    Yeah, he's got a bit to go though.

    He's more like 'Jill' than 'Jack', ATMO.

    Why is it that I have a problem with articles from this source? A fairy floss fluff piece is about what I expect from SportsNewsFirst whose reputation precedes it.

    I prefer to see players playing great football during the season to being informed how they're training the house down in December. Every AFL club has players doing that at this time of year.

    Gee, if the only 'Jills' you know have that much facial hair ...

    Interesting the quote from Brown that Jack is a KPP especially as there has been speculation here and elsewhere that he may be used as a winger.

    But as the previous poster has suggested, training the house down in preseason doesn't always translate into season success: that said however a bulked up, fit and fired up JW is still an exciting thought.

    HaHaHa, Lets just say he's proven nothin' yet & has a Looong Ways to go before he's playing real AFL footy level.

    It was nice to see his 'have a go' attitude which turned up after about Rnd 5, or 6ish... but that only showed us he wants to try.

    Noe it's time for him to start morphing into manhood.

    Like Daisy Williams (Thomas) did last Year.

    Master Watts can do it as well, eventually. It may as well be this summer. He can take a Leaf from Trenners book. Theres a start for him.

    Re the Facial Hair, I was born with more Bum fluff that he has on his upper lip.

    And my Granny has more stubble. B)

    Brown has a hard job next year IMO.

    He obviously needs to implement a structure that accommodates Clark, Watts, Jurrah with Martin and possibly Jamar rotating through, but he has no obvious small forward (perhaps Davey) and a lot of mid size target type forwards to also use in an effective way: Howe, Petterd, Green etc.

    In short, it seems to me that he has a lot of potential targets, though no crumbers.

  • Quote

    Just saw the thread about Davey. Perhaps he will be the small forward Brown needs. Is he training with the forward group?

    Also, anyone able to give an update on how Lawrence is coming on? Could he play an effective role in a big forward line at AFL level in 2012?

    Reckon you've got the wrong bloke. Daisy Williams morphed into manhood over 30 years ago.

    Your Right,,, Williams was a great little player. I thought up the wrong name.

    Daisy Thomas...of course.

    Glad you sorted out the right Daisy there dee-luded :)

    If he's deadset focused on becoming bigger, faster and stronger then that is great stuff. Undoubtedly has talent to burn but he has come across as somewhat casual in his approach previously.

    Who were Collingwoods small forwards last year?

    Geelong's?

    This idea that you need a specific crumber is misguided.

    You need all players working to apply defensive pressure to cause turnover and in turn scoring opportunities.

    Every player can be a crumber.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
