    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.

    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

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
