One of my favourites from the Bailey/Neeld era. Fondly remember Garlo and Chip toweling up Fev and Jonno Brown in 2010. Had go-go gadget arms in his prime.

Ripping bloke with plenty of talent but not the sort of gung-ho animal the club wants atm. Weve got others on the list who crack in with more passion so were moving him out to make some cap space for a crack at a free agent next year perhaps? All speculation, but thats my read on it.

Huh?? Whats the whisper there?

I hope we retain himif thats the best offer going.

Worst thread ive seen for a loooooong time. Typical MFC supporter syndrome - have gotten too accustomed to the highlight of the year being draft day so cant bare to see picks traded. My opinion on the trades are completely the opposite

Alot of speculation in this thread. Boils down to the FD believing TMAC is more value than Watts in the forward half. Not sure whether id trade him for a pick higher than 20 but can see why the club are interested in whether there are deals to be done. I hioe he stays, but wouldnt be upset if we got a 15-25 range pick for him or a best 22-30 range player

Doubt it tbh. Would love him to stay but hes not going to be an out and out world beater all of a sudden this late in his career

10+ years of membership and even though im a Watts fan wont change me re-signing. Tbh trading beamer and brock hurt more!

The fact we are going for Lever and asking Watts to assess his options suggests we see Tom as a forward in 2018. Iteresting times

Our teams form over the past few months has been pretty average. We coukdnt beat the pies, end of story. We peaked against the odds in the midst of a heap of injuries. But when the guys came back we never found the spark. Hate the Eagles but credit where its due - they ran GWS close last week and beat the top side the week after. Sure they didnt have the best year but they won the game when it mattered.

Goodwin did a good presser. I agree that we need to improve a hell of alot to be a good finals side. I hope luck falls our way and we make it, but on the last few weeks of form we will be out of the race pretty quickly eitherway.

Dee-saster Go Freo Go Crows

I always rated him, but hated him when he was at the Bombers. Always kicking goals and bobbing up when his team needed him. Good trade, even when you consider the 1 year wait to play a match for us.

LOL WYL just won the internet ?

IMO crows have plenty to play for. They just lost to Sydney and will want to head into finals with some winning form. Pies should have a few out injured. Dees with everything to play for. Hopefully the Hawks beat the dogs too

Gald we should make finals BUT on recent form we'll be makong up the numbers only. Having said that Viney, Watts and Frost and Salem all to come back with a bit more hunger should give us the class we've been lacking. Also cheers to Hogan. Have been sick of people saying hes a 2-3 goal forward.

Are you him, or a close mate or relative?!

He got a plate inserted so i assume that means his bone is secured and willheal on its own accord now regardless or impacts etc. Probably leaves it just down to pain etc

If Goody wants him in I have no problems with him going straight into the AFL side. We've missed him in the side, and i dont think the incident was as bad as some have said

Been on crutches after every game sice he returned from surgery. Precautionary measure to help manage the wound before match day i believe. Having said that, i would support giving him either the lions or pies games off to give him some extra healing time if possible

Never

Lewis has been huge. People who cant see this are just butt hurt that we didnt get a guy in his prime. Has been more consistant than Viney and played more games than Jones. Top 5 b and f i suspect on the back of a very strong 2nd half of the year. Hibbo will also be up there, massive impact from both of them.

In: Stretch, Saelm Out: Petracca (rested), Viney (rested) Gut feel/speculation - Viney could do with a break from loading his injury. Petracca needs a freshed up too. Goodwin sounded reasonably happy with Weidman in his presser

In: J.Wagner, A.Brayshaw, S.Weideman, M.Hannan Out: S.Frost, C.Salem, J.Watts, C.Maynard Not disgusted by these changes, but including Wagner (at Salem's expense?) surprises me. Looked off the grade in his last match. Frost has improved out of site this year but has been loose. If T-Mac goes back and Weideman, Pederson and Hannan are used as the main targets in the 50 I can see a reasonable structure to play with. To say Weideman will play better than Watts is a big call by Goodwin, but given Hogan isn't in the side Sam can play as the #1 target in the 50; a role which he has been playing for Casey and arguably a role which Watts is not suited to. Goodwin isn't going to die wondering!

Everyone wants success now, but supporters 'demanding it' (not even sure what this is, other than people being impatient and childish online) won't change the results of the next 3 matches, or change a thing about the way the club heads into next season.
