Not sure if this has been posted already. A light hearted little piece about Jack's early initiation to AFL footy.

Gave me quite a chuckle... Especially these bits:

"He (Brock) didn't hold back. He gave me a few to the chops," Watts told the Herald Sun. "The blood was pouring everywhere." :o

&

"I hadn't done a lot of weights before arriving so it was a bit different. When I'm taking the 50-kilo weights off the bench press to get my set done, it's a bit degrading."

Poor kid, hehe... First he gets a few smacks around the head from Brock, just to say 'welcome'... Talk about an initiation of fire! It was never going to be easy being #1. I wonder if all our new recruits get that sort of baptism??

And on top of that, he probably cops it left right and centre for lifting girly weights (no disrespect intended to the female readers out there)! :lol:

And still the kid just smiles and cops it on the chin ;)

He hasn't played a game yet, but one things certain. This kid is definitely going to a star speaker in the media for years to come. He has 'high-profile' written all over him, something we haven't genuinely had for a long time, and if he lives up to his playing potential, will be bringing new MFC fans to our club for the next 10-15 years.

God i'm excited about Monday. Don't think i've been as pumped for match day to 'just get here already!' since the GF in 2000. The lead-up this week feels like it's been going forever!

I look forward to a follow up story next pre-season when a bigger, heavier, stronger Watts give Brock a couple on the snoz. :lol:

Yes the build up to this week has been a long one, exacerbated by the fact that the game is in fact not until NEXT WEEK. And according to Hutchy last night is could have been even longer because JW was going to be told he was playing on Monday but for his mum awaiting the results of a Swine Flu test which if positive would have seen JW in quarantine for the week, and miss the game altogether. :o

Let's hope the footy gods keep smiling on us; at least until after 5pm Monday afternoon.

Brock gives his side of the story:

They were only throwing left punches and he actually hit Watts hands which in turn hit his own nose so really Watts gave himself a blood nose.

Was funny to listen to Chook telling the story, loved the public v private school comment.

So once again the storm in the tea cup has been dispelled as nothing.

Where did you hear Brock's rebuttal?

The media is really losing the plot lately. For Brock to even have to comment is a joke.

It was a training method, Watts got mildly hurt boxing against a physically mature player. Oh no, will somebody please think of the children?! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
