    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.

    Tippett has as much value as Jack's left index fingernail. 

    Laughable.

    Apparently going in for surgery will miss the whole preseason. Not an option.

    yeah, dump him.

    I don't think we need midfielders or small forwards as we much as we need a power forward like Joe Danaher, Ben Dixon or Ben Brown.

    Of course an extra mid won't go astray.

    I don't believe Spencil going is a good thing, not at all, at all.

    Agree. Tippett is useless. Melts like butter

    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.

    Half is more than nil.  

    Crazy trade ideas from Wiseblood. Watts for pick 14. But he says Watts is unprofessional and has broken standards. 

    More insults? That’s 1000 insults. Nil content. Yawn

    No. If people are frustrated with Watts' inconsistency, i reckon they'd be ropeable with bringing in 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
