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:

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
