    In the paper Bailey sort of allured to the fact they could have already had him playing for the dees. I think the only thing holding this kid back is school. 10 goals this arvo for sure.

    I expect Watts to kick at least 10 goals per 15 minutes he is on the ground. Anything less and it will be clear that we wasted our draft pick on a hack ala. Michael Newton.

    Calabrese, the fact it's round 4 into his first season and we're STILL talking about him possibly kicking 10 goals clearly underscores that we wasted Pick One, not to mention the fact he's not even captain at the moment, better pull his socks up

    Hopefully Watts has a blinder.

    How can he be a failure in the VFL magoos if he doesn't kick 10 ?

    You guys are familiar with the concept of the ball having to be delivered to him, right?

    And the delivery skills in the Casey 2s aren't going to set the world on fire.

    I expect Watts to be a proficient forward in 3 years time. If he's not, then I might consider calling the pick a mistake. Until then, anything is icing.

    Today I expect a couple of touches, maybe a goal or 2.

    Cool your jets guys, for Watts' sake!

    If it takes him 3 years to be proficient, we've wasted a pick. I'd expect him to be proficient in 12 months, and hope he's a star in 3 years time.

    Don't know about Strauss, but where is Sam Blease?

    Sam blease is still behind compared to watts in his development program, i think he had a minor injury so hes probably still bit underdone to play yet.

    Well, I've made it down to Casey Fields (well ahead of time I might add) and I'm wondering what on earth am I doing here in this godforsaken part of the world?

    There must be something happening here today because a few other vehicles are arriving and all of them have those little red and blue stickers on them.

    Oh well ...

    Glad you arrived, WJ.

    Please provide us with an update every time Watts kicks one of his 17 goals.

    Thanks ahead of time for any updates or news. Ur a legend. (Cheers also to KC and everyone for their reports and up-to-the-minute info so far this season.)

    Casey off to a strong start. There are four Demons in the Scorps team today - Rhys Healey, Danny Hughes, Jack Watts and Matthew Whelan. There's also a player called Luke Williams but he's not the Luke Williams who played for Melbourne and Sandy a few years ago!

    Hughes and Whelan are the early standouts for Casey. It's been a quiet start for Jack Watts - just one kick from a free. He also tapped the ball to a teammate for what you would call a goal assist in basketball.

    Casey 4.4.28 to 1.1.7 halfway through the first term.

    Obviously needs some time up back to learn the trade. :rolleyes:

    He has disappointed the expectations of alot of supporters already. :P

    At quarter time it was Casey Scorpions 4.4.28 to Port Melbourne 3.2.20.

    Straight after the break, Watts snagged his first goal in VFL reserves history but only after getting a 50 m penalty because his opponent stepped over the mark. Lucky too because Jack's kick was astray.

    Demonland just became a better place!

    Any updates guys?

    Casey Scorpions 6.8.44 to Port Melbourne 9.8.62 at half time.

    Port dominated most of the quarter. Jack Watts had limited opportunities but has looked composed playing mainly at CHF. Matty Whelan was off from the start of the quarter. His leg was being iced and his right thigh is now bandaged (corky?). Hughes is the pick of the Dees in the first half but Rhys Healey has also done some nice things. With Trent Zomer not playing in this game, I would suggest that he's playing in the ones later in the evening.

    I noticed most of the Demons in tonight's main game had arrived by half time in the reserves game. Jake Spencer is a big lad. Addam Maric is here but there's no sign of Kyle Cheney which suggests that he's the emergency held back just in case there needs to be a change tomorrow.

    The other big arrivals are the Channel 10 cameras and Ryan Fitzgerald which suggests it's likely that there will be a cross to Before the Game when that programme goes to air tonight.

    I hate to say it, but surely Whelan's career is on a knifes edge. If he has gone down with yet another injury then his days at the club must be numbered. He just cannot get on the park anymore.

    Good to hear Watts is getting through the game with no worries - I don't expect him to see much of it as the delivery would be shite at the level he is playing.

    Trade him.

    Hopefully the gym

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
