Didn't Zak only recently sign a new contract at the Swans?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    But has absolute influence on why he is still here

    • 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.
