Hope we can see Watts on Queens Birthday would attract a BIG crowd

As i was discussing with a person in the herald-sun feedback a couple months ago, i think that the Messiahs exams start the very next day after the match.. so if thats the case, id say Dees v west coast at the 'g'

hopefully bump up our crappy crowd numbers against interstate teams too.. at least for that one match..

mabbe the friday nite dees v Bombers clash?

all a bit irrelevant until he starts looking like he'll earn a spot tho! which he sounds like he is just winding up to do as we speak.;.

IMO- dees v West Coast - if its warranted..

    There's an article on the AFL website where Dean Bailey's saying that Jack could be up for selection if he plays a great game in the VFL this week.

    I'd be disappointed to see Watts selected for a 'blockbuster' game simply on name and promise. He's not ready by any stretch.

    He's on a big learning curve and has shown tantalising glimpses of his talent at the Scorps but has a fair way to go regardless of innate talent. Not to mention that he's doing his final year at school and this has always been the priority.

    Like it or not, this year is about balancing study and footy. Hang on for 2010 though.

    Agree. He should only be picked if he's ready, and he's not doing enough at Casey to suggest he's ready for AFL football. So if we have to wait until later in the year, then so be it.

    Yeah thats true mate. Exams start that weekend for all school goers I believe. I would assume a debut here would be out of the question.

    Its funny how different people read things to mean the complete opposite.

    From what Bailey has said, I get the impression Watts will be held back until he consistently shows good form in the VFL over a period of weeks.

    One game do not maketh the player. Watts will made to really earn his spot, maybe even moreso than another player and I fully support this stance.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
