    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.

    The Toump is returning.

    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

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
