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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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"

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
