I can confirm that Jack Watts is "99% sure" that he's playing on QB. Without giving too much away, theres one minor issue that it is contingent upon but Im advised that it shouldnt be a problem.

If that minor issue is mid-year exams, I would just like to say that:

1- I will happily tutor and/or sit his exams for him, especially if the exam is in psychology, which is a [censored] easy subject which I myself spent about 2 hours studying for

2- Suck it up Wattsy, we all have exams and you don't see us skipping the match :lol:;)

I'm torn. :lol:

This is the difference between a massive day for me & my family on Monday, including a great spread for lunch, beverages, footy, out for dinner. Huge spending spree. And Jack Watts v Collingwood.

Or,

A day at the footy with a mate and a luke warm meat pie....without Jack.

It's over to the selectors to determine my fate for Monday......please let it be the former alternative.....Because that way I'm not driving! :D

HT, Just another little bit of info for you. JW was scheduled to do a speech to his fellow Brighton GRAMMAR students on friday morning but HE has cancelled so he can train with the main group, Thus adding to my claim he is definately playing. He will also do a light run with the team at 10am on Sunday at the Junction oval.

My head is still out there and I'm tipping it will be still attached at 2.10pm on Monday !!!! GO DEES

Nah, I was questioning your indecision to bring them in the first place. That's fine though, no one has to go. :)
For the record plans have been finalised and we're all going! Despite the weather forecast. Good choice of sig by the way. Very true.

G'day All

Sorry I haven't had a chance to post my thoughts on this earlier.

I was going to start a thread about JW debut this coming week, last weekend after the game but haven't been able to spare the time.!! So now I am depriving myself of some much needed sleep to do so.

Apologies if some of this has appeared somewhere in this thread. I only quickly glanced over most of what has been contributed.

My thread was not going to be based on my desire to see him finally play in the Red and Blue or the handful of media articles and comments (most that have come since last weekend) but purely on the reaction of our usually controlled, stone faced coach at the press conference after last weekends game.

No he didn't say JW would definitely debut, nor did he completely rule it out. He, as usual, delivered his answers with a straight bat in the same calm and considered fashion that we have come to know....BUT HE COULDN'T control body language or the little smirk that creep onto his face when giving his answers.

Check it out. http://bigpondvideo.com/AFLTV/147431

Among other things that we have heard before when questioned about JW's debut (consistency, school considerations etc.) he did mentioned that it was an advantage that JW was able to stand up and play against MEN in the VFL.

This, along with another 'good' performance on the weekend should 'put to bed' some of those who are still questioning whether he is ready.

When watching the press conference take into consideration it was held BEFORE JW played last weekend. All the coaches comments and articles that have come since only add weight to the idea of JW debuting next Monday.

IF he is picked to debut this weekend, and I get the impression everything is leading us the believe he will, it could be a marketing master stroke given the Wallet saga will be over and the media will be looking for an angle to promote the Queen's Birthday Monday game.

I'm convinced. Best of luck Jack.

If the rumour is true then I just hope that he is really ready. I think he will be as he seems a pretty self assured young man, but to debut on the biggest stage we will play on this year, with the hopes and dreams of an entire football club sitting on his shoulders is a big ask for a kid.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
