Where's Jack Watts?

I think this is his fifth week missing now for what started as a one week injury.

Does anyone know anything about his injury?

Please dont tell me its his foot, his back, a broken leg or its career threatening.

The silence around it all is stating to concern me.

 
 

Had a set back trying to prove his fitness.

He's very keen to get back out there ...

Thanks Harcourt, I bet he's keen to get back out there, he was putting some good games together.

In a moon boot the last few weeks for precaution, not going to rush him now - no point.

 

He injured his ankle earlier on in the year, i believe he missed one game, and re-injured it and is worse than was first thought.

Will not play again this year but should not be an ongoing problem.

Maybe he has been doing a lot of extra weights this year and is continuing to do so to build up his size. When it comes time for the start of pre season he will be ready to start working with his new frame rather than trying to build it over pre season.

Maybe a vision of putting him forward again next season.


His injuring is taking longer to heal than expected.

[censored] happens

I heard someone or the radio (no idea who) say that they are in no rush to bring him back because he has already exceeded all expectations for this season and they don't see a great deal of value in pushing him to get back on the field for a dead rubber. He has nothing left to prove this season, so they are focusing on some of the other players who maybe need to show that they can play before the end of the season.


Any further updates on Jack? Is he still alive? Anyone seen him lately?

An hour or so ago on the radio they said he is expected to come back into the side this week...

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
