    Well now I think I'm going to die <_<

    We have such a rich history of duds wearing the number 4, no wonder they finally decided to give it to Jack. He is the best chance we've had in years of restoring that number to its former glory.

    No pressure Jack, you can add that to your list of things to do alongside completing VCE, winning the Coleman, a Brownlow, 4 B&F's, captaining 3 premierships, helping to save us from financial ruin, stopping the Swine Flu epidemic, solving the water crisis, and bringing peace to the Middle East :lol:

    Stay on topic thanks Jaded, we were talking about Jack Watts - not Jack Grimes

    Who's debuting Monday, Brent Grgic?

    ;)

    Makes a lot of sense for it too be QB. Always seemed like the date they would work towards, and Bailey's comments in the media over the past two weeks have fitted in with that, if you pay close enough attention to his demeanor and attitude.

    Monday is going to be a great day for our club, win lose or draw. Let's hope the boys can welcome Jack to the AFL in style.

    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.

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

    Stand by mods :D

    If Bailey thinks Watts is ready, then I'm ready. If not, then I'm prepared to wait until the time is right. I'm excited to see him debut for the simple fact that when he does, it will because the coaches have determined he is ready to go. No other reason is sufficient, e.g merely playing him just to pump up an attendance figure on QB. This would be reckless.

    It's going to be a long wait this week to see if he will be named Thursday night.

    What will increase the anxiety is the fact that if Watts is named on Thursday, it is likely he will be named on the extended interchange. Since the game is Monday, does the club have to name their final team by Friday afternoon or Saturday?

    Ah hell, I need to smoke a J.

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

    I know for a fact, So I don't mind putting my head out. I knew the excitment it would bring, I wouldn't dare tease my fellow Melbourne members on such a passionate subject.

    Steamin pile of bu@#!hit.....I think not.

    I believe you and your claim is supported by the release of the article on the MFC website. Normally when players are endorsed in a headline as being "a chance" they play.

    Watts is ready. He has better skills than our current 22. QBW is perfect for him and Melbournefc exposure.

    haha...im going to eat my words hannabal about being pateint!!!!

    CAN'T WAIT FOR MONDAY!!!!

    but please people, do not have rediculously high hopes...and btw, even if he doesnt play i will still be exited because we will win.

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

    Yeah, if he does play my expectations will be rock bottom. That way he can only exceed them!

    Would JW have exams coming up next week ? If so, it would be a strange time to debut.

    I wouldve thought the same to be honest. However I guess that all depends on what subjects he is doing. I know when I did my VCE 5 years ago I didnt have any mid year exams. Just SAC's and stuff like that. So maybe he is doing a lot of Humanities subjects which generally dont have mid years??? Maybe our current VCE'ers could shed some light

    If and I mean "IF" Watts plays Monday (I do doubt it) I would expect Presty in his form to give him a bit of a hiding, might be better to have him play against Essendon who have younger less experienced backs.

    Presti will take Miller/Newton, I'd think. Especially if we play Watts further up the ground.

    God I hope this happens....

    But I will fight the urge to get my hopes up, as I doubt it will.

    Don't think many footballers do VCE Chem and Physics, I think Jack'll be Ok :D

    In all honesty IF he's ready, he'll play. I dont have huge expectations for him, but one thing I would LOVE to see...

    Watts, snap shot from a slight angle, 30 metres out in the opening quarter for his first goal in league football, and the entire Melbourne team swarm him in celebration. That's all I need to see.

    Me too. Despite the rumours and growing momentum I don't think it will happen this weekend. Things have taken flight, but I smell a letdown.

    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

    I think I might just splurge anyway, drag the family along....more numbers.....bigger crowd...make a day of it....bugger it I will! It would be alot more exciting if JW took to the turf.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
