      31
    • Fitzpatrick (the developing forward/ruck yet to debut)
      3
    • Viney Jr (we've all heard about the nuggety 16-year old!)
      9

We are impressively inundated with Jack's!!! Why "impressively"??? Because they are ALL fantastic future prospects beyond belief!!! Disregarding Fitz (because he is obviously hard to judge at present), all these Jack's could arguably be in our Top 5 players 5 years down the track.

Vote away!

    Like a few said in the other thread Jack Darling could be in that mix. This whole potential 6 Jack thing is starting to get ridiculous, I love it.

    And if he does- he could end up the best of the Jack's..

    This is a tough one - Watts has the most natural talent, and Grimesy will have the determination and drive to get him far.

    Watts by a nose.

    Hahaha. Would be creepy!!!

    We could have a centreline full of Jack's soon enough!!! Hrmmm we just need a Jack ruckman - maybe Jake Spencer could legally change his name to Jack; it's close enough...

    Edit: Although Jack Fitzpatrick will be a 2nd tier ruckman. Food for thought....

    It's certainly a story line to be told grand final day. Will the recruiting staff be feted for this talent scouting coup as Hawthorn were in 08, focusing their attention on left footers? :unsure:

    Jack Darling it must be at pick 12. Unless another club is on to us & our strategy :huh:

    Edit: I would prefer the OP start the Jack Grimes description with, Superstar & captain in the making. Then maybe a mention of the injury issues. ;)

    Jack Grimes for me!

    i believe they will be all great in different ways haha :)

    Sensible point.

    Watts as the big strong KPP CHF - crash packs, take big marks and a booming dangerous kick.

    Grimes as a captain prodigy and help glue the backline together.

    Trengove will be our tough in-and-under type. Not afraid to get the hard ball.

    Fitzpatrick is another KPP prodigy much like that of Hale - forward/ruck.

    Viney the ball magnet. Tough and ruthless.

    It's what his potential will be...

    I have reserved judgment with Fitz at the moment after only seeing tiny bits of his footy in 2010.

    What makes you say that? The club are pretty impressed with his progress so far.

    If we pick up Jack Dowling and young Jack Viney that'll also be 17 players on our list whos first or second name starts with J... Should've chased Jesse White!

    USELESS INFORMATION:

    In the paper this week, it was reported that "Jack" is currently the most common name for babies. :)

    USELESS INFORMATION # 2:

    Yes, having a 2 & 1 year old, just been through the baby names. Jack would be top 3 for the past 5-10 years.

    Did try the Jack, had two shots at it and the better half shot me down.

    Trengove. His Brownlow will beat Watts' dual Norm Smiths

    Well I had to pick in order to vote .. Chose Grimes but in all reality they will all be guns in own right . What a hardship having to choose from that line up !!!! :)

    I probably should have voted for the one that will have the biggest impact on our flags, not necessarily the best player.. with that in mind I'd change from Trengovernment to KillaWatts

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
