There was a gastro bug that hit the team before the darwin game

Any source to this havnt heard it mentioned anywhere?

I don't know about the team as a whole, but apparently Jack Watts was quite ill in the week leading up to the game.

Not great for Jack obviously but if true comforting to me, gives us a genuine reason why his stella form didn't continue. Would be hard enough running around up there losing Kgs let alone being sick the week prior.

I'm glad it's a comfort to you...

Kids have bad games.

Apparently Jack's was a chest infection.

If Jack had a bout of Gastro, i would very much doubt he would be drinking Powerade. But that said, if he had a chest infection then it may explain why he was knackered in the second half.

82% humidity with a chest indfection/Gastro would be Hell to to deal with.

All power to you "Charlie" in at least taking the field....This weeks build up to the Hawthorn game will be a great test for this club.

I'm not arguing with you, but why was he playing if he'd been sick? I would have thought 'Watts (ill)' in the team list on Thursday night would have been the way to go. And then perhaps Bate (someone else?) could have played. I guess the club thought he had recovered sufficiently to play.

You said it...with Bate as the option...

What the?? I know this, however if he was sick in the lead up to this game it may not be just that "kids have bad games" He looked sluggish from the get go, not just from the heat.

Here he is on the flight up to Darwin, applying medication to get to the game.

I heard Howe had it as well.

"Flying High" is one of the greatest comodies of all time!!! Thanks for that....

Ithought his game was ok... Did some good things . Wasnt a ball tearer but still did allright.

I'm a bit disappointed that after clicking on this thread I wasn't presented with an even wackier conspiracy theory.
