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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

Ive never even heard of him.,

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

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
