The Jack of Grimes

Recommended Posts

Geesus :lol:

Is she a vegetarian? The bit of extra fibre may have got her!

Dont know what you were eating. :blink:

They taste like beautiful sweet cherries. Like nice sultanas..

Better than any piece of lab made sugar-infested lolly you buy at the store and the healthiest food on earth.

But yeah.. a bit expensive.. a $24 1/2 kg bag lasts me a month- but i scoff em. You can get them at any health food store..

Mabbe Jack should be eating Gojis..

(BTW- Acai berries are good too, but i cant afford too lose the weight that goes along with it..)

Hmm sounds good.. where can I get me some of these Acai berries????? What do they taste like? Perhaps they are the dried dog food ones.. lol

As for Jack, a bug can knock you around but I am sure some good home cooking from mum and a week or two off will have him ready and rarin to go in 2010!

The bad news is that Newton (for I think it was him) has wised up and changed FB security settings to keep people out.

The word "MILF" would only have been appropriate to an 18-year-old on his first footy trip.

Things like that I don't think we as supporters should be privy to.

Through knowing a few of our players I see some photos that should be for their eyes only.

Fortunately most of them are technologically savvy enough to keep them unaccessible by the general public, but I worry there's some accidents waiting to happen...

I fully agree. One freak (not me!) starts typing in names, finds open profiles, sends links and it's on.

Though having said that if they're going to do something special like crack onto 40-year-old housewives then I must know.

If it prevents him from training, which it did, it's an injury.

Butt I won't say any more.

Hahahah well quite clearly you know the full extent of the story...

However that doesn't explain why the Mods changed the title of this thread... Clearly mis-information, and not what I had originally posted as the headline.

Merry Christmas demonland!

Yep, Acai are the dry dog food ones ;)

Theyre ground up and taste like a peppery, spicey blah!

I used to stir a spoonful into a glass of V8 and SKULL! :lol:

But yeah, i dont store fat, so when i lose weight its muscle - so had to give em up for now..

EDIT: grab em at a health food store too

it would be interesting if he was injured this season, did not play a game for carlton and got traded back at the end of 2010 to captain the dees to a premiership in 2011.

i suppose we'll have to wait and see if he plays a game for them...

There is no doubt the club is wrapping this guy up in cotton wool- they know the ramifications if last year is revisited-(the press will be all out to get him),.although I think he performed adequately. Jack will start to really show his true worth after a couple of pre seasons possibly 3 more. I have no doubt he will be a sensation - however we all have to be very patient with him.

Do you really think the press is that much of an issue?

I still pay the 'bad press' of last year no mind.

I think supporters feel it more acutely than either the club or Watts himself.

Confidence is really a major component to a player and yes, I do believe that if the press really got into him - it could really affect him. However, the major saving grace is - his personality probably would not affect him like some others and Bails will not play him until he is really ready. I got from the news report that Williams thinks that the club will not play him till he is ready-- whenever that is.

The minute we start developing our players based on perceived future media pressure we may as well give it all away.

Agree. Watts was always going to be developed over a couple of years. This is his first pre season and he has much growing and development to do as a footballer. I would not be surprised if he play less than 14 games this year and in a variety of positions too to learn the trade.

I didn't say that- read my post properly.

However I agree with the 3 yrs or so for development

But what has that got to do with the press?

Surely, as soon as they start their career they are advised to not read the papers, and pay them no mind.

Add to that the fact he fully understands his won situation, that of being younger than most draftees and an underdeveloped KPP, and I doubt he'd let it get him down.

Moreso, I think he'd find it frustrating and be determined to get his body right and prove the doubters wrong.

Either way, I think some of us see the media as having more power over players than it does in reality.

That is a matter of opinion- I respect yours and agree with some aspects only.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
