I'm being facetious, as I'm trying to cling to any positives I can find.

2014 is the Year of the Horse....Longmire (Horse) coaches Swans....Roos coached Swans = premiership....Roos coaches Dees = premiership? *Sigh* Mebbe for Longmire.

increase medication now

MAN, we have all been analysing, critiquing, discussing, booing, cheering, applauding, hypothesising, supporting and disregarding this kid since the day his name was read out by the club as the number 1 draft pick. I think it's time we just let the kid play and move on.

I have!

He does after all getto bag a healthy swag for all that he does .

He's not new to this and he has the ingredients of a very good player.. The Soufle has yet to rise....sts.

I'm sure he'd like to do that, I don't think he requested he be under the media spotlight....

Then again, maybe the media spotlight might help him find a bit of mongrel somewhere....

Happy to contribute to the debate:

I reckon Jack Watts could surprise or disappoint.

Profound observational and interpretative skills, Roger. And I totally agree.

The Royal Mail at Dunfeld? Or somewhere closer to Melbourne?

Machsy, if we get rid of those who go off topic who are the overly smug going to complain about? A case in point: I thought Watts and Pendlebury played different positions in basketball. I was wrong but, as quick as you like, you were there to label me a twit. I have no problem with that but If we follow the letter of the law re abusing others, I'd have to think you'd have a spell on the sidelines. To tell you the truth, relentlese teeth grinders such as yourself shite me to tears. It's a footy forum.

Have a great day.

There's plenty to complain about.

You weren't even aiming to be funny when you said Pendlebury & Watts played different positions in basketball.

But the point is, you were slating a player, and the opinions of others, based on something you clearly knew nothing about.

I'd expect to be labelled a twit under the same circumstances.

If we followed the letter of the law, half the posters on this forum would be banned daily.

Including both of us.

I don't grind my teeth, but I find your attempts at humour along with your mates on this forum to be utterly pathetic.

I like humour, but FCS, put some intellect into it.

Light as a feather.

*Apologies for any perceived attempts at light humour.

Apology accepted

Now can we get back to flogging the dead horse that is Jack Watts likely position/potential/physical assets and perceived lack of toughness.

I could train a robot to write various cliches about him to keep on topic and within the rigid structures people have come to expect from this neatly arranged site.

But then Machsy and Co would be redundant.

Long live any "utterly pathetic attempts at humour" in the middle of January when the latest real news we have had from the club is "the boys went training in 42 degree heat and used a fridge on a truck to cool down between drills."

Life as we know it does not depend on the verity and sincerity of every posters intimate thoughts on Jack Watts progress as a player, or lack thereof.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
