    We will probably get the deal to Port done on Monday.

    Do they do a BAC beforehand?

    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.

    and dont forget raising the flag on the flag pole after a win and of course having the bugler on the ground with the trumpet before the game.

    We can't seem to fully shake that Matt Jones guy from our club.

    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

    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?

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

    15? That's just his usual pre-training hydration program, mostly during pre-seasons after while having injuries...

    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.

    A question I have never asked to this point in my life. What colour shoes do you wear with a burgundy suit? Not sure Jack has answered correctly.

    • 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.
