Ok so if Jack Watts gets put up for trade at the end of the year, what do you guys think is a fair realistic trade?

If GWS were interested I say a Taylor Adams straight swap would be fair.

How about Carlton? A Chris Yarran and a Tom Bell to sweeten the deal .

Lets remember Watts is key position forward not that easy to come by just ask Robert Walls. A former number 1 draft pick, has huge amount of upside and is improving every week. Is that to much to ask the Blues for Yarran and Tommy Bell? Am I floating on a cloud or do you guys think its fair?

How about Freo or GC? what could they offer?

Let me know what you think is fair and realistic. And who you think would be interested in Jack.

imo he is a required player, it would have to be a fantastic offer

Would do a Watts for Taylor Adams.

No to Yarran and Bell.

Yes to Sloane for Watts but Adelaide will tell us to fk off.

yarran will be offered as trade bait at the end of the season, and tom bell is a very very average football player, and really we have midfielders that would play ahead of him!

the idea of a trade is to strengthen our team, and by trading watts out i seriously doubt we will be able to get a trade that will strengthen our team.

Watts could well become one of the most adaptable players in our team not to mention is our best kick between 30-50 m when making a pass.

would not trade him, freo is the only serious option and it would be a serious midifielder who we would want to take off them!

Why would we trade him now just when he is beginning to find some confidence - he has been on the list for like 4 or 5 years. Even if we did want to trade him it would be best to wait another year (for trade value). It was only during the Brisbane game that I realised that he no longer looks like a school boy amongst men. I think he is just realising that himself (finally showing a little grunt).

Never been a watts fan (very frustrating) but I liked what I saw in the Brisbane game - just needs to get a little more of the pill and needs to study Viney. First time I saw this so called speed, agility and decision making of his.

Get a grip man!

Key position players don't grow on trees.

(you sound like an opposition recruiter fishing!)

"Key position players don't grow on trees."

But his not really a key position player - is he?

Will he ever be with Clark, Dawes, Hogan and Fitzy?

I think he will end up playing playing on the forward flank - but always be pushing up the ground - on the wing (like buddy and riewoldt except less of a key forward)

He just doesn't have enough grunt to be a key position player - he needs space and time

Unless Carlton give up Murphy or Gibbs then theres not much hope of them getting him (he is not a free agent and many clubs below the blues would take him if he enters the draft, including Melbourne.

The only possible way Watts may get there, is a combination of players/picks think Carrazo and their first round; or a 3 club trade which would probably involve one of Carltons rucks (think GWS, Geelong) - a possible suggestion would be Carlton ruck to Geelong, Geelong midfielder to Melbourne Watts to Carlton with the trading of picks to even it all up depending on players involved, NOTING in this trade Melbourne hold hand (we don't have to or likely want to trade Watts)

Can someone please tell me who MFC has traded in, who has been a star???

Beside Mitch Clark(and the jury is out and injuries)

I cannot think of anyone off the top of my head...

I don't know why everyone is besotted with trades?????

I wouldn't be looking to trade him at all. Players that can swing from forward to defence are becoming increasingly valuable. Just look at all the positive attention Ben Reid (24) and Lachie Henderson (23) have been getting of late. Both were drafted as key position forwards at pick 8 in their respect drafts, but played for years in defence, only to now become valuable in the forward line once again.

In the next 12 months I can see Watts become a similar yet even more versatile player. These types of players are becoming increasingly valuable, and I would argue more valuable than a mid like Yarran and Bell. Keep in mind that Henderson is being talked about as Carlton's most important player despite the presence of Judd, Murphy, Gibbs etc.

Reid, is probably in a similar position at Collingwood now that he is showing he can be a strong target in the forward line as well.

Watts is not a key position forward and we don't need him to be anymore. We just need him to be an extremely valuable swingman with skills to play all over the ground a la Brendan Goddard. That is more valuable that a Chris Yarran.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
