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.

    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!

    Redleg, did you really need to ask? DaveyDee is a metamorphosis of Stuie, GNF and Nudge.

    ...

    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.

    At least those 3 posted interesting stuff unlike most of the crap on this thread....

    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.

    If he was 100% gone Goodwin would not offer the carrot to stay if he wants...

    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.

    • 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.
