He's a delicate cream but we don't even have a cake, best thing for both parties is a trade. Adios

    If he hasn't learned by now that body contact won't kill him and he has to keep his feet I don't think he will. Would make a standout state league/ammo player but you need more than talent to make it in the pros - you need the mentality and he does not have it.

    you need the killer instinct, to have the nasty edge to do what it takes. jack is just too nice a boy.

    The current voting is 87 votes for Keep, 87 votes for Trade.

    Only Watts could produce a perfect 50/50 split.

    People are bagging Frawley for his pathetic attack on the ball in the 2nd half of the season saying he has 'checked out'.

    Its a cancer in a team and causes others to say 'why should I be bothered chasing when my team mates don't' blah blah.

    Watts has been doing the same (but for different reasons). heart/desire/effort/intent/intensity - take your pick.

    He has to go.

    Amazed at how many posters dont understand cancer that infiltrates a team,And how hard it is to get rid of.

    Dont forget JW played a good quarter one day this year.Maybe it will reproduce itself next year.

    PR,im sure will cut out the cancer with no emotion whatsoever.If not we are rooted.

    I should have included another choice in the original question.

    Keep , unless a really good trade is offered

    That is ..might as well keep him unless something just too tempting is placed on the table.

    I dont expect any to do so , but I'll add it and if any want to change their vote they can.Its still a "keep'" just with a rider :)

    so you haven't really got the results you wanted? So you'd like to change the poll so you do...lol... Maybe your way of thinking is just not the way the majority here think...

    tatu, i doubt bb is trying to manipulate the poll, just trying to give reasonable options

    don't think he's too fussed whether others disagree with him or not

    youre an angry little man arent you

    DC summed it up well.

    If you were capable youd understand it was simply a choice not offered where as it ought to hace been I.e correcting an error.

    It wasn't about suggesting or imposing a view more about seeing what the board thought.

    Watts has always divided supporters and this bears it out. Really as simple as that.

    he has been pushing hard for a jack watts trade, for a while now... Then he made this poll, where the result opposes his view and now he'd like add new options?

    I suppose it could be merely a coincidence...lol...

    If Jack has a good game tonight, opinion will sway again. If he has a poor game, more people will rule a line through him.

    People change their view on Watts like no other player. The "swinging vote" is probably sitting at about 40% plus (not on this poll, but on how he is viewed generally)

    Many of us are torn between his potential and his actual output. He gets a lot more leeway because he was the no.1 pick and because Roos has tried to take the pressure off him (previously)

    Also, he's one of the best "kick to position" players on the list amongst a sea of poor disposers of the ball. The other important aspect is what we would get for him in a trade. We're almost compelled to keep him.

    It certainly does Macca. Hence a poll on him as opposed many an other player.

    Strangely and probably to a supporter all could not want more than Watts to play a screamer. It is after all about team success not individuals per se.

    tried that.. Makes life too boring...

    I was going to suggest we trade Watts to the Saints for a pack of Skittles and a can of Coke but I realise now that's way overs

    maybe a skittle?

    should have been dropped after the Swans game 4 months ago

    Opposition players just laugh at him, he is a joke. Least respected player in the AFL

  • Quote

    So far short of a decent AFL footballer. Trading him isn't the answer to all our woes, but if we can get a pick in the early second round for him it is a step in right direction.

    I agree. I don't think Watts will make it.

    He is slow off the mark. For a guy who tested well in the draft camp - he has shown very little of most attributes he excelled in.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
