Reckon if Watts choses to go we go for a young ish player and maybe a shuffling of picks to get it done and land a Zac Jones type . 

We should not trade watts imo but if so it better be a good trade .

    Revelation is overstating it.  I don't mind him, but he's a foot soldier, and replaceable.  

    Ok maybe not a revelation - but he's shown more improvement this year than most on our list. Great asset, shouldn't be anywhere near trade talk at this stage IMO

    If the Cats want Watts I would be asking for Jake Kolodjashinij or Pick 20.

    Kolodjashnij is a risk. He's got good skills and moves well but is still panicky under pressure and prone to momentum killers. We've got enough of those is Harmes, Bugg etc. would need to be confident that we can work that out of his game

    Why on earth are people in here talking about trading ANB?!?! He was a revelation this year ...

    Because he is expendable and to make us better we need to offer up players that clubs may have some interest in.  I think ANB is being mentioned to help the Lever Deal if needed.  Make no mistake the reason why Watts is looking for a new home is he has some trade value.

    It would be the absolute heist of the year of Macrae asked to be traded to us.  I can't see it happening though.  If his problem is with "bad eggs" at the Bulldogs, their management would let the lot of them go (Stringer, Biggs and whoever else) before they let Macrae walk.  

    It's a nice dream though.

    "Whoever else" would be Libba.

    Despite his immense value to the team when he's playing well, my Bulldog mates here out west tell me that the clud would be open to moving him on.

    And apart from JV, I can't think of any other player who so much epitomises Goody's ideal type. He'd be the closest thing to having two Jack Vineys.

    Watts for Libba?

    Libba back to his best is a machine...

    Needs a change of clubs like Jack.

    Yep.  It'd be pointless if we traded out Watts for "standards" reasons, then brought in another player who is on the outer of his club for other off-field reasons.

    Melbourne is in a development state where culture and standards are still being set.  It's the wrong time to be bringing in players who could negatively influence the culture, so I'd be surprised if we were at all interested in any of the troubled dogs, no matter how good they are at football.

    Libba is his own worst enemy. Amazing player when on song, problem is his song of choice is hazy:

    Ffs. Watts is 10x a better player.

    of course Dangerfield would welcome a classy tall forward. Cats can get stuffed.

    Be ready to be surprised. If we are at all interested - information is gold. The real secondary target is elsewhere.

    Not a good sign being delisted from the dorkers- smacks of being NQR.

    Does this work?

    We trade pick 10 to Adelaide, Watts to Geelong and Daniel Motlop goes to Adelaide?

    Obviously with Lever coming to the Dees.

    Or is that big overs?

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
