Any source or just opinion?

source. But I will clarify, in our conversation it was more about what was not said, which says more! If that makes sense!!

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 have no reason to disbelieve your post, but I'll say this...

I doubt Jack himself would be told by the Tuesday or Wednesday that he would be playing on Saturday, or even that the match committee would have made that decision by now.

Bailey wouldve told him he needs to keep the hard work up as a precursor but there is every chance they might decide the timing is perfect to introduce him.

I'm of the opinion the timing is perfect for Jack alone.

Not sure if it is perfect for the side.

Dunn hasn't underperformed in my eyes and Danny Hughes deserves a chance to build on last week.

If Jack comes in, who goes out?

The only solution obvious to me is PJ and then Dunnout of the forward line and playing as 2nd ruckman.

I'm not sure how wise that is against the Eagles ruck combo.

Maybe we could make that combo work for us though, if Dunn can take advantage of NicNat getting lost in general play.

Bear in mind that Watts is quite a bit bigger than Dunn and has been doing some ruck training as well as his other work...

I would bare my bum in Bourke St if JW played in the ruck against NikNat.

What next (face palm.)

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.

Jack is a friend of my family, So I wouldn't say I was a random fan. Jack mentioned this to me when I asked when he expected to play. It was in general conversation and not to be taken as iron clad. It could be this week, next week or the week after. One thing for sure is he will be playing soon, As I mentioned earlier he told me the coach said if he puts in a similar performance as last week he will play the Darwin game.

When I do get to speak to Jack I usually post it on here because I know people are very excited about him playing, So any info I get I post it EXACTLY how I was told. Don't shoot me down if I'm a week off as I am not on the inner sanctum.

Your story sounds more reliable than mine.

If you have read Steamins posts regularly, you would know that he has had some decent mail on JW before,

Agreed.

There seems to be a fair bit of mail on Jack playing but not much on the likely exclusion for him????

Would love to see him play and get a bit of continuity with this fantastic young group, but I can't see him playing yet from what I hear (which is only media talk that starts with DB).

Assumptions for replacements are straight forward - Dunn or PJ. Dunn deserves more of a run....he has limitations when you stack him up against some of the other talent, his commitment is NOT limited and deserves the spot....Cale Morton will be coming for his spot I would imagine.

PJ? The Russian has had a super year thus far, the last two weeks he has been a bit less of an influence....maybe being the lone ruckman works better for Russian even having to go against Cox and # 2 08 Draft pick (what's his name?) and a Dunn, Bruce maybe could be used to run off (whats his name?).

Therefore:

In - Watts

Out - Johnson

He will play this weekend.

most likely at the expense of Lynden Dunn

Id be a bit shocked to see Dunn go out, he has done pretty well despite a few mistakes.

Unless the coaching staff are thinking the few mistakes are a big issue.

Either way it will be interesting come 5pm.

Fair smack in the chops for Dunn if true. Barring injury he might find it very hard to ever get back into this side.

I'll be happy to see Jack Watts get a run but not at the expense of Dunn. That potato that is masquerading as the footballer Paul Johnson should be the only name they need to put up as an out.

PJ gets a run over dunn because of cox and TicTat.

dunn is a steady player but i haven't seen signs of him improving on the player he is. ie., he's as good as he's ever going to get.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
