Ron, this idea that you appear to have around Goodwin is based off his decision to finally move on Watts for the benefit of player and club. In my opinion (and I know we're all at different levels on this) it should be considered as gutsy and with a clear understanding of the situation. Goodwin's CV is impeccable. Watts is not.

In the lead-up to the GF?? Seems unlikely and pretty illogical to be fair.

I'm starting to lean against bust and wouldn't be surprised if he decides to stay.

Then why'd you even bother traveling to Adelaide in the first place?!

Listening to Healy OTC tonight speak about Watts leaving. Implied that it's not a given and that he still might decide to stick around. Wonder what discussions if any he's had with Jones considering they're buddies..

Haha. Me too...

Mate, if you're relying solely on an Internet forum to excite you I suggest you start looking for alternatives.

I think you're making too much of this too mate. Chaplin played for them just recently so you can hardly blame him for still having a close affinity to the Tigers.

I'm conditioned to lowering my expectations.

I'm feeling particularly uneasy about this upcoming trade period. It's either going to go very well or blow up spectacularly in our face. Just can't see it being a meh scenario.

@old dee will be pleased.

Great analysis, Deespencer. Do you see a coincidence that Richmond played a very similar game to what we played in our win over Adelaide?

I was interested to hear that the conversation between Reiwoldt and Cotchin was such a driving force behind the season for them. I think it was Cotchin who said that JR had said to him at the end of last year "I can't see myself ever being part of a Premiership" or something similar. Coupled with the public disclosure by Hardwick himself that he wasn't listening and was too autocratic, it sounds as though the whole club managed to completely sort its [censored] out and the results are there for all to see. I wouldn't mind the idea of Reiwoldt and Cotchin having a catch-up with Watts and Jones to discuss such dynamics.

Wasn't he in Bali last week?

3rd round pick?

Wherever he ends up I hope that clubs fan forum beefs up its admin dept.

From the AFL site: Watts Cycle Goodwin again going public on Watts saying that hardly anything has changed over the years. I can't see Jack wanting to stay at all.

I just want Jack Watts gone so we can stop talking about him. It's exhausting.

Watched that again and I reckon Pyke (when the camera went to him) was fairly [censored] at Walker for such a lame effort.

Walkers speech as pathetic as the Crows performance

Don't think so either. Home now.

If I was a Richmond supporter I'd still be feeling nervous. 12 minutes can see 5 goals kicked easily.

I don't think the umps have been too bad in regards to one-sidedness. No howlers.

Fox Footy picks up the slack.
