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.

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

Didn't realise spoiling the ball was a free kick, but you learn something new every day.

I think that's fair, my issue is that Bail didn't get a free kick for a similar incident.

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.

Unbelievable stuff - holding the ball they don't pay consistently both ways and that final free kick was the icing on the cake of stupidity

Cracking a bloke in the head is not a valid spoiling technique, as much as I wish it were.

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

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.

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?

Still have to have the intent to work hard and his to smother intercepts had nothing to do with been a loose man

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
