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.

Watts....might well depend upon the deal offer , not just Jack , but the Club !!. Probability ?...very likely atm

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

Fair enough.

There is a fine line i agree. But at least it was interesting

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
