Rumoured to have been spotted at Crows HQ today

With his manager apparently.

    @AkumMy brother is friends with a really close friend of Jack. Said that Jack has been told a Port trade is possibly in play.

    I know I know, he said she said but was just wondering what a trade to PA would look like.

    Finally some good mail.

    Well I'll have a stab at it. If Jack Watts has met with Port, Karl Amon is a player we may look at. Wingman, quick, good tank. Would expect maybe a pick upgrade for us along with it.

    It would have to be with Port if it's true.  Why would the Crows want Watts?  They already have Tex, Jenkins, McGovern and Lynch down there, not to mention Betts and Cameron at their feet.

    Port is a little more understandable, but I'm a little skittish about a potential deal as I don't think we'll get fair compensation.

    Jarman Impey is a player I would consider for watts

    I'd be very [censored] if we traded Watts.  I'd be even more [censored] if we traded him to a team with decent kicking skills and we had to watch him kicking multiple bags next year.

    Can't understand y we need 2 trade Watts he is one of the few players who can kick - will be not happy if he's traded out esp as he is contracted. I might protest & not renew my membership as that's about the only thing I can do 2 vent my displeasure. There r lots of players I'd trade out b4 him.

    I will live with any deal or any trade period as long as we are addressing needs. In the absence of more details, this only exacerbates a need.

    It's finally happening.

    I hope he goes so that he can have some respite

    Then, all the focus can be on Bugg

    Over to the haters...go nuts

    So the supporters who can see the flaws in his game are the reason why the Football Dept are looking to trade him?

    And I assume by your reference to Bugg that you actually rate him?

    I'll be happy for him if he goes and kicks bags next year, because he'll never do it here. Too much emotional baggage has built up over the years for Jack IMO. A new start could be just what he needs.

    I can't wait to see who we're going to blame all our problems on next year.

    From the HUN (if not already posted)

    "...  Melbourne is increasingly likely to offload contracted forward Jack Watts as it closes in on Adelaide’s intercepting star Jake Lever.The Demons are also a chance to secure Fremantle’s Harley Balic, who wants to return to Victoria.  ,,,"

    Personally, I'd hate to see Jack go.

    I'll be seriously f#$!ed off if we trade Watts.. When he is playing well he is such an important player to us. We obviously don't know the day to day ins and outs of how he is around the club but on the surface we are better side with him in it.. Besides the fact he will be better than whatever we get for him in a trade

    In: Wines, Lever, Menzel (FA)

    Out: Watts, Pick 10

    Be a great result, but pretty optimistic IMO. If we're looking at an FA target I'd prefer Jackson Trengove though.

    Time for him to move on.  He has some value and it's either now or never. 

    Unfortunately he is never going to be the player we want him to be

    So you really think a straight swap for Wines with Watts. 

    You're kidding aren't you mate?  

    Watts in no way has as much currency as that

    While I agree this is a place to share thoughts (and I'm not targeting you as you're not the only one upset)... but no one really cares about your feelings....

    No offence to you personally, this is a footy site not Oprah

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
