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.

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.

Exactly

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
