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. 

Well Dogs have done the same with Stringer and are now saying pick under 10 or he stays.

    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.

    Rohan is a perennial finals failure and that is exactly the type Goodwin doesn't want.

    Exactly, just like us. That is my point.

    While I really enjoy this footy period of the year, as we haven't played finals in so long, it is also a bit frustrating as well, as so much is written/speculated that never eventuates.

     Could make sense, if Tippett passes the fitness test!

    I cannot see the nett gain.

    Rohan or Tippett for Watts.  I would keep Wattsy. 

    Let me be clear here. I would prefer to keep Watts too. 

    From what we are hearing so far in the draft we have: 

    - watts given away for a second round pick.

    - Lever being paid more than Max, Viney, or Jones, plus our first two picks in the draft

    - Hogan going home to Fremantle for not very much. 

    - Trengove, Kennedy and Spencer being given away for nothing when each has potential currency. 

    Doesnt  look too too good to me. I am prepared to call it now that to me the Lever trade will have the destabilising effect on our young list which will see much of our brilliant midfield and the best big man in the league walk out when their contracts are up. I think it is that serious. 

    This Post was supposed to bring that to a head, not as a serious suggestion re Jack Watts, but under these circumstances Tippett might have some value and won’t destroy our young list at the same time. At least he has played some good football in the past, and we could get him for very little. 

    This trade period  for me is looking like we are going back into the pack as a perennial mid lister. 

    It is not looking good!!!

    None of these players has any currency.

    I doubt any will be picked up by another club but maybe Jack will get a shot, rookie most likely and no one trades in a rookie.

    Don't worry hogans not going home, and if he were to go,they will pay heaps first and second picks at the minimum, totally different to lever, hogan under contract we have the upper hand, their is no rumor with hogan, just because a team wants a player does not make it a rumor, unless hogan has told someone he want out, which has not happened, purple has no knowledge of this he is just throwing it out there because its a good story, as they say don't let the truth get in the way of a good story.

    Apparently we are after a second round pick for Watts.

    And if we get anything better than a mid third, there will be much rejoicing and praise that our satanic majesty has indeed favoured us mightily. :cool:

    I haven't bothered with this thread previously but given the non-event trade day 3 has proven to be I'll give my thoughts.

    Watts for Tippett is trading:

    a good bloke who is soft

    for

    a [censored] bloke who is soft

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

    I propose we trade this thread for pages 114-121 of the Jack Watts thread. Would cover the loss of the last four pages and give us something to switch to when we need a break from pages 215+ of the Jack Watts thread.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
