  1. Maybe because the coaching message was stupid.
  2. Oh no - two of those were "the wind" as Goodwin pointed out. His theory was to bomb long into it and then let the opposition force stoppages when we had the gale at our backs. Two terrible coaching efforts-really very poor-and Jack Watts was in the team perhaps but you can chalk the Hobart and Canberra debacles down to Goodwin.
  3. If we trade Watts and don't win a flag the above is going to look like a picnic
  4. Watts has given us about 150 games in his time and played in spudley teams. Stynes and Jako played in very competitive eras. Watts is being shown the door for training and preparation issues so the point stands.
  5. 2 games is 8 points. When all the others froze and went into their shells. How about Hannans 18 quiet games.? Frosts dogs? Lewis' nonentities/stupid suspension Hogans lack of effort/nothing games Vinces' turnovers resulting in losses Tom Macs terrible days? Jetts 9-12 touch games for 7 years Gawns shockers? Petraccas cameos/disappearing act. Dysons pinpoint opportunity passes? You don't trade the most accurate set shot in the competition for a second round pick who will never win you a game.
  6. Watts is better than about ten of the above players -that's why I'll be taking up yoga on weekends next year if we trade him.
  7. I've just had to block all my gay friends on Facebook-they're no longer funny-just a bunch of self righteous pansies who are trying to destroy the patriarchy. When I'm king of Australia I'll be re-introducing the Eunuch court and they can go back to knitting. Never flying Qantas again.
  8. I liked it when he won that game against Gold coast in 2016 when everyone was crap.Then that game he won against Collingwood,then ran back to save the same game. But winning is so over rated in football-it's about your effort on a Monday night and your preparation for Tuesdays training session. BTW-Jim Stynes was the worst trainer we had alongside Allen Jakovich-another pair of absolute hacks.
  9. Too much corporate claptrap. He needs to lay more tackle, chase harder and help creat turnovers instead of being a receiver. Simples
  10. he got more touches than a starlet auditioning for a Weinstein production.
  11. Your delivery is imminent DC- My God you are costing me a fortune in soy sauce fish bottles. Would it be a problem if i delivered you a 40 gallon drum?
  12. can't see us expending 162 pages of drivel on a future pick 20-30. was is Sam Warner that said "The kid stays in the picture".
  13. Tom Rockliffe won't come cheap either. Given that Port are bogan scum and Watts wants to stay in Victoria I can see Watts and his manager crossing their arms, facing the camera and saying "No Deal".
  14. You've discounted Stamp duty, and real estate agents fees. So a loss overall.
  15. I can clearly see why you call yourself Stretch.
  16. With that logic I'm going to put the house on Winx . But only for a place.
  17. Jung would have referred to it as the shadow. So thanks for your input. Unhelpful as it usually is.
  18. If there was no truth to it you may not have reacted so vehemently. It's more to do with personality formation than physique-but if you missed that point it wouldn't surprise .
  19. It's interesting to look at Goodwins football life and reflect on why he has taken this step. Short,small,late developer, with little or no chance of being selected at AFL level at 17. Watts was tall athletic ,skilled and starred for Vic Metro-had a huge spotlight shone upon him. Watts makes friends easily and has a beaming smile.Has made plenty of mistakes and gets made to pay for them. Goodwin was involved at Essendon during the drugs saga, had a severe gambling addiction and faced the abyss before Roos picked both men up and re-ignited them. Roos is a superior spiritual being and I hope /wish he would call them both and put this thing in it's proper perspective . There is some short mans syndrome evident in Goodwins actions. There is a millionaire attitude to Watts ,perhaps because he has never had to fight as hard as Goodwin did for his career. I will view it as a failure by Goodwin if Watts leaves.I can think only of the roar of the crowd next year if when Watts DOES crunch tackles of take pack marks, or make desperate saves in defence. I'm still hoping it's with us. Forlorn as the hope might seem.
  20. I've been reliably informed that Jack is definitely leaving........... the cafe.
