I've had a few heated arguments with my mate who reckons we wasted our pick.

I'm convinced, more so since reading this article, that Jack will be alright.

    He will be great. What a magnificent photo.

    Jeez he has bulked up nicely, glad to see the chest take some size too, means more strength in the one on ones!

    2010 is going to be an exciting yesr for us all!

    Taken at a good angle to enhance. Helps too with a weight (~20Kg). ;)

    Only kidding, he has indeed bulked up.

    Yeah i do understand that sort of thing, my wife does a lot of Photography, but compared to what he was, seems more than 8kg :)

    If he changes his hair colour to a strong blond, he is starting to look more like at current day St Kilda star. Let everyone think we wasted our No1 pick next year we will see a more confident Watts although he won't dominate games just yet we are going to see him and Jurrah working together. Next week is exciting and I can't wait for next season.

    I sense some jealously in this thread ;)

    This kid is gold, and will be a star. I also predict a few raunchy magazine shoots (ala Ben Cousins, but minus the drugs), before his career is over :wub:

    I was looking at the list of #1 picks there, and I got to noticing a few things:

    A: Kreuzer has nearly racked up 50 games, only 2 seasons after being recruited as a ruckman, no less. Has played some handy footy in there too. Gee that's impressive.

    B: If the old story that a player makes his mark between 100 and 200 games is to be believed, then Carlton may indeed be "coming" like they keep telling us.

    C: If I was to choose one player from those pick #1s, I'd probably pick Riewoldt first... But after that I'd take Watts. Seriously. And even then Jack has the potential to knock Nick off the top.

    Great article, the photo is deceiving but its still good to read that he has already put on 8kg. 2 more years and he will be the 95kg, fast, strong, agile forward that will have opposition teams worried!

  • Quote

    Leave Conners before it's too late Jack.

    Was thinking that myself - ripping him off already too! :angry:

    $ 130 a week.... bloody hell, centrelink pays better than that!

    Yep, on the back page holding that weight certainly helps.

    The pic on page 123 isn't anywhere near as impressive.

    It might take a couple of preseasons before he reaches AFL size. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen.

    Ha. Seems like you're speaking from experience..

    Great Article-I get the Feeling Jack really wants to get into action next year.

    The Spotlight doesn't seem to have bothered him at all either.

    Let all the other supporters laugh at our "wasted" pick...We shall laugh longest as the saying goes

    Go for it "charlie"

    My jaw dropped when I saw the back page today. He is HUGE already. Imagine another 7-10kg's on his 195cm frame. He's going to be a mountain of a man.

    Interesting quote in Jacks' article.

    'So, what are his expectations for 2010?

    "I think I'll play up forward. Highly doubt whether I'll be the main forward this year. Just my body, that sort of thing. Try to snag a few goals while I'm at it," he said.

    "I've got to get my body right, the aerobic fitness at AFL level is just unbelievable. I've got a lot of work to do."

    No surprises here. He still needs another year before he holds down a key forward positon. Look at Kurt Tippet.

    This is a possible forward line for next year.

    Hf Bate, Miller, Jurrah

    FF Watts, Johnson, Wonaeamirri.

    This is not a long term list. However it does put 3 big experienced guys next to 3 pups who've played less than 20 games each.

    Bailey has a tricky job next year. He has to develop players and also remain competitive and win games.

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
