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 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..........

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
