is known for turning its nose up at certain types as recruits, in the past... it is high time this club got its own head our of it's own derrière. That 'IS', Watt is wrong_

I've just been walking thru big-footy rumours. Its shaping the at other rumours have surfaced just in the last couple of weeks or so,,, like Gaff to Cats, and other clubs, etc. This seems to have come out, since around the time Gaff struck young Brayshaw... under duress? I wondering strongly, if WE made it official at that time, to the gaff camp, that we were out of the running, for Gaff. I sense if that's the case, that we have changed our minds, and we have found a different suitor to our needs. A left field one. What chance Cyril ?

I think so, 'DD'... Re the gut running... also ANB,,, and to a lesser, JKH as well, as a backup. IF we were into gaff since early on in 2017... a lot has changed within Mfc's list,,, since at least mid 2017... and certainly this season, especially. We are finding a few gut runners now, which was a real weakness for us, in Roosy's days. Gaff was in this equation. We have a need for speed, and they are like gold now, amongst the AFL.

Looks like de melk. can he kick, goals?

Yes, but surely the only imperative is that they can play footy, 1st, 2nd, & even yes, 3rd.... I don't care if they're illiterate. We can always send them to school after footy, to learn the alphabet. It's high time this club stopped worrying about grammarians,,, and focused on footy players.... as a priority. Or we will go for another 50 something years, again.

LoL... shakes head... what, like English is his first language, dc? or has he already developed a bloody plum in his throat. Lets let boys be boys, and footy players be footy players, and not spoil therm by smoothing off the edges, just yet... please. Let then have their roughness's. and their aggression.

He hasn't found his fluency in his kicking just yet, at AFL level... but today was better than last week. For him, Its just a mater of feeling more comfortable out there. I'm sure.

And lets remember, he has been messed up during past preseasons with ankle injuries... so hasn't really had big preseasons, for fitness. Again, last preseason (2018), was a shortened preseason for him, Re surgery, and so he had a delayed start to this season.

&&&& is only just gone 21Yrs of age.

Do you mean the 'RoundUp', in the black&white boxed no frills brand ??

There's a lot of preciousness going around. No One wants Jesse gone. But we all want say a Josh Kelly, or a Whitfield, Shiel, or a Lachie Neale at this club. If one of these players becomes available to us, at the right price, then what ?

He's the same player, but he needs the ball put out in front of him, to run at. 2 first Rnd picks doesn't mean 2 kids. It might turn into a Josh Kelly, or a Whitfield and Shiel. Maybe a Lachie Neale +,,, at end of 2018? The point is, its worthy of a discussion. And no disrespect at all, to Jesse.

This is the obvious, M5. The injury occurred/was diagnosed, after the discussion started. It obviously should change things, and move the discussion to the back burner. Which then comes back next year, his contract year. Possible players of interest ? >>> https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/to-fremantle-dockers https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/to-west-coast-eagles Lachie Neale is a restricted free agent in 2019_ for just one.
