Demons ask for priority pick - any other woofers outraged?

I'd take Watts in a heartbeat (if the price was right). Play him through the middle and off half back, and benefit from his foot skills.

He wouldn't be a number draft pick wasted by us, just an ordinary player recruited for a reasonable price expected to perform a role. He and Melbourne are cooked from an expectation versus output point of view. It's time he had a change of scenery.

How would you fix his lazyness and not wanting to put his body on the line and find his own ball? If Paul Roos can't, well........

To me he is a downgrade on Higgins, despite being taller and being a number one pick.

What makes Paul Roos so great? It's not as if he has a perfect record in turning attitudes around.

I look at Watts in the same way I assume other clubs might look at Jones, perhaps a change of scenery will have a positive impact on their effort. Also, Melbourne's been a disgraceful club for a long time and I can't imagine how demoralising it must have been to have been a player there for these past six or seven years.

The Paul Roos Adulation Society does a wonderful job. Best PR machine in the business.

Smart move in my opinion, would you want to be in the room alone and tell Baz he is sacked.

Not sure Barry deserved anymore than that.

Re: Demons ask for priority pick - any other woofers outraged?

I too have heard about the alleged text. It's also been said that without consulting Barry further he announced Barry's retirement at a press conference.

I guess it takes two to tango and by the end of his time there he had burnt quite a few bridges.

Not saying it's right, but there'd be a lot more to it than Roos just texting him.

Lots of media today saying Melbourne will use pick 2&3 to get Dangerfield.
Two problems with this ...
1. That is serious overs
2. Who says Melbourne get pick 3 for Frawley?

Repeatedly broke rules and disgraced the club too.
