Was listening to James Macdonald being interviewed on 3aw last night. Admitted that Jack Watts has a back injury and has hardly done any pre-season - unlikely to play in the first half of the season...

The above is from a friend of mine. Can anyone else vouch for this?

I listened to that interview and I am sure there was no mention of him missing half the season. But he did mention a niggle with his back which has precluded him from training.

I was at at BBQ with Jack on the weekend and he told me that he had a VERY slight quad strain and was 50/50 for the NAB cup opener against Freo.

So was that "virus" pre xmas we all heard about actually this back problem? People have been mentioning him in recent training reports so i assume he is now training?

I'm sure there was an article on the MFC site about a month ago which indicated that Jack had been ill before Christmas, but he was now back on the track and a possibility for Round 1. Also, there were reports on here of him doing some ruck-work at training on 8 Feb., and I can't imagine that this would be the case if he had a long-term injury.

Junior certainly DID NOT say "Jack Watts has a back injury and has hardly done any pre-season." NOR did he say "unlikely to play in the first half of the season." What he said was that Jack hasn't had the pre-season he would have liked, and he's had a few niggles.

What bits did McDonald say, and what bits did your friend say. That paragraph makes absolutely no sense.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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.
