I've heard a number of quite wealthy people say the same thing.Impossible to put the extra 40 grand into context, unless you have a starting point. Knocking back 40 is easy if you already earn 200. I would bet my left nut that if the reported figures are correct, then there simply must be some outside deals involved. No westerner in his right mind knocks back $700k, just to be 1hr closer to his parents. (and if he did, what a whimpy little mummies boy he must be). He could buy his own helicopter with the difference, and be at mums house for din dins every night.

I wish people wouldn't do that.

Please stop quoting the idiot, as its circumventing my ignore preferences. Thanks, faulty

Even as a wind up, that is comical. Terrible effort at becoming the new Nudge.

You are sounding hysterical DF.We all want Jack to succeed. Some of us dont think that will ever be with the Dees.

Read it again Jumbo. "Likely" agree?? People keep getting emotional over this bloke, when its really a waste of time. He has all the skills in the world, without the necessary level of application. The coaches can see it, but the delusional few on here cant, and if I want to call him out for it, I wont be asking anyones permission.

Jack Watts will continue to be a disappointment, until he is traded, or delisted. Most of us can already see that Jack does not have the necessary desire to put his body on the line in order to win the ball. That is a trait that is unacceptable if you want to play in the heat of finals football. If we had a midfield full of Dangerfields/Kennedys/Hodges/*Cripps', then we could carry a bloke like Jack for most of the season, for his undoubted skills. But we don't have anything close to that, and don't look like having that type of midfield in the foreseeable future. Therefore, we must have players all over the ground, who can get their own ball. Jack doesn't, or wont, because he cannot bring himself to maintain composure while under physical pressure. I don't need to compare him to any other player, for most others to understand, and likely agree with that opinion.

ohhhhhhhhh no he's not. That's his problem. He is not up for the physical side of AFL. If he had mongrel, to go with his undoubted talent, he would be , hmmmm, let me see. Jesse Hogan?

We will probably continue to see a key forward size player who still cant take a contested mark, and skirt the outside of packs waiting for someone else to get him the ball, but he will be a year older, and less valuable as a trade option. So yeah, you shouldn't be such a doubter. Of course some things will change.

If true, damn.I was really hoping he would get us some value from somewhere.

Here, have these, and sprinkle them through that post ,, ..,. Then run a spellcheck.

Watts, Howe & 6 for Hartlett, Prestia and 19? If it sounds like a good deal for us, then we haven't given enough away. Dream outcome. Then essedun would demand 19 for Melksham.

Wada, just, WADA I hate to see the bummers get any value from players who are about to be banned. They will be laughing their heads off with this trade. The delaying tactics, and stupidity from opposition recruiters, has really worked well for the cheating filth. *If by some chance they are found not guilty, I think he will be a handy player for us. Looks like we really are trying to rid ourselves of a soft underbelly, by bringing in competitors. Hope it works better for us, than it does for essedun.

Not a shot at you personally, but how could anyone trust the clubs judgement, with regards to a specific WADA outcome? WADA are not appealing for fun, or to fight a losing cause just to show the world that they will chase the accused all the way. They are appealing, bacause they feel that the essedun players are GUILTY of using illegal, performance enhancing drugs, which may end in a 2 year ban for all players involved. Melbournes heirachy cannot have any inside info, as this is not an episode orchestrated by the AFL, or its lackeys. If they are found not guilty, and we trade our third round pick for Milkman, then all is good, and I would be reasonably happy with that. BUT Trade anything higher, and have Melksham put out of the game for ANY length of time due to a guilty finding, and I would be up the front, leading the chorus of voices demanding that whoever orchestrated the trade, be run out of our club forever, and that includes the coach in waiting. Simply cannot believe that we are looking at anyone from essedun. And if the scummers actually did ask for first round pick and Howe, then I would settle for nothing less than pushing him through to the PSD, and giving a nice, oversized, lengthy middle finger to the filthy scum.

Nobody is perfect Chook. Keep 'em coming.

Im guessing that Dangerfield said he didnt want to play beside him. Just my take.....

Ok, so they dont read the supporters webites (or so we are told), but I just wonder whether a player would get just a small kick out of being named the best, by the more rabid / avid supporter groups? Well done Bernie, so nice to see a trade-in perform like you did this year. Very good form, and keep up the aggression. faulty *can see Hogan dominating this, as early as next year.

Brainiac. I just couldnt think of a reason myself.

AFL really needs to allow clubs to trade without permission. Far too player biased right now.

Agree, whats the fuss about? Looks like mrs average. Liked the look of White, and was surprised at his size. Its nice to have another option off half back, but can he play a shutdown role? Picket?

Post of the day. Champion missus gets a gold medal.

This is the sort of game where Melbourne are typically insipid, and the usual crew are happy to accept another loss, citing the usual excuses. I expect today will be more of the same. Giants by 30

Geez those boys could play

I actually think he has very good skills, so yeah, he wouldnt fit in with us at all.

thanks Fish. Im sitting at a bar on the beach at Subic Bay, and now the bar staff think im crazy. Made me laugh out loud at that one.
