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.

    Good to see that you & Jimi are getting used to the fact that he's gone.

    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:

     Menzel.  Blicvacs or whatever.  Stanley. 

    No  no no

    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.

    Are we still "up to our necks" in the Stringer trade?

    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?

    • 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.
