Jack Watts - is his attitude right?

In other words, you don't have any evidence.

No Nasher.

I have enough to form my own opinion, read the post. This issue is so ridiculously emotive that it makes many intelligent posters on here blinded.

Here's an idea. Let's rehash this topic at about this time tomorrow, when we have seen JW's efforts and all important 'attitude' out on the MCG tomorrow? Makes sense to me!

Agreed.

Also, this would have to be the worst thread title ever.

I suggest "Watts his attitude like"

Or just delete this 2 page dribble. Its the same as what went on the last thread. No need to start a fresh thread for this rumour file

Please someone direct me to the bits where Melbourne Supporters are willing Jack to fail?

Can I paraphrase th thoughts of all Melbourne people by saying.

May Jack Watts become a champion of the Melbourne Football Club, May he be our greatest goal-kicker and forward and a multiple premiership player.

No-one here on demonland wishes any different.

Cmon Dees...big win against the toasters tomorrow.

I don't see anything wrong with Watts getting drunk every now n then. He's 19 years old. What kind of teenager would he be if he wouldn't occasionally go out n have drinks with mates. Not everyone is like Scully who has been training like a professional since 14 years old.

The extreme end of the spectrum is Colin Sylvia, who was well-known for having large amounts of coke/booze regularly on weekends throughout his first couple of seasons. And even in that extreme case, he has now managed to sort himself out and is playing good footy and turned his life around. Watts is no way like Colin was. To me he appears to be a really mature young guy who knows he's bloody talented and is coming to terms with being a household name at the age of 19!

I honestly don't know what Watts does on his nights off, and honestly i'm not too worried about it. He's not missing training sessions, he's playing good footy at Casey (now hopefully translate that to AFL level). People should just relax n let him show us what he can do

Rarely do I feel inclined to make comment on a topic on Demonland. As I have said many times, I enjoy Demonland and Demonology and encourage our staff to read the forums.

I must say in this case, some of the comments are disappointing and well off-beam.

We make a point of not being defensive in our attitude towards opinions on the merits of our performance, but I will also make a point of defending good young men who are committed to your football club.

I have great confidence in our players, as well as the coaches and administrators who are guiding their careers.

Taking it easy with his leg?

Well Said Cam. It's about time a few on here just took a deep breath & stopped B S about a topic they know nothing about.

It's the kind of stuff the HUN & collingwood supporters do well. I hope we are above that level.

Let's all give Jack the same cheers we gave Danny Hughes Last Week.

WTF would anyone on here know about JW's attitude anyway?

This crap has been going on for months & i have had enough...You wanna burn the kid out before he starts?...Well i Don't B)

Good work, sir. I have the utmost faith that the MFC has done a great job weeding out or sorting out the "non-hackers" and the playing group we have is moving forward as one. I have no doubt that if there was any truth to the rumours he would not be considered for senior selection until the issue was sorted.

As for the posters I think it is just a case of people getting a bit excited about young Jack and then latching on to rumours in the absence of other news. I'm sure it will calm down pretty soon.

Poor guy has got so many doubters out there if i was in the same position i'd of

pulled all my hair out about now. Cant wait till we talk about his footy rather than trivial hearsay nonsense.

Cam if your still here how far away realistically is Blease from a senior debut 6 months or more.

I know we need to be conservative due to his injury but he was so exciting when playing for Metro.

Remember thinking this guy has got speed to burn.

Sam Blease will be brought along slowly. We have a high regard as everyone knows, but he is coming back from a serious injury.

Getting a few sore spots, which is not unusual given the nature of his injury. Having a rest this week.

Still very young and will be given plenty of time.

Good group of young players who came through the Vic Metro system together including Watts, Scully, Strauss, Fitzpatrick, Blease and Gawn.

Don't rush him Cam, i spoke to Nathan Brown (Richmond) last week-Good Bloke, he still gets a bit of pain in his leg, so he will probably have to always manage it.

As he was still young and growing it should not effect his Pace or performance. Just a little more mental toughness to forget any aches he has.

Excellent response sir. Keep up the great work, and looking forward to seeing you at the game in the leathers.

I am very excited about seeing Jack back in the team. I for one do not care whether NikNat gets more possessions than Jack etc.....He does not play for the MFC. In my opinion we required a key fwd of Jack's ability more than a ruck style of NikNat, therefore end of story comparisons. Really the comparisons are just becoming very silly

I am very happy with how Jack is progressing and I am glad MFC picked him as our 2008 #1

Wishing Jack all the best in his first game for MFC in 2010. I know he will do all that is required of him

Go Jack and Go Dees

Sorry if I'm setting the bar to high but what's required of him is to take part in 3-5 winning premierships over his career, a couple of Coleman Medals, a Brownlow or 2, a Keith Truscott Medal, a Norm Smith Medal and also a stable relationship with a beautiful and intelligent women. He won't be able to achieve this tomorrow which is unfortunate. :lol:

Let's support the young man and watch the magic unfold - ala jurrah/scully/grimes/trengove!

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
