Has re-signed with the club not sure of the details but lock him in after a break out year edit: seems to be two more years mod edit: This is now CONFIRMED.

I suspect the dogs losing given there % rules them out if we win tomorrow. Its a race in three for two spots with us, essendrug and meth coast. We are still very much in the box seat even if we drop one of our two games I'd expect us to make it now as I doubt meth coast will win another and bombers are a game behind

Williamstown look so much more clean in tricky conditions and that's the difference at the moment. Casey look really dangerous when they can get it forward though. Watts is clearly a class above.

If we beat Brisbane by 40-50 points the % should get us over the line so long as we don't get belted by the pies

Because he's inconsistent. We'd probably get a late first round pick to an early second round if we were lucky, but watts is one of our best match winners

Watts is a class player and I find the suggestions of trading him amusing to be honest. We are not going to get anything as good as jack in return. And his best is clearly in our best 10 players

I'd probably swap weid and watts and that's about it. We should be to strong all over the ground over four quarters but they are far from a bad team

Taylor refused to talk to us when he was searching for a new home, sadly I suspect he isn't smart enough to realise that was a mistake now

If we could get him for next to nothing I think he's an upgrade on ben Kennedy and improves our depth.

If hogan plays again before finals he is super human. That's a jack Viney like effort and will be playing in pain.

He has been ultra consistent all year. And I think he'll improve quite a lot when he improves his kick to handball ratio because he's a beautiful kick. Scary how good he could become

we need watts in form to impact in finals. Simple as that

I work with three saints supporters and they were so upset to lose, they think their team has gone backwards and I agree with them. What was most pleasing from my point of view is that was a finals like game and our boys basically all stood up, while the saints had a handful who played okay

I actually think he's been going okay. Not setting the world on fire but doing some nice things, bit like harmes on the weekend his turn for a lick of the ice cream will come

Weid competed really well, I suspect goody would have just wanted him to provide a target and give the smalls a chance. Id be reluctant to change the side. Have to take the lions as seriously as the saints, if we turn up thinking it's already won they will beat us easily.

Will watts also get some Casey time?

It's the Age I reckon, a young team that's being told to play on and attack will revert to bombing long if they don't see a really obvious option open up, it's why we look fantastic at times and awful and predictable others. With experience we will get better at knowing when to go and when to hold it up. The reason I think we will play the saints is 1. Their form has been awful they have only fallen over the line vs the eagles in the last four weeks. They have roo out of the game as well as joey both normally destroy us.

Rewoldt is In serious doubt to play at all. they will also be without armitidge and Montagna its also at the G which the saints struggle to defend. Our strength is we should have a lot of potential goal scorers and lots of depth through the middle. The two biggest threats they have are membrey and Steven. I'd be happy for jetta to play a shut down role on membery we desperately need jack Viney and jack watts back to their best to win this game and go on and make finals. I think we'll definitely see hannan back in the side, not sure on brayshaw

I'll seen zero information from anyone I know involved in the mfc or anywhere else that suggestes there is a micro of truth to the idea we'd shop Jesse hogan around, I doubt we'd accept the deal for lever and McGovern. Jesse is a freakish talent who if he'd played all year without the injuries and off field stuff would probably be top 3 in the Coleman and we'd probably be locked In the 8, he's been a massive loss and we will be so much better in 2018 with him back in the side

The club is in huge trouble and if I were an assistant I'd think twice before taking the job. I think they do need to look at the transition model if nothing else just to get 5 years of the same thing without the temptation to sack someone again

Someone tell Oliver and petracca we want to see more kicks than handballs from them, both are beautiful kicks but choose to handball instead way to often.

Mistake 1. Was trying to make sense of ENYAW

josh Kelly would look fantastic in red and blue.
