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.

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.

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'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. 

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

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
