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 understand he had a niggling injury but i dont think there was mention of "missing half a season".

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.

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.

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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
