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

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.

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?

 

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
