Don't give a crap if he wins, as long as he doesn't do his hammy!

    Hope Watts didn't need to miss the end of season trip for this garbage.

    Watch the loonies on AFL forums Australia wide get stuck into him if he doesn't win wacko.gifdemon_rolleyes.gif

    Or if he rips the hammy off his bone in front of over a billion people. Personally, I'd prefer to keep our blue-chip draftees in front of the tv for GF day.

    Agree. Why didn't they put someone like Strauss or Bennell in ?

    Because he's faster. Second fastest non aboriginal at DC in 15 years.

    Why do people worry about a player doing a hamstring in a footrace when said players repeatedly practice their sprinting over summer ? I hate it that some supporters spend their lives worrying about things that may, or may not happen. It reminds me of my elderly Mother.

    Thanks for sending me up H. Your mother must have been something else to think along the same lines as me. B)

    Is the race really that significant though H, that we submit JW ? What does the club get out of it btw ?

    Good luck to him anyway, I hope he beats Jetta by a short half-head.

    Didnt think Watts was a sprinter, he got caught alot when playing :rolleyes:

    What are his odds?

    I would give 25/1-however he is quick over 5/10 metres.Sorry changed to 6 to 1 after Hannabal's post.And furthermore after serious thinking, the FD would not allow him to run if he didn't have a fair chance.Odds shortening the more I think about it.

    He was the fastest in one sprint, never seen him do that in a game.

    Hahaha - if they continue with the handicap trend, he should get a solid head start one would think!!!

    I don't give him much chance at all... but then again I don't really care. It's a bit of fun, sure... but all I care about is that he has one of the best pre-seasons, puts on 10kg's, is uninjured and is fit and firing for 2011.

    Odds on he will slip over....

    2.82 at DC, but prior to that has a 2.79 against his name at a state screening, so it's not just "one" race.

    Game day fast and sprinting are two different things. He'll learn the former.

    Thats potentially a billion..lol

    Get your AFL spin correct :)

    he's only 19...body should be able to do this stuff without any worries...he's quick runner according to his stats.

    if he wins it doesn't mean much and if he loses then he's used to embarrasing himself...

    good luck jack...enjoy the day.

    Alright then. Potentially 'over' a billion. :)

    Personally, I'd prefer them to be playing.

    That too. He has missed the trip to Bali.

    Every success adds a bit of confidence. The FD believes in him. Many supporters are beginning to believe. He just needs to grow in his own self belief. Every goal counts, every pass counts, every mark counts, every smart play counts. A good sprint in front of the billion????? counts. Every win in front of your opponent counts. I am going for the win.

    Good point. Chance to perform on GF day; even if it is a sprint.

    ohhh i reckon we have to lock in J.WATTS now.

    Rhys Stanley is still at long odds to get a game tomorrow. and has pulled out of the sprint.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
