Pick 22? Now they have Pick 19

Yeah, apparently Port are fuming that the Motlop compo pick will allow Geelong to steal Watts from under their noses .

19 for Ablett and 22 for Watts

Yep have also heard this from my spy who fishes the Barwon often and lands some Big ones!

Geelong with Watts and Ablett would be almost premiership material!

I think everyone in the comp is fuming about that Motlop compo, funnily enough it may work in our favour for once.

Nah, Viney will fix Abletts' shoulder and Jack will get lost in Moorabool St never to be seen again.

I disagree. 

I think there is far less than is being made of this by the media.

A serial under performer for the 9 seasons he has been on the list and the club has said, best you have a look at other options. If we can get value in a trade that you agree to, we will take it. Since that time I think the club has been mainly very disciplined and consistent  in all that it has said. 

Jack will either stay or go. Whichever it is, it is up to jack as to how he responds.

I think that the AFL media has made a mountain out of a molehill.

In my opinion, if you strip away the media hype, the football club has handled it well whatever the outcome. I back the football department to make the right decisions.

 

He rucked well for us when Max went down. This is not a long term decision

This decision to off load Jack has been made quickly. Why? is all i want to know

there is no point in playing him after a hammy injury in Round 23 if he was already off the books ? 

this is not a cut and dried easy situ

Tom $cully was “injured” for most of his 2nd year with us. I called BS on that at the time and i reckon it was the right call, as the little turd has played and run week after week since then. 

Clubs lie often

Don’t believe everything. After watching Jack’s video last saturday i don’t think he knows the full story either. 

He certainly wasn’t planning a new life...

Motlop is considered a massive downhill skier. Here is his comparison with Watts. They are almost an identical age. Not sure why some of hte contested stats didn't generate but they are remarkably similar yet Watts is a legend of the game....

So Pick 3 (Hogan) for Frawley didn't work in our favour?

I'm talking about all the concession picks plus compo picks being thrown in and pushing us back.

That was an hilarious win though but we were rubbish.

I see no evidence that this decision was taken quickly.

Jack’s gone, but i want to know why

regardless of his one arm tackle attempts, he is the best kick in the side. 

Some of our disposal this year was atrocious. 

It is not unreasnoable as a shareholder to ask questions...

I know he's played in some ordinary teams, but they are mightily disappointing stats for a #1 pick.

No, it's not, but nothing will be divulged until it's on Open Mike or Open Gerard

What a great way for the Demonland faithful to send off a man, who would likely have the most posts about him in the history of Demonland.

I can't wait for him to get a bag of goals next season, we can have another merry-go-round of Jack Watts posts.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
