Well this will be interesting.

If Jack plays, you'd imagine Glass would go to him?

Worsfold says he will play with groin soreness

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/94115/default.aspx

Roughead just burnt him on the lead every single time in the last quarter on Saturday.

Good opportunity for Jack here.

Yep perfect.

Glass looked like a spud on the weekend, groin soreness or not.

Roughead torched him and he plays in gumboots compared to the way Watts will get around the ground.

Couldn't think of a more perfect time for Jack to come in.

You guys should check out Dean Bailey's podcast on SEN from the Saturday 8/05/2010. He was asked if Jack Watts will ever be a power forward, and bailey basically went on to say the same thing that Mighty Demon just said. Jack will be what Jack is...highlighting his speed, mobility, agility etc etc.

The obvious implication being that Mighty Demon is DB.....

Being called Bails or Mighty Demon is something I can live with quite happily. :)

I spoke to Jack this afternoon and he told me Dean Bailey advised him if he puts in a similar performance this week for Casey, He will be called up for the Darwin game. I wish I could put it in concrete but I can only say what Jack told me.

I'm happy with that approach, but I so dearly want to see him play on Saturday...

Thanks for that.

I'm desperately wanting to see Jack play live, but I trust the club's approach to his development.

He needs to show some good consistent form and really push for selection over a number of weeks. I still think he'll play 10 games this season, which would be a good outcome.

Great to hear that Jack is not far away from playing

Sounds genuine, but the optimist in me says: why would JW tell random fans whether or not he's playing before the teams come out? If he is playing this week, he'd be told to keep it on the DL. Hence, he's either straight-out lying or telling the truth.

Makes sense i guess... lol.

Average post from me, really. Went round in circles. Sorry for wasting your time.

If you have read Steamins posts regularly, you would know that he has had some decent mail on JW before, so i am fairly certain he is is an old school mate, or something of that description.

And wouldn't you be a pessismist?

My apologies Dee-luded. I miss the VFL aswell!

No cheers mate.

If Jimmy wants us to be a great club we have to show respect to others as well as to our partners.

Casey is a great partner with fantastic facilities of which we've gone into a partnership with, and we need to welcome them with open arms, the club & the people of the region.

Lets make this a big winner for all our benefits.

Watts thread threatening to drop off the front page.

Hearing some noises around Watts being brought in for this week. The same noises were made from the same people last week regarding Danny Hughes.

Not that same wheel, can someone please oil it.;)

Jack watts will play this week!!

We're on the way and he will be icing on the cake. My mail is that his grwoth spurt needs management and Bailey knows what he's doing . Lets cut him some slack and enjoy the demoliton of West Coast this Saturday.

Highly amusing - but you miss the point completely.

Thanks for the new thread. Just what we needed.

Why couldn't you have posted your opening post in the current Jack Watts thread?

Is your opinion on "People getting excited about a player" so big that it needed to be a new topic?

So we have two reliable posters in Bails and Steamin'...unfortunately one says this week and the other says the following week; flip a coin I say!!

Why do people need to complain about the new thread?

He is just stating how many people have viewed the thread, which is an amazing amount.

Because it's a new thread which is about how many people have looked at another thread. And then continued on with the same topic as the other thread.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
