How about Tippett for Watts as a straight swap?


Dees2014

Recommended Posts

I want a 1st round draft pick for Watts, since he's still contracted I'd prefer to play hard ball and say two 1st round picks, or at the minimum, this years 1st round and next years 2nd round. If they set on the Lever deal, I'd use Swans/Ports 1st round pick and our 2nd round on that deal, then use our pick 10 to try and get Andrew Brayshaw. Tippet would be a complete waste.

We have laid our cards on the table with Watts, we are not in a great position to negotiate for value trades, that is my argument against Goodwin's strategy. It is not about whether we move Watts on or not, it is how we have telegraphed our opinion on his value, that is zilch, he is gone.

Two first rounds picks for Watts? Hahah. You've gotta be kidding me. Demonland's services would crash if we picked up a Watts-esque player - a talented 26 year old who's been unable to nail down a consistent senior gig - for two first rounds picks!

For some comparison, we only gave away 29 for Hibberd (and we upgraded 68 to 59).

I didn't say he was worth, or that we'd get, two 1st round picks for him, I said that is what I'd demand if I were the Dees. I'd then hope for at least a 1st round pick, hopefully a 2nd round pick too because he's still contracted for 2 years, if Swans/Port want him badly enough, make them pay overs. ?

If not, we keep him and hope that he pulls his finger out and plays to his potential. I'd prefer to keep him rather then throw him away for a 2nd round pick. ??

Could make sense if Tippett wasn't Tippett.

Which Tippett  are you talking about, the one who could play or the one who can't play. Either way they are past there best.

I'd rather Pick 14 be a part of the deal somehow.  We can do much more with that than we could do with Tippett.

Swans give up pick 14 for Watts.  You are giving a ludicrous trade idea. Are you allowed to ? Oh it’s Wuseblood again.  The one who says Watts is unprofessional and has broken standards!!

The fact you can't see this means you aren't worth wasting any more time on.  I only want to discuss this with people who have half a brain cell.

Watts for Rohan?

I'd do it. I'd also move Hunt forward. I'd love to see Hunt, Rohan, Garlett and Hannan harassing opposition defenders. We need to create a point of difference forward of the centre to complement our strong contested ball winning midfield.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
