Jack Watts could have totally cleaned up Robbie Gray there. Instead he's the one who comes out hurt.

Have a listen to you blokes. Watts can't win. Puts his head over the ball, rather than squibbing the contest, and he still cops crap. Stay classy guys.

He is playing as a loose across back.

Blind freddy would pick up a possies playing that role.

Dont put him on a pedestal for that,wait until he wins a few hard ones.

Loose across half back or not he was a lot better in the 3rd and I am no Watts supporter

As much as I hate it, Jack did give away the free there. Nothing he could have done, but the free was definitely there.

Explain how? The umpire paid a free for high contact. High contact which came after spoiling the ball. It was incidental contact, never a free.

He'll never win hard ones. He did his best Nick Maxwell impersonation that quarter and it paid off

You know who invented the Jack Watts as creative defender role? Mark Neeld. It's Jack's best position because he's not particularly good at winning his own ball, and in the backline he has the space to get the ball from his teammates.

AKA he is doing better than I said so I will attempt to lessen what he is doing.

Auugghhh

I reckon that if this is close, the crowd will get them over the line - probably via the umpires

If we get a good start, we'll win.

Watts has played all his good games as a sweeper off half back - less pressure and more time. If Port stick with an extra back, or man Watts up?

I just did. You haven't been allowed to spoil the ball while making contact with the head since the 80s or 90s.

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res
