It's fine it's only his 15th of the afternoon.

Think they would be more upset about his suit.

Trading Watts is going to be one of the most instrumental, logical and positive things this Club has done for decades.

I’d trade him for pick 120.

You're kidding yourself. 

The bloke is now the difference between us and a flag?

I am assuming that is what is the conclusion of 'instrumental, logical, and positive' things would be?

We need to beat teams like Freo at home, NM beat us twice, and in the biggest game in a decade we start like that against Collingwood?

We are fast running out of excuses and are about to be plum out of scapegoats come Monday. I hope Nate Jones and the boys are ready for the real acid in 2018. I expect top 4 and I expect to win or be beaten by an amazing team.

The more I hear about Jack the more I understand how it has come to this. His partying is at another level and his application is poor. He is also a victim of his own popularity in that he is highly influential with the younger players. Also it seems he is quite immature and has no insight into how his behaviour may be impacting on his performance. As much as I like him he has to go. I only hope the deal is reasonable.

It's never one player, but they are often the catalyst. You could easily argue that Vickery leaving Richmond filled a cultural and standards gap that he was causing.

Biff, I’m still trying to come to terms with how serious you’ve been with this topic.

Wattsy’s a dud. Has been for long time.

Watts isn't worth a first-rounder.

Never said he was.  I was responding to someone saying we should package Watts with our 2nd Round pick to get Pick 14 off Port.  To which my response was Port don't have Pick 14 or any any 1st Round pick if you read my post.

FMD if that’s what you’ve come up with.

Jack Watts in-or-out relates to our chances of a Flag?

Taking the pizz?

unless he was a trumpeter

maybe he has musical fluidity, in which case we shouldn't be discriminatory but inclusive for the sake of diversity

perhaps we should move onto a flugel as distinct from a mere bugle .... far more in keeping with the blazer and handkerchiefed pocket look

A pick between 20-26, without us having to pay his salary. A pick in the 30s with us eating some of his salary sucks.

Yeah I reckon we would want a pick 20-25 other clubs would be willing to pay 30-35. So a pick between 25-30 is probably right but you can only work with what the other club has and the fact we're pushing him out the door means we'll have to be a bit more generous. So pick 30 is probably about right.

The salary thing isn't a huge issue for me unless it impacts on our TPP in 2019 and our ability to land another player next trade period. 2018 is pretty much sorted already.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
