Unwanted Watts takes cheeky dig at Demons

Jack Watts has taken a not-so-subtle dig at the Melbourne Demons after being told he isn't wanted at the club.

The Demons are furiously trying to trade the former No.1 pick, with Port Adelaide believed to be the new favourite to sign the 26-year-old.

On Saturday a video emerged on social media (watch above) of Watts seemingly sending a message to a young Demons fan, taking a cheeky dig at his former club in the process.

“Thanks very much, little fella,” he says. “Unfortunately the Demons don’t value kicking too highly so we’ll wait and see, but I love you too.”

He then tells the fan they might need to buy a new Demons jersey given he won't be at the club next year.

“Have a great one mate, keep smiling, keep barracking, and you might have to get a new number on your jumper unfortunately."

Watts is reported to have chosen Port as his destination of choice after being put up for trade.

Port Adelaide boss David Koch may actually have given away Watts's move to the Power with a social media move of his own, following Watts on Instagram.

Day five of the trade period ended with four official trades completed.

Adelaide have four first-round draft picks over the next two years after Thursday's Jake Lever trade - No.10 and 16 this year and their own and Melbourne's first call in 2018.

Essendon are still trying to find a way to land Jake Stringer and Adam Saad after sending pick 11 to Greater Western Sydney for Devon Smith in a trade that had included a swap of later selections.

Port traded Jarman Impey to Hawthorn for a second-round pick and a further swap of later selections.

Fremantle's Hayden Crozier shifted to the Western Bulldogs for pick 40.

And Port continued a strong run through free agency, landing Tom Rockliff from Brisbane and lodging paperwork with the AFL to claim Geelong's Steve Motlop.
