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.

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.

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.

Personally, I'd prefer them to be playing.

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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,
