Good to see we are measuring our expectations. Jack watts says hi

Hopefully Watts follows his example of taking the game on, and play on your natural instincts. We've seem glimpse's of what he is capable of, time to put it all together.

Really interested to see how JKH backs up next game, we've been screaming for a small forward with goal smarts for years.

I see JKH every second night, walking down that subway with his headphones on, worried about shadows that turn out to be protective services officers. ^_^

Stokes for sure. Neat kick, little bit of pace, gets to the right spots all the time.

Christensen is a much more inside player, he's not bad in space but his real talent is stoppages.

Just wondering what others who have been down to training thought about this......

JKH is the most intense trainer I've seen at a Melbourne training session. He trains as if he has Roos watching his every move. His hands at ground level are ridiculous at full pace, lightning quick, his skills are very sharp, and his work rate from what I've seen is the highest on the track. His highlight reel from last year showed a kid who played on at all costs and backed his pace. Combine that with our lack of successful small forwards and it's something to get excited about.

Just something to be positive about after a difficult decade. And I know positivity is a rare occurrence on here and will probably get picked off by the haters.

JKH is on fire!

From reading the above link we are obviously blessed to have this dead gorgeous fine young man as one of our neighbours

JKH in an ad for PSO's:-

So I suppose we have our PSOs to thank for the fact that a young black man can at last walk alone in a deserted train station tunnel late at night without fear of reprisal.

Would the club support him, if he wanted to continue his acting career? Do we expect him to give up acting?

Acting** can be pretty time consuming, so I would say it would be very much on the back burner if he wishes to reach and stay at top level AFL, which he appears to do.

**(unless you are referring to a certain #18 ex Essendon full forward of course, who combined footy and acting extremely well)

Yeah, Paul Van der Haar was great in Titanic. Not so keen on him in Indepenence Day. ;)

For those who can remember big Bob Johnson. He was the king of the actors and could play footy pretty well as well.

Congrats JKH on his first goal in AFL footy, in only his second game (and his second time as the sub)! Even had another shot or two but couldn't get it through the big sticks.

Would've been great if his teammates moved their ass and came over to congratulate the kid, given how special a moment that would've been for him. Must be asking too much!

Was definitely the spark missing in the first quarter. I'd be disappointed if he still hasn't earned a starting position for next week in Roosy's eyes. Really need to use that sub jacket as a rocket up the ass for players who aren't delivering (Trengove??)

Completely agree - so it's worth adding that Frawley came all the way from the backline to congratulate him along with two others who happened to be nearby (and whose identities I've now forgotten). So well done JKH and Frawley.

JKH showed some of the older players what was required. Gave a real spark to the team and I would love to see him start.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
