Think talks are progressing nicely, our two main targets were landed long ago.

However, cant help but get the feeling we are pushing hard for a FA or gorilla minder to complete our backline.

As I said weeks ago Watts is 90% gone we just have to get the right deal to make it happen. Stringer not off the cards but think he is looking elsewhere for the right club that can offer him support off the ground.

Jesse going nowhere, boys and girls.

MFC has demanded at least pick 2 and Freos first rounder next year for Jesse. This is why Freo offered Weller and 5, for The Suns' pick 2. This will then be sent to us for Hogan along with their 2018

The club has someone else in their sights big time. Not Lever, that deal is done. I'll let you know if I can find out more

You have to be joking. Surely. If so well played. the key to a comedic role is staying in character.

If not joking i'm not sure what to think?  Stringer not off the cards? For the dees? Or do you mean he is still gambling?

He never was on the cards at the demons and never will be.  Looking for a club that can offer him support off the ground? Suitors are falling away like the zeros on Stingers next contract. The last club standing seems to be the bombers. And haven't they had just a brilliant history of looking after the welfare of it's players.

All that said i will give you the Watts prediction.

We have a women's team but reading an article last night, too old according to his fiancé . A big no!

Lever and ... ? Do you still think Gaff?

We still have to satisfy both clubs. I can't see, the way things stand at the moment, how we can satisfy both clubs.

If we can get pick 6 for Watts & pick 10, we might be able to add it to a third rounder for Lever and save a second rounder. But a mid-second-rounder won't be enough for Gaff, and apart from Hogan, I can't see who we've got that WCE would want. Kent and a second rounder is unders for Gaff.

Some might think you are being a tad generous by saying Watts, Pick 10 and 3rd round pick, in exchange for Lever.

Goodwin just interviewed on pre-game coverage for the Grand Final on change 7. He was quite open when asked about trades.

Asked about Lever, said we were obviously interested and if Crows win they would give him a few days to celebrate before they contact him. Joked his manager probably won't call him for a few days too while he celebrates.

Asked about Watts, said the club was happy for Jack to explore his options but was welcome back at the club if he didn't find what he was looking for. They then mentioned Watts was in Port Adelaide seeing their facilities and having some meetings and what he thought of that. Goodwin said he was happy for Jack to explore his options, as he's had 9 years at MFC and a lot of pressure to deal with. Said a different environment may be good for him.

Based off that interview, Watts is gone. 100% gone if the club get a decent offer. Lever is a clear target for us and we are probably a fair way down negotiating that move. Both Watts out and Lever in seem to be pretty much done deals.

My gut says Lever is a formality awaiting happening.

Interesting. Have never heard a club speak like this.

Modern football. Seems he is gone though.

I'd love him to say to Goody, 'I'm not going anywhere and I'm going to work my ass off and help lift this club'. Instead it seems he is content to just move on instead.

on that basis it is over ...no question

The only way Jack will stay is if no one wants him and that is not really a good result for anyone including Jack.

To say I am not happy about Goodwin's management of Jack is an understatement

I'm happy with it. He sets standards and what he wants a player to put in. The crows have zero top 10 picks and they are in a Grand Final. They've built that on club culture which trumps talent every day of the week.

They would if that's what I said.

Watts and pick 10 go to Pies for their pick 6. Then we use pick 6, which by my calculation is better than pick 10, and a third rounder to get Lever. See?

It IS what you said

 

Out: Pick ten, Watts, 3rd rounder

In: Lever.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
