I'm hearing a very strong rumour that a straight swap of Watts for Zak Jones is on the cards.

There is no chance of this happening.  Jones is rated very highly at Sydney and his currently rated much higher than Watts

And Watts signed a new contract with us (so that levels the negotiations)!

I disagree that it is much higher. Watts was former #1 pick and has sublime skills. If Sydney work on his negatives they potentially have a Goodes player on their list. Zac is no Superstar and it could well work out to be a Win-Win outcome!

I think Fyfe is coming to Melbourne after having a coffee with Hogan.

They were teleconferencing with JW who was convincing Fyfe to join Hogan and him down at Geelong with Ablett and Dangerwood

Where Watts was drafted 9 years ago has zero influence on his current market value.  

Zero.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Of course Zac Jones is worth more than Jack Watts, even if only for the fact that his club actually wants him to stay there.

The fact that he was a number 1 pick has no bearing on value.

[Ethan Tremblay 31,166]

Zak Jones for Watts sounds like someone’s trolling to me. 

[deelete my account 1,194]

How disappointed will you all be if we're only trading watts for a pick to get the Lever deal done and nothing more? Seems like the most likely.

Finally a rumour! Even if its fake its made my day.

I disagree! He was #1 based on the majority consensus of his potential (albeit some unrealised at this stage)! I think that if both FDs look at a swap logically that they may come to the conclusion that it could work well for all parties.

Any update on your rumour @Siren??

I thought he gave an update on the midfielder and said it was Balic.

True but it has a big influence on a lot of posters here who are bitterly disappointed he wasn't the messiah and so pour more crap on him than is justified.

His B&F finishes each year tell the whole story

Jack poured crap on his own career 

He had the skills to be anything....

I can understand us asking the question, but can’t see the Swans agreeing.

precisely - he finished somewhere in the middle when messiah acolytes expected him to be in the top 3 or better and can't get over the fact that he was just a naughty boy.

Bartel for Watts 

[rpfc 28,832]

Can we at least get Bartel checked by the Richmond doctor? Kick the tires a bit? Great player.
