Jack Watts and Melbourne set for trade period stand-off

Melbourne and Jack Watts appear set for a trade period stand-off, with the contracted utility “disappointed” by news he’s up for trade.

Speaking on AFL Trade Radio, Watts said he felt his best football was still in front of him.

He said he was frustrated after being told by the Demons he could be traded.

“I’ve been at the club for so long,” Watts said.

Watts still has two years left on his contract, meaning the Demons cannot send him to another club without his approval.
