Venom Denim just reported on SEN that Nth Melbourne approached Melbourne wanting to trade a second round pick for Watts.

Apparently the coach was not adverse to the idea,but they ran out of time to get the deal done.

Denim goes further saying Watts is on the outer at Melbourne and may not be there next year.

Personally i think its rubbish that Watts is on the outer,but quite possible that North tried to snare him.

North may have gone for him but I doubt there would have been a trade for a second round. Wouldnt North have tried to package him the Pedo / Gys trade?

Absoulute Garbage, denham just makes stuff up to agitate Melbourne supporters, it's the only thing he has got in the world of too many AFL journos.

Clearly a pile of poo.

At his height and weight needed time and at the age of 21 (22 in March) is going to have a breakout year this year.

More Melbourne stirring.

Jack Watts looked pretty happy in photos i have seen this week.

Don't believe Jack is on the outer.

Melbourne supporters should write to all the companies that advertise on SEN when Denham is on and tell them that we're going to boycott their products until he is removed from the station.

I wish I got paid to make up sh!t.

There is quite a gap ( actually a gaping chasm) between an approach to the club and "almost traded".

Did all this happen before or after we offered to on trade the second round pick we would have gotten for Watts to Hawthorn for Buddy and Cyril?

Wasn't Watts going to Carlton?

I have it on authority that the club believes Watts will get there so I doubt Denham's comments. Denham HATES the dees. Hates to the point where its personal.

I know someone who used to play golf at the same course as Watts and it used to be a running joke that if he spent as much time on AFL as he did on his golf game he'd be doing ok. But this wasnt a serious comment - just a running joke.

Personally if we lost Watts I wouldnt be really cut up about it. I do rate him and believe that he will get there. I dont see a superstar but I do see potential and flare. But there are players that if we lost id be more worried about. Watts just needs more coffees before a game - get him a bit more excited!

Wasn't Watts going to Carlton?

dunno, ask venom

Watts will play out his career at Melbourne.. End thread..

I cant wait to meet this nobody and just give him absolute verbal trashing.

Only problem is ill need to carry around a picture of him because I dont no what the hell he looks like.

I have it on good authority that Denham was going to be traded to Kazakhstan Radio National (KRTastic).

They love the stuff that comes out of his mouth because they can sell it to their farmers. SEN were prepared to accept a partly digested egg-roll. Win-win!

Carlton inquired and we said hands-off. It went no further.

I think the reason why these journalistic hacks tend to [censored] us (though some of it is deserved) and ignore the 'power clubs' is yet again a question of access. Let's take Collingwood for example. There are rumors that one of their biggest players is running off the rails and one of their younger players has been done for assault. Eddie McGuire is the head of that organization and theoretically, some of the blame should sit with him. Would Denham or Caro ever suggest that? No, because they know that Eddie knows how the media game is played and while some people take a shot at him occasionally over his ego, they will never go in as hard as they do against us or the Roos. In the bigger scheme of things, we are irrelevant when compared to Collingwood. Only when the poo really hits the fan will they roast them as they really have no other recourse. When it is a slow news day, we cop the short end of the stick.

Pure BS

The suggestion that they ran out of time is ridiculous, the trade period went for a month ffs. He's a nasty piece of work.

Greg "the tool" denham

the bloke is a dead set joke and anything that comes out of his mouth is dribble.

I think Frawley, McDonald, Watts could be the best tall back combo going around in a couple of years.

Could be right mate but I see something in Sellar as well.
