Sadly, I think so.

Lack of success has damaged many a supporter, and the "accepting mediocrity blah blah" mob are so scarred that they can't enjoy any small steps forward we take.

Too bad for them.

Yeah, the 'show me the baby' crowd.

I'm enjoying the pregnancy...

Jack impressed me 5 minutes after drafting him,when he asked if there was anything he could do to attain sponsors.Have just loved following him evolving as a footballer since.Especially to the detriment of all the nay sayers.

His modesty in todays press,re his recent form, just highlights his quality.Other teams supporters already hate him,a magnificent sign,if ever I saw one.

I will sit watching him with a contentment only a star provides.

Maybe the only positive thing I took from tonight's horror is that Jack Watts is an absolute rolls royce. I watched from Level 3 and the thing that stood out was his decision making, he gets the ball and you know he will do something good with it.

He's going to be amazing at his peak.

Really like when jack intercepted the handball off the port players...from memory the commentator (i think darcy) said he won that ball because of work rate...I don't remember seeing those kinds of things in his first two years.

he didn't have a big impact on the game but he didn't disgrace himself either.

Jack is often lauded as having an enormous workrate.

Surely he is allowed the odd poor game.

I have not been a big fan but he has been one of the bright lights this year.

his game on saturday was ok with me.

I hope someone gives him a razor

Wouldn't want him turning into another Travis 'Rasputin' Johnstone

I was thinking the same thing DC

It is really worrying me!

Are we beginning to think the same?

For your sake I hope not.

I'll focus on Jack's football - he's good, he'll only get better and he will make it as a top player.

I understand what you're saying egd but he doesn't need to look like Trapper. 5'O'Clock shadow and flatten a few opposition defenders should help shed any private school silver spoon image.

I think part of the "problem" is that when we beat teams, our system makes it look like the other team is having a shocking day and not trying.

Much like Collingwood and West Coast did to us.

As tends to be the case when one team thrashed another.

When we get it right, we really get it right.

I think your right,,, But I think it's 50/50... that is when another team around our ability starts a bit off their game, we get moving with our game style & the opposition can't stop us. Confidence of a young side.

But if were playing a top 4 side, well they're a bit different, and they can slow us down & reel us in.... Physical size & experience X confidence, + depth of talent.

True, I was using a little hyperbole to make a point

Personally I didn't think it suited him and that's coming from someone with a bit of facial hair

Couple of days growth max should be enough to 'roughen' him

Your mileage may vary of course..........

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
