All good chief, it was the first thing I assumed too.

It's a massive call from Goodwin if this is the case, makes you wonder though, putting a lot of faith in a recognised backman to do it full time.

Maybe the revelation of Tom McDonald forward has packed Jacks bags. Competes in the air, leads to right areas, has proven to be a straight set shot, gut running up the field, courageous. Makes you wonder...

This whole trade period is the worst and most boring in history, not even any hints from any clubs, a load of [censored] really.

Can't be that exciting or they would've said before the break?

So is it recruitment or development....?

It's his nephew.

Where has @Siren and @Grand New Flag gone???

We were on track for top 4, even with Watts injured....

At the end of the day, the scuttlebutt was started after a decision had been made. Anyway, all the best to Jack, lets move on to winning a few flags and not let this drag the club down.

I don't think anything said here has contributed to Watts being on the trade table. Speculation was created by Jones, Goodwin, Mahoney and McCartney causing everyone to worry about whats going on. If they had of handled it in house and professionally then it wouldn't have got to such hysteria. But I do see your point and fully respect your posts.

This is news to me, McCartney even kicking the boots in? This club has cocked up the whole shebang, could've done it respectfully and similar to Impey situation.

It is very sad and Jack is a nice lad, no denying that. I do feel really sorry for him and we did let him down in his younger years. We don't know why all this is happening, or the motive from the club, I do agree it's been handled poorly, from Goodwin/Jones to Mahoney. Clearly the club has lost patience with him over whatever reason, all we see is his inconsistency so can only assume. Jones dug in and busted his gut when the cookies crumbled, Watts possibly hasn't. But it is sad to see his family hurt & that it is our club that has done this. My opinion on Jacks "effort" remains but I still feel for him. Bizarre set of circumstances that I hope we eventually find out what happened.

I've been hearing good things about this kid over the weekend, I'll do some research tomorrow. If anyone has any footage please post.

Tigers or Hawks bound I reckon, but I'd love him. Would cost what, $300k? I wonder if Dees are looking at him or not over the weekend?

So, if we pick up an early second rounder for Watts, are there any players anyone thinks we should target with that pick or bundle of picks?

I think Watts is a mixture of Lucas Cook and Ty Vickery.

Jesus mate, it was clearly a joke and a bit of fun, as have been most of my posts today. And yes, I cant wait to get rid of him and start being a serious footy club again, top bloke but I'm sick of him being a pee heart. Some of you are too emotional over Jacky boy. I don't have a GF, just the neighbours goat does me.

The fat lady loves it (so my mates tell me).

I think it's time to remove Watts from the Demonland banner, put our BnF winner up I say.

He hasn't run anywhere in 9 years so I think you may be right

I cannot believe some posters have gone to the extraordinary lengths to mention players from the 80's and 90's as a comparison to the way football is played today. Watts v Dunstall, Stynes and Flower some absolute corkers lol One thing those 3 did give every time though was effort.

Do you believe every word from every player, FD, club in the AFL? I don't.
