Did they say he is playing for Casey next week?

Absolutely stinging to see this guy in the red and blue now that some other kids are standing up and we are not a complete basket case

How many weeks at Casey are we expecting, given there are still heaps out injured and not a huge amount of competition for him to break into the side

What role are we expecting? I'd like to see him on the HFF

Would love to see him, Sylvia & Garland back asap. Adds a bit of class.....

lets remember he is 18 and it took ages for Gumbleton, Kennedy, Hawkins, Tippett, Mitc Clark etc to to anything......

that's true, and he was yopunger than those blokes when drafted, had school commitments plus has already had several injuries. Just getting impatient, I know it is nobody's fault but want to see him out there

Bailey has stated that Watts needs to play a couple of games at Casey before getting a senior call up... he mention two games in the twos and Watts should be back about round 4 or 5 (all this info was just prior to rnd 1) in the red and blue.

Not sure if the 50% (last week) he played counts as one game so I reckon he will be back for rnd 5.

I am tipping Jacky Watts to come back a couple games before we play Carlton.. then he can get his match fitness a bit higher for our match with the blues..

We win... he kicks 4 and cleans up brock mclean... then stands over him and say " Good choice mate... "

For the much vaunted #1 pick of a draft introducing itself into the best-of-all-time ranks, Jack is becoming quite the enigma --- no thanks to a disturbing lack of communication between the club and its members.

For instance, is he on a modified program due to his back and unavailable until Round 4? If so, why were supporters asking of him in the past weekend's Casey game?

Personally, I think Watts puns should be a bannable offence. Especially recycled Watts puns.

Watts for? It's often the only thing Watts Watts thread titles use to give away Watts the thread's point is. And if you don't know Watts the thread's about, then Watts going to make you click on it so you can say Watts you think?

On on the couch, they asked hodgey if he had any advice for Watts as a former #1 who spent his first few years injured while Ball and Judd ripped it up at other clubs.

He just said the club told him that not to worry about it and only concentrate on what the club want's him to do, and I dare say MFC would be saying the same to watts.

You forgot the scenario that somehow injures Judd, Warnock and Johnson as well. Not sure how you're going to get to Johnson sitting in the stands but I'm sure we'll find a way.

Ugh...

How many of this exact thread do we need????

There is no 'disturbing lack of communication' on this issue. It couldn't be clearer.

Jack had some injury issues that interrupted his pre-season. He is working through those and will have to perform well at VFL level in order to earn a call-up. VFL season starts on Saturday, we will be told how he plays, I assure you.

This has been repeated ad nauseum across all manner of different media.

We are not going to get a minute-by-minute commentary on how Jack went at training today, whether he thought Avatar should've won Best Picture or if he decided this morning it would be easier to just wear the same pair of jocks again rather than do a load of washing.

Honestly people, read a book or something to pass the time.

Am I reading a little too much into Bailey's comments on Footy Classified when he said "Jack's application is (slight pause) fine". He wouldn't talk about McKenzie's application in that way, or Scully's. I know the club is doing it's best to not hype him up after all the hype he started with, but i'm starting to wonder if it has now turned into a effort to lower expectations.

For anybody who was at the training on Good Friday will know that Watts did the whole session and then a bit more, he looks fine, so does Col Garland, Col Sylvia also trained strongly......but the club is being CAUTIOUS...as with the exasperation expressed by Inner Demon.....there is no conspiracy, the club is making sure that everybody is fit and firing and can stand up to the rigours of a full AFL game and then some.......I want Watts to come in and stay in and to actually play CHF, I hate to think what Lake, Scarlett etc would do to him if he is not physically ready.

They have worked on Blease and now he is ready and I am sure we will see both him and Gysberts in the very near future, as well as Watts

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
