a comment from Bailey that makes me even more certain we'll take Jack Watts

“We want to make sure that with the players we draft, we know not only a lot of information about them as players but also a lot of information about them as people and the character and value which is going to be really important for us. We look forward to that day and that announcement.”

out of what i've heard and read about the leading candidates for number one, Jack seems to show great character as a person... not saying that Naitanui doesn't, but this is just something I've noticed about Watts...

    6 months of waiting and it comes down to one more nights sleep, hoping and praying Prendergast says the following sweet words at around 10.01am, "Jack Watts, Sandringham Dragons number ...." and i can remove the words "possible" from the heading off this post.

    I want to find out Jack Watts' player registration number..... so then i won't go into cardiac arrest between the announcing of the number and the name.

    If you see on the news that someone was listening to the draft and had a heart attack while the number 1 pick was being called out, you can safely assume it was me.

    Was it Goose's source who promised him that we wouldn't take Watts No. 1?

    "The Dees are such a Proud club with a Proud History" - Jack Watts, OH BABY! He sounds like a thirty five year old.

    Also apparently asked the club officials last night if he could mention sponsorship today to help us find one to help the club out, seems very keen to join our club and help us confirm our future.

    “All 80 guys that get called out, go in on Monday with the exact same opportunity, it is what you do from that time on that defines you as a player. I will just be getting into the Club and working as hard as I can to earn the respect of my team mates.” Seems a very promising type, I really like the types of players, and people, we're getting around the club at the moment. Go the Dees!

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
