He'd have to be one of the best interviewees in the AFL.

    Pretty cool is Bailey, never seems ruffled and that must be hard on a show like that where they take the p/s out of you all the time. He is certainly sick of Jack Watts questions and the announcement that they were going to have a Where's Jack Watts segment was very good.

    Bailey is well composed during media interviews, spot on there.

    Bailey is going to hate the Watts question more when Watts gets his first of many games in a few weeks. Watts is not going to come out and kick 6 goals in his first game this season nor is he going to have a impact the media will expect from him. All the media will be focused on how Watts is crap blah blah blah, and how Nic Nat is so much better blah blah blah. People just do not get it, Nic Nat is a ruck, Watts is a forward, lets compare apples with apples.

    Nic Nat is 11 months older than Jack Watts. Eleven months ago, Nic Nat was still to make his debut.

    They play in different positions.

    It's going to be a while before we're really going to be in a position to compare their careers.

    Exactly. And even then, Jack's going to have to wear a pineapple on his head to get as much recognition as Nick, Nat an' Nui. It's unfair to compare one player to three anyway (don't blame me for that joke, blame Cometti).

    It gets rather annoying comparing Watts and Naitanui when 6 teams decided to pass up Daniel Rich who won the Rising Star Award

    Havent heard that question asked by the media yet :rolleyes:

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
