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.

Putting too much thought into it. Counts for jack all. It's just a hit and giggle.

The only thing that interests me is that young jack has obviously no injury problems/surgery so he should be ready to go preseason day one. Big preseason. Smash it.

Go Jack Watts Go!

Thanks for your advice-Enforcer & HT tell me reguarly.

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

That too. He has missed the trip to Bali.

if he missed his Bali trip, thats not a bad thing, last years trip was a setback

Is it wrong to be more excited about this than the Grand Final itself? Don't get me wrong, I'm pumped for the game, but I'm even more pumped to see Jack Watts' blistering pace. Don't forget, he was able to keep up with Lewis Jetta at the end of the Sydney game, so he's no slouch.

Did he qualify?

Came fourth out of nine, but looked to me to be at about 60% the whole way through. I don't know how the handicap thing works in the real one at half-time, but I think that if thee is one, Jackie boy will have a fair head start.

He seemed to just jog the heat.

Yeah. He seemed to go hard for the first 20 meters and then took the foot off the pedal. I was watching it with the sound down and the radio on so I just figured it was a warm up the way he cantered.

Fascinating heats. I don't think I've ever seen so many runners trying so hard not to qualify for a final. Jack Watts might have just fallen in as the fastest fifth placegetter.

I don't think any of them even exercised their hammies let alone twanged them.

Does anyone know if he made the final sprint for half time? Had $10 on him with a mate.

Yes, he is in. Not sure if he wanted to be or was just going for the best handicap :huh:

How do you know he is in. Commentator said maybe Douglas just before him. Was 5th quickest in his heat or the other?

pretty impressed with the singing of the club songs - a bit different but stirring

I'd have to give it (narrowly) to the St.Kilda bird - she was terrific

A good omen for the Aints ?

NO WATTS IN THE GRAND FINAL SPRINT?!!!!

WTF!!!!!

Worst day ever.

Meh. Winning that is like dancing with your sister.

Yeeeah. I wasn't really serious.

At the time I thought Pies would win it easy, so I was mostly disappointed about that.

Obviously wrong, thought he had Douglas on the line.

He didn't.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
