Hallelujah! Jack Watts did something. And where did he do it? In the goddamn forward line! Why? Because he's a goddamn forward!

The problem is that people talk him up, and then his contribution is well below the value dictated by the passion of those that approve of him. He is awful. He is to Melbourne what Ottens was to Richmond. We have this discussion every year. He is very average.

Who is talking him up? He is the most hated footballer at our club going by this board.

Watts forward? KEEP HIM THERE! He's less of a liability.

Can we find somewhere on the ground that Watts can go where he is the least detrimental to us? Put him in the forward line. At least the ball isn't going to go there very often.

Thank you!

I just love Jetta because he competes. That's all I want. Compete for 4 quarters and go hard every contest.

Dawes missing the target is inexcusable.

Dawes leads up at the ball once and gets the ball on his chest. Chris for f..sake lead up to your teammates and stop wasting time and energy running around in circles on the forward line. You are giving us nothing, zero...

More wasted opportunities.

Gawn and Vince have kicked 4 points combined. Frustrasting.

But good to see Gawny has had 3 scoring shots up until half time

I thought the same thing. I thought, "Surely he's sticking up for him as a Pies premiership player?" It was a dead awful kick.

For gods sake give the Jack Watts crap a rest. It's utter dribble. Who gives a sh!t if he's not elite, he's just a player plugging away. Do we see the same vitriol directed at Matt Jones who has contributed far less than Watts.

Bunch of one eyed haters.

No, Watts has no intensity. That's the problem. He's plugging away but it's just not in him...

Unfortunately we're still making abysmal mistakes.

JKH at one point literally stood still and watched his man run past him for the handball receive. Very lazy.

Before the game Roos took Howe and Watts aside and said something to them. Whatever it was, ome has responded nicely and one is turning in an all-too-familiar regressive performance.

Hill toyed with Barry that quarter but Barry's shown a lot so far. Another pre-season will do him wonders.

Jamar's been immense, Gawn great as a forward. When Gawn rucks though we get beaten up.

Yep every thread has the same c r a p directed at Matt Jones. Difference is Matt Jones tries his heart out every game. Can't say the sane for Watts. He's a list clogging pick 1. Sad really.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
