Grgic was better than Watts.

And wouldn't T Mac or Garlo Or Danny Boy love to remind him of his error :rolleyes: if such was the case.

I must admit Ive gone from radical supporter to fence sitter to quite frankly disenfranchised from this kid.

Stay you stay , go you go. But Stay, pull your socks up lad

If you were into conspiracies and such you might by extension take this as a NO from Roos.

or maybe he just likes his sugar Daddy Mickey more ? lol

Until anyone signs something it all up for grabs I suppose.

So little Jackie joins the likes of Green, Davey, Moloney, Sylvia and who can forget Bruce in thinking they are Mr F"n Marvellous and play funny buggers.

Jackie would look quite resplendent in a Northern Bullants guernsey I feel. :rolleyes:

A pick in the 50s which we spent on Brad Miller.

It was a bit more complex than that from memory. Farmer went to Freo and we got pick 17 for him. We traded that and Grgic to Geelong for Bizzell and the pick we subsequently used on Miller.

Watts might garner the Scums 2nd rnd pick, if we were lucky

I'd rather make him go into the draft and see him end up at GWS than accept a second round pick, the pies made us give up 20 for dawes, surely Watts is a much better prospect than him, maybe we include steak knives and get their first round pick?

although i don't believe for a second this is a done deal, last week PJ said he would be surprised if Watts wasn't a demon next year, both parties obviously believe they're a chance.

if hes no use to us you maximize a return with best trading.

Anything else is juvenile nose lancing.

Not impossible to get their first rounder I think, we might have to sweeten a little though.

Watts and our third rounder for their first?

Watts and Tapscott for their first and third round picks?

Might be pushing it, not sure Tapscott has much, if any value to be honest.

I wouldn't mind holding on to Tapscott to see what he could do under another coach. Not the case with Watts though.

They have plenty of running types, if we took boyd at pick 1 maybe we could trade Watts and Fitz to them and get their first round pick and a player in return?

I'd only trade one of Watts or Fitzy tbh. If we traded both that would leave us with Dawes, Hogan, an iffy Clark and possibly Boyd, which might not be enough.

Watts for Yarran?

Not sure he's the type of player we're really after mate, their first round pick would get us Sheed or Crouch which would be a huge step in the right direction for us.

If this eventuates, and it happens that we are in the position to pick Watts up in the draft, is this allowed? Are there rules against picking up a player who wont re-sign?

I think we can take anyone who nominates for the draft, we wouldn't waste a pick on someone who doesn't want to play for us though.

Dees need to play hardball on this. Its about time we set a standard on this type of things that players cant just walk. If he goes for next to nothing whats going to stop others who start getting ideas.

What are you suggesting we do? Make him an offer he can't refuse?

The idea of trading/packaging Watts and landing pick 9 would be fantastic, imo. The chance to off load this prima donna for a mid like Dunstan, Crouch, Dumont, etc would be brilliant.

I think many are quite wishful thinking we will budge #9 away from the Scum

They wont pay overs

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
