Jack Watts panelist on The Footy Show tonight

[Watt and Howe? 16]

He's a very relaxed media performer and I'm sure TFS people can see that, but the last thing I would like to see is Watts becoming a regular on that 'nudge, nudge, wink, wink', mindless piece of carp. I watched the first twenty minutes last night to see how he went. On the odd occasion that i watch it I feel a mixture of shame and embarrassment (that I am watching it) and anger at the culture it perpetuates.

Sick of hearing this carp*. If you don't like the show then don't watch it. Stop whinging. End of Story.

You're opinions wont be missed..

And yours?

This is Demonland, not The Footy Show.

At Demonland we all give opinions of various things surrounding the Melbourne Demons and AFL footy in general.

Welcome.

This is commenting on a tv show of which there is an option to not watch it. I'm not religious but I'm not one to go and tell religious people I dislike religion, I choose not to follow it, if they follow it good for them...Different example following a similar notion.

Various opinions are welcome when discussing players of the MFC, news stories regarding AFL etc; the opinion was on the merits of television show presented, not the MFC and AFL.

That's typically idiotic Bailey nonsense. I don't watch the show, but we can't expect all footy players and coaches to present to the media as dry and devoid of personality as DB.

And you are reacting to a nonsense claim as i dont even watch the show and know that both Moloney and Green have been on the show during Baileys reign.

If BJ is Brendan Goddard ( BG) it's no wonder I couldn't work out who he is ! As I said, pardon my ignorance. (no offense to RM , perhaps BJ was a typo ? )

Funny you should talk about religion - footy is mine.

If a show is called The Footy Show - they can be critiqued...

This is the biggest team forum in the AFL and the second biggest forum to Bigfooty.

We are well within our rights to voice our opinion on a football show.

not a typo. its 'bj'. well known actually...

Thank you Watt and Howe . In fact , I have just been informed by my brother that he is so known . As someone who has been going to Dee games (and non- Dee games of interest ) since 1965 , I cannot believe this nickname has escaped my notice . Just goes to show something. -- maybe that we can't know everything . Almost embarrassing ,but in the scheme of things I'm not fussed . Thank you , I am always happy to learn .

Funny how jack said that the whole club had changed since neeld's arrival, yet jack is yet to meet the coach.

Since Neeld's appointment we have had two assistants and fitness manager been moved out, another assistant moved to the midfield and one more out to football manager. We have the leading fitness guru onboard and have snared a reported up and coming coaching talent from TAC. The football manager has been moved from football to admin.

Now thats the bricks and mortar changes. The attitudal change that has been made ( and yes ...talk is cheap) by bringing a coach who espouses "hardness" and displays a no nonsense approach - apart from coming from the most successful team of the last two years - cannot be downplayed.

I suggest that I would raise an eyebrow if Jack had said nothing has changed since Neelds appointment

( I'm thinking your statement was tongue in cheek ?)

I don't remember telling you not to watch it. I was merely stating my own misgivings about the program. I stand by that statement and I definitely find it a depressing aspect of our culture. I don't regard myself as sanctimonious or precious. You may well have a different view.

GREAT! DO THAT! but do it on another thread...

Thank you BB . As I have just posted--- always happy to learn -- in fact I thrive on it .

If you read my post you would see I did not say you told me not to watch it. Watch you did do however was tell me how much you disliked the show - there is a difference. If you wish to make comments about the show then please do so on another individual thread. I'll help with the title - 'why I do not like the footyshow.' The thread was started to let people know Jack was on the footyshow, not as a medium for you to express your dislike.

[rpfc 28,433]

GREAT! DO THAT! but do it on another thread...

Why?

If people give a crap enough about JW on the TFS, they should be allowed to say their piece about the show he is on.

Get over it.

Thanks for the advice.

that was jack trengove...

TS was on also when he first got drafted, and was as nervous as a cat in chinatown!

[Slartibartfast 17,283]

rpfc and W&H, enough.

Thanks

I can't watch it because I have this allergic reaction to Sam Newman. Everytime I see his face my shoe ends up in my hand and then being flinged at my TV. Doctors tell me it is muscular - I had the same strange reaction to Richard Carlton.

Wasn't T$ standing in between Jonno Brown and Bazza Hall on that epsiode?

If I were an 18 year old, at the size he was, knowing I'd be playing against these blokes in a couple of months, I'd be nervous too...!!!

[brendan 3,437]

personally i love TFS i certainly dont watch it 4 anything to do with footy i watch on the coach if i want footy talk, TFS is just some light humour and i watch it every week, just like before the game you cant take it seriously

[Arrow 1,257]

This thread is about Jack Watts and his appearance on The Footy Show. I have no idea why you are bringing up forum etiquette and my 'needs.'

Deal with thread topics in the appropriate thread...

Ironic, you two have spent half the thread fighting with whether it's a good show or not.

To me the thread title read's about how Jack was on the show and what he said..

Onto other matters, can someone please post the general jist of what JW talked about? Worked till late and forgot to record it but am intrigued to know how he spoke and what we spoke about.

I find the show puerile in the extreme - then again I watch the WWE wrestling religiously. so maybe I have a twisted view of puerile.

Haha, yeah.

He's even more arrogant, egomaniacal, and dismissive.

Hannabal with better comedy...

I'm just kidding, H. I would have used an emoticon but I don't use emoticons...

My only fear re Dawes is that he may be another Miller... shows a lot of promise but is unable to deliver it except for a few all too infrequent glimpses. Then again, I still believe he is definitely worth a go.

Much bigger, stronger and a much better kick. Miller's problem was that he was too shaky in front of goals, so he had to play further upfield. Dawes will play the role of the big gorilla in the arc that will allow Jurrah, Green, Watts and Pettard some freedom to lead harder.
