It’s Super Tuesday! Well according to Trade Radio it was, only it wasn’t exactly super. ‘Pretty Good Tuesday’ more like it.
Jack Watts completed the trifecta of big signings at Port Adelaide.

Don’t care what anyone says, pick 31 for jack watts is daylight robbery
— Dwayne Fowles (@dwayno6) October 17, 2017
Since 2000 Pick 31 averages 34 games, 13 goals and half a Brownlow vote. I reckon Jack Watts is a pretty safe bet for that pick. Bargain.

One of the game’s most maligned figures, there were Dees fans VERY disappointed with the news.

absolutely livid about Jack Watts going to Port. complete and utter lunacy.

Others weren’t so sympathetic.
No doubt Jack Watts is a great bloke & loved his club, but removing emotion, he is a 9th year player that couldn't meet expected standards.

Regardless of your feeling towards Watts, this is probably fair enough.
Imagine being 26, never doing anything that bad and copping anywhere near the of public criticism Jack Watts has copped. Good luck to him.

Elsewhere, Brendon Ah Chee joined the Eagles.
Brendon Ah Chee deal done. Eagles gave Port their next year 3rd rounder and received one of Ports 2018 4th rounders. @agerealfooty @WAtoday

Carlton are poised to snap up Darcy Lang, according to “Sccop” McClure.
@sam_mcclure on Lang: "I think Carlton are in the box seat to gain his services for next year"
Would you like him at your club Blues fans?— SEN Breakfast (@SENBreakfast) October 16, 2017
And AFLX looks set to replace a week of pre-season.
AFLX is going to be a absolute game-changer for overseas expansion something the AFL has been extremely poor at in a number of years
