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!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
