Cant wait ... have to take our kids just so in 10. 20, 30 years time they can say ... "I was there for Jack Watts first game in the red & the blue" ... it will help instill the passion for ever.

I will never forget my first time I saw Robbie Flower run down that wing ... still brings a tear to my eyes today.

PS Any of my kids mates wont to come ... Demons supporter or not I will carry them on my back to the MCG if I have too.

Its up to us supporters to get behind the club ... turn up in our droves.

Lets go Dees!!!

BEST. NEWS. EVER.

Thanks Steamin Demon...i wanted to believe you all along but couldn't let myself get too excited just in case. Been burnt too many times by big claims from great sources.

Now hopefully the Watts image on this site can get updated so Jack is in a Demons jumper instead of the Big V!!!

Go Redlegs!!!

Had a look for you Mousey but the prices at this late stage are very expensive (and you'd have to fly in and out of the Gold Coast)

Thanks to MFC for the SMS, great to get updates like that. Really appreciated.

We'll all be there, this is one we're gonna WIN!

Anybody taking bets on Jack's first kick???

Whatever happens - win, lose or draw - I hope Jack enjoys the day and gets that wonderful feeling of a full MCG surrounded of loving fans so that he gets a taste of what it will be like holding up the cup a couple of years from now.

Just got my message from Jimmy, very excited. Times like this I wish I wasn't living at the other end of the country. Was going to go camping but have to watts the game now.

14 degrees and showers tipped for Monday - why does the weather always seem to be crap whenever we have a big home game

You'd hope JW would trump bad weather, but this may bring the crowd down a bit

I'm in the same boat. I got a thesis proposal due Tuesday and exams Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday...

But I'm willing to sacrifice sleep to get it all done before Monday.

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.

Good call Benny.

Look forward to seeing Jack and having a few brews with yourself and the_russian (no not Jamar, the demonland poster ;) ) on Monday!

No future Demon champion could have a better debut. Savour the day, Jack Watts!

Because as supporters, we're gonna... :D

HELL YEAH!!!

best news ever!! I will be in the MCC area getting blind with I heart watts on my chest (i dont know if ill get in to the mcc area with that though) :(

Posted

Well played Jimmy, whether by design or by chance he (and others) has generated a lot of Buzz for the club in the way he has handeled this.

This game MUST be won.

Posted
There is also rumour that Liam Jurrah will make his debut also!!!

If true this could be one of the most exciting build ups for a game that i can remember!

is there any more news/rumor on this one?

if its true I might not be able to sleep sun night!

Thanks Mick, I put my head out and people were questioning me. I said I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. I'd just like to say I TOLD YOU SO !!!!!!!!

Good luck Whopper !!!!!!

Go Dees and look forward to the walk to the 'G'

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
