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.

Stynes said on SEN yesterday that this is so far from the truth and blown out of proportion it's stupid.

The media of late have really started [censored] me to tears, I hardly buy the paper anymore.

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:

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
