Sydney supposedly into Watts, we want a second rounder is what has been reported via trade radio.

SEN said that 20-25 would be fair for Watts. Be interested to see what we get for him (although still in shock that we are throwing him away).

    Throwing him away? You don't think some of the blame for this lays at his feet as well?

    Jesus Adelaide, stop being so greedy.

    yet Gibbs is not worth 2 first rounders on the flip.

    Intriguing that three players from their grand final team in Level, Sloane and Cameron might be out. GWS sound like they are about to make some big changes as well. 

    Just goes to show that making finals exposes holes in your list perhaps even more than missing finals altogether.

    Yeah, just read Wilson, Smith and Kennedy have all requested trades.

    Don't mind Wilson, can't remember the poster but a few weeks back it was said he would seek Fremantle.

    Heath Shaw may also be on the way out of GWS.

    Heath Shaw is finished at AFL level. He'd be on big coin, so they are better off without him.

    OK I thought the other way around, thought they were all leaving because of something. On phone but apparently some big bomb about to drop at midday, not sure which club.

    I hope it's not Lever nominating Collingwood.

    Not having a shot but i don't get why people don't want GWS to thrive.

    Once the decision was made to go down that path (and leaving aside the debate about the merits of that decision) it became critical that GWS succeed. Huge challenge to do so in that market but the AFL have committed for the long haul and if the GWS don't get embedded and achieve sustained success they will be a massive drain on the rest of the competition for decades. 

    The other issue - and is a big one - is that a  key performance indicator of the investment in GWS is growing the number of people playing Australian Rules Football. If that pool is not growing the AFL will have issues with having enough elite AFL ready players to spread across 18 sides. If GWS are not regularly winning finals it will be difficult to continually increase the participation rate in NSW and develop talent via the academies and regional investment.  .

    I disagree, i think his 2016 and 15 were good. This year it was dissapointing how it started, but i think he got back into the swing of things before his injury.

     

    EDIT: I should add, no player plays perfect for 22 games. 2016 Jack was a big part of our forward line. 

    Sloane out of Adelaide.  Massive news

    I guess my biggest gripe is we bottomed out when they got all their draft picks, they had something like 11 of the first 15 picks. However we certainly had our chances and blew it. My other concern is, I think the league would be better suited to less teams and more talent (less diluted), then chuck in Scully lol. I like their song though and it's now up to the club to deliver for once. (totally off topic post).

    • 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.
