    They won't take just anything.

    Bear in mind Jack is on about $1m over the next two years. That will also be freed up if he goes.

    Hope u r right but I think we will end up paying some of his wage too which would make the trade even worse if it happens.

    Im not positive, but think the deal Port offering Jack usurps ours. I.e we're free after any trade. 

    Our contract doesn't continue if a better one's put into effect. Win win

    Would anyone do this deal for Watts if he goes to Port?

    Port give: Pick 30 and 33

    Dees give: Watts and 45

     

    That makes Watts the equivalent of pick 22. 

    Leaves us with: 28, 30, 33, 35 and 65

    Use 65 for Balic. Possibly package two of the second rounders to get further up the draft to give us the mandatory three selections.

    What he specifically said in response to the question about Balic was we both have "other priorities at the moment".  Interpret that how you like but it clearly indicates we are doing something else other than Balic. We all know Watts is in play so he may well only be talking about that but why would that hold up Balic. Whatever the Balic deal it won't be effected by the Watts deal.  So is it so extraordinary to interpret that statement  as there are other things in play as well. Or not. But maybe. But maybe not. Or perhaps. Or perhaps not. Whatever.........  

    So many words to say so little. 

    He also said we had no other deals we in the pipeline and we're happy to take our picks to the draft. 

    Naturally, believe what you want.

    Lets argue about it after 2pm next Thursday.  I think I'm hoping more than believing anything that comes out of anyone's mouth in this industry.

    Jump at it

    Watts is going, would love to see 2 picks in the 30's for him, then convert them into a higher pick. Obviously this is based on the recruiters saying they are happy to take our existing picks to the draft. Says they believe something is there.

    It's probably being a tad optimistic though, even with handing back 45

    It's obviously boring from a 'stories per hour' standpoint, but from our point of view: HOLY [censored] LEVER IS JOINING US. It only really sank in today. :)

    Announced this afternoon Motlop is off to Port for a lower deal than the Crows offered.

    Hmm seems no one is keen on the no class lot from SA

    It's all about market saturation and media coverage. AFL would probably prefer it went for 6 weeks.

    Apparently North  Korea are thinking of using trade radio over 6 weeks as a form of torture

    Exactly and it always ends up being anti-climatical. Sure the big trades might happen but the media just build the whole period up too much

    Trade week and now 'trade fortnight' always seems like prolonged [censored]-teasing to me. Can we have a left field trade already, please? Urgh. So boring. :D

    And everyone agrees it's too long. Football admins, the media and clearly the footballing public.

    Needs compressing to a week because seriously, as we all know, the bulk of conversations have been had in the weeks/months leading up to the period... I guess it would help if the whole system was a little more mature and transparent.

    where do we sign. that would be great. I back our recruiting staff to turn those picks into something.

    Bloke has played a couple of games a year for 5 years and article says Swans will need to be adequately compensated.

    Trade period is meant to be exciting?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
