Jack Watts

Satan
in Melbourne Demons

I still advocate that us rotating the QB game with the Pies for a home game isn't entirely out of our own interests.

It would give us one extra home game per year (in years we play Collingwood twice) and may help to increase the interest in the game (if Pies fans show up in their droves and it draws 75,000 the stature of the game would grow. I worry about this, because if we get sub 60,000 again it would be a massive concern for the club holding the fixture. Many games this year have already drawn over 70,000

    I have it on very good authority that Jack Watts is a certain starter against Collingwood. I would not post this if I was not sure, but I have been told he is certain starter on Queens Birthday.

    Hmmmm.... every single student who has exams starting the following day (like me), have just found yet another reason to justify going to the game over studying.

    I can feel the board going into meltdown mode regardless of whether this is true or not.

    Stand by mods :D

    I know how excited MFC supporters are, So I will say again I would not post this if I didn't have a credible source.

    Ah yes, here I can feel very lucky since my exams start on the Wednesday, so there's no guilt at all. Yay.

    Well, I hope you are right. Because your head is on the chopping block otherwise!

    (Long time reader, first time poster) If it's true, bring on Monday! It will be great to go to the football with every Melbourne supporter oozing optimism. Even if he doesn't star, it hopefully will be the start of a beautiful relationship for the next 10 years.

    Stand by the 'G'.

    Perhaps this would be an excellent time for negotiating with a better stadium deal with the 'G'! :D ........if proven correct.

    The pointers are there at least. This story appeared this afternoon on the Melbournefc website, and Peter German said:

    "Jack had 22 touches and was steady again. He used the ball well and he played mainly up the ground. He was No. 1 with our inside 50 kicks for the game. It was a reasonable game and he's starting to show some good consistent form".

    With these other reports:

    Liam Jurrah – Liam was very good. He was back in the senior side – he tackled and pressured really well – and finished it off with three goals. He moved up the ground as the game went on and played with a bit more freedom. He took a step forward and it was really pleasing.

    Kicks 10, Handballs 7, Marks 5, Tackles 6, Goals 3

    Michael Newton – He was very good and produced another consistent performance. Again, a couple of shots on goal when astray – that's a part of his game he's got to get right – but the way he is going about his footy at the moment and over the past five weeks has been outstanding. His defensive and offensive work has been very good.

    Kicks 14, Handballs 5, Marks 9, Tackles 5, Goals 3

    Russell Robertson – His whole game was good, but he could've been very good, because he kicked 3.5 and took 12 marks. He chased and tackled and did all of the things we asked him to do – he was very good at that. But he could've kicked seven or eight goals and that was the only area of his game that let him down.

    Kicks 12, Marks 12, Goals 3

    I'd expect something to be done in the very near future to bolster a very ordinary, low-scoring attack.

    I was contemplating deleting that link, but it's so funny and appropriate that I attached a warning instead :lol::lol::lol:

    That was pretty much my first reaction, which is actually quite disturbing :huh:

    I think I laughed more at that, than the clip.

    That was 'Gold'

    I have also heard it on very good authority that he will be playing on Queens Birthday.

    I have grown up playing with Jack and cannot wait to see him out there in the red and blue.

    Get excited. Big weekend for us in so many ways

    I'm about to die

    Do we need to start a "Jack Watts" board for this week, ala the Judd board (only with a better outcome! :angry: )?

    I hope people are excited for the right reasons, and not because they think Watts will kick 10 on debut and we'll win.

    I for one fully expect him to do little. Get a nice feel for the game, maybe kick a goal courtesy of the boys giving off a cheap kick/handball to ensure he marks and gets one early. The excitement will come from his physical presence on the field, and the possibility of the greatness he might provide us in years to come.

    Lets hope nobody comes on here on Monday night and starts a "Jack Watts is a dud, as if he didn't kick 10, delist him now!!!!!11" thread :wacko:

    • 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.
