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 was thinking the opposite looks a bit tougher with a bit of growth... shedding the Brighton grammer golden child image...

    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.

    agree, he's getting the Beowulf look.

    I reckon hes got a lot of work to do to get anywhere near TJ!!

    The beard suits him. It makes him look more manly for his young age. He's putting on more muscle too which is a good thing.

    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..........

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      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?
