Grand Final Sprint - J Watts

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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ?

    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 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.
