According to the MFC Website JW will play with Casey next week - WATTS UP FOR CASEY DEBUT.

That seems a whole lot sooner than originally discussed.

I'm tipping a spike in the Scorpions gate takings for next week!

    Hope so; they'll have to be non-MFC members though to boost the gate takings.

    Match is at 7:00pm next Saturday night v Port Melbourne (who beat last year's Premiers [North Ballarat] today by 78 points).

    It's our only night game for the H&A season.

    Something tells me there might be a half decent crowd at the game next Saturday night...

    I'm pretty excited about this! Where is the game? Port melbourne or Casey?

    It really disappoints me that this isn't a saturday arvo game so we can't sit in the comfort of out own couch and critique and dissect his game from home. He're hoping it all goes well for him!

    It's at Casey Fields @ 7:00pm under lights.

    Reserves are at 4:00 pm.

    He's listed as number 60 in the Scorpions team list (Casey players are numbered 1 to 45, then Melbourne players from 46 onwards)

    Good Luck to him..... Hopefully he just takes the pressure in his stride.... Plenty of time to worry about tearing up the paddock later in the year..... Just enjoy the game!!

    Not really, he has said he would play for Casey in 2-3 weeks in Round 1

    Hope he can play good footy there, then push for senior selection in the second half of the season. But since he is playing for Casey earlier then there`s a chance If he plays good footy at Casey then he can get into the senior team earlier than expected. Can`t wait to Watts gets a run in the seniors. Like Robbo said, "The next David Neitz".

    Anyone know if this will be his only game? (he goes back to school in a week or 2)

    Won't he still continue to play for Casey when he goes back to school?

  • Quote

    He may.

    I know he was able to train more with the group during his school holidays (from an article/interview with Bailey) so I'm just wondering whether he'll play for Casey the next couple of weeks and then go back to the previous routine of school etc or continue to play for Casey and just train while he can

    I've read somewhere that they're yet to map out exactly where he will play his footy during this season. It will be a mix of Brighton Grammar and Casey, but the club is yet to negotiate with the school from what I read.

    Regardless of where he plays his footy, he'll get a debut at some stage with the Demons. You'd imagine the earliest opportunity would be during the June school holidays, after he's done his mid-year exams.

    not happy cannot be there but will be waiting with baited breath for reports from casey scorp and anyone else who cares to put their thoughts on Watts and all the others

    Spewing that I've got something on that day, but will be checking my iphone every two minutes for updates from Demonland.

    It'll probably be the best game of football Melbourne supporters are likely to see this year.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
