The Australian reports this morning that Carlton is trying to entice Watts to the Blues.

Wont happen, simple as that

I just read this too. I think if Jack now comes out and tells Malthouse to politely go away, it could be a good show of faith for the club. If not, it could look pretty bad.

LOL

The Blues must be getting really desperate!

Why would they even bother.

The strange thing is you would think Neeld and Malthouse talk a lot , and perhaps Neeldy gave him some indication Watts wasn't happy.

I heard it on SEN..and I thought..Greg Denham..am i right!

And we will take Murphy.

Delusional scenarios are fun.

Let's look at things another way... Maybe Malthouse picked up that Neeld wasn't happy with Watts.

I am pretty sure MM mentored Watts this year. After MM made some unkind comment on Jack, jack sought him out as a mentor.

in the immortal words of Darryl Kerrigan: "tell em to get stuffed"

In other news, Lance Franklin will be traded if he and Hawthorn so desire.

No chance. Malthouse is as loopy as Sheedy. Dunham is just a rank, 2-bit journo.

Wow. Some of you are putting Watts on way too high a pedestal here.

Carlton would have to bring in another club to deal with because pick 11 won't pass the grade.

It won't happen. But there's a big thread on the main board where many 'landers were willing to trade him this month.

Tim and Andy said they had contacted Jack's manager and surprise, surprise it is a no story.

People are acting like Watts is comparative to Buddy and is untouchable. I like him a lot and I'd hate to lose him as I think he'll end up a very good player but if the price is right (in the eyes of the list management crew), you'd have to trust the club would make the right decision. The club is bigger than the individual.

To add to that, what the hell would we talk about on Demonland besides the frustration that is Jack Watts?

No. The point was, the article offers nothing to suggest we would trade him or that he would want to go. This could've written about any player in the league.

it would take a top 5 pick for me to even think about it.

Denham has just stated on SEN that the industry has been shocked by the amount of Melbourne players putting feelers out in the market place.

Yesterday he said, "Melbourne are doing high 5's because Shannon Byrnes was even prepared to tour their facilities. Please."

I do find it pretty funny. The only players wanting to leave are the players that don't see themselves as part of the future. And they're not part of the future because they either haven't bought in, or are not good enough.

Yeah, no mention of guys like Jones, Blease and Howe re-signing this year, even though all 3 could find new clubs in a second.

Pathetic Denham at it again. He is a moron.

Denhan just said lots of senior Melbourne players want to leave, a caller just asked him to name them but he dodged the question.

Why do I listen to this peanut?

Is this Chris guy with the high-pitched voice that calls in SEN Bluey?

I think WYL just rang in. Either him or Stuie

i'd be stoked to see Watts go. After watching the grand final, it's just scary to see Watts play in a game like that. His intensityand strength levels are way below afl finals football standard

Ive never even heard of him.,

Probably cos I don't listen to the radio I guess.
