    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

    reading that article makes me think less of a chance considering exams are the next day.

    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.

    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.

    Go Dees - Building for the Future

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
