Jack, please do yourself a favour and roll up to the saints next game early and watch riewoldts warm up, then just watch how much he runs and runs and runs

. Then come october set yourself a goal run your arse off so you can be half as good

 

... twice as good! :D

Well said. Riewoldt is exactly the type of player Watts needs to evolve into and the Dees need.

 

Garry Lyon said on MMM a few weeks ago exactly the same thing. He said for a player like Jack to follow Nicks training by going doing there and watching his finals matches. Once he had watched these games and training sessions that this is the benchmark he has to attain to.

Garry also said for our midfield to watch players like Lenny Hayes & Joel Sellwood (again, in training & finals matches).

Seems like a bloody good idea for me...........


Roo and Watts are close mates aren't they?

No, they've met once through Grant Thomas. Watts knows one of Thomas's kids through Brighton Grammar and he happened to be at the Thomas house when Riewoldt was there meeting with Thomas.

I remember reading that in an article by Thomas a few months back....

Nice thread BA

Common sense would tell me, Lyon or someone close to the club, would have had a quiet word to the boys already.

Havent heard much about the lads so far, in this 1st part of the off-season.. not even Slyvia!

So mabbe they are at the games taking notes, instead of at niteclubs taking..who knows what.. ;)

Others have already posted the link. Just a good memory, I suppose. :)

my message to Watts. would be to take up some boxing, tuffen the lad up a bit ;)

Jack should also spend some time in the weights room over pre-season.

Jack don't overdo, abuse your body. You can't & won't get Riewoldts engine all in one season.

Stick to the fitness staffs plan. Players not only need a huge engine, but also need to learn the right AFL skills, as well as building bulk. I think a 3yr plan to build his physique & adapt to the AFL level & become intuitive @ that level.

I'd be happy if over that 3 yr period young Jack has accumulated 55 - 60 odd games.

Good luck Jack.

140 + goals in that in those 55-60 games would be very nice. :)

Thanks for posting that article. It was a great read. I didn't imagine that Grant Thomas had that in him.

I'm excited at this kid's prospects. Go Dees.

Barry, I could only agree with you wholeheartedly. That was a great article, and I can only hope Grant's sentiments are true.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
