Before today I have never taken pen to paper to discuss a potential trade but the thought of Melbourne trading Jack Watts has me both livid and incredulous. I'll briefly outline my reasons why:

I just want to say that Jack did not come back to pre season under done, in fact he came back in the same shape as 2016 which was good, he had a great year. His 3 k time trial was his best ever, you c

He hasnt even commited to a club.

Geelong is going to the draft apparently and Sydney have confirmed they are out.

That leaves Port.

I just cannot believe we are dragging this out until the last day. I expected he nominated his club monday and the deal was done by, at the latest, this morning.  Clearly we are not as willing to settle for a crap pick?? Has Watts dug his heels in? Not according to Connors? What a farcical way this whole saga has been handled.

Toumpas and Watts together again at last.

This is the sort of snipe that really annoys me.  Whatever you think of Watts, he provided a lot more than Toumpas under a lot more scrutiny.

Deep breaths. In .... out ..... in .... out ....

Think of a peaceful forest.

Maybe go for a long walk.

It's okay. It's going to be okay.

Connors and Watts are the ones dragging it out, not the club.

He wants to go to Geelong but the offer is better at Port.

Problem is he is priority 3 with them after Ablett and Stringer. So they need to drop first

If Watts stays Casey has a new forward flanker :)

Might be some value there.  He might even be able to teach Weids how to split the middle from 20 meters out on occasions and kick them from more than 35 meters out.  500k well spent on something the current coaching crew haven't been capable of doing.

I see both sides. I am not against Jack staying, I do not believe that his position at the club is untenable. I think Tmac and Hogan as kpfs will suit Jack's game. He struggles when playing as a kf or in the ruck. If we trade him for a pick between 20-30 I am confident Taylor can find a good young player in that range, or alternatively a swap of second rounders for a higher pick may eventuate.

They are only 'out' until they are back in

Given his dad has come out and spoken in the media, I'd say his position is now untenable.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
