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.

Win, lose or draw, the Bay is going to have an absolute field day with this.

you should think alot more in general.

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

Odds on he will slip over....

Yeah I hope he goes for the screw-ins not the moulded!

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.

Does anyone know when the race will be run?

He seemed to just jog the heat.

Did he qualify?

Did he qualify?

I dont know to be honest. first four went through and he seemed to just pull up on the line. I think he qualified though.

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

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.

Was looking forward to him being in it.....

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.
