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

We used the Frawley compo on Brayshaw (just to be pedantic ? )

I’m not waiting that long. I have a few mates in Byron Bay

Something happened up there....

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.

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
