and is a pretty good mark when his on song.

He can mark.

When he's 5meters in the clear.

Prefers to avoid contested situations altogether.

Never seen him on song though.

I just dont get why anyone wouldn't want to keep him

Simply because he is one of a handful of players with skills on our list. Not every team member has to an aggressive bull with very poor disposal. Every team needs outside as well as inside players. I think Jack's defensive game is on the improve. A lot more tackles starting to happen.

No, that's not a prediction BB, just a personal hope.

not entirely.. Mouse still favours him I think , and his ego is such that Im sure he thinks he can extract the gold no one else has to yet.

He probably should have been dropped a couple of times this seaosn

I think Roos has kept him in the team to keep his value as high as it can be, knowing full well he will trade him

We all say JW should have been dropped at times this year but if we are honest who would we replace him with who do any better?

The cardboard is bare .

We might as well keep playing him

when making a principled stand you would play a one legged player first if the principle demanded it to introduce the value system. the tail has to stop rocking the dog, the tail has to learn that wagging isn't fun without the big platform from which to wag.

no, not really, but I wouldn't mind being taught comedy. is that what I right analogies. I find it easier to get a concept across that way.

LOL, but i think george pell just scored that job

I think george la pell just earnt himself a job anywhere anytime, as a freight consultant with integrity ? or a truck driver. Older women will be safer having him about, that is for sure.

It's all about trust. When you're on the footy field, or any other sporting field, you need to be able to look at the guy next to you and see he is giving his all. When it's your time to go, you go hard. That creates a special bond between players. Jack Watts is not an AFL footballer. He's a touch footballer where tackling and physicality are not necessary.

In a team that wins more than it loses his touch could be the bond.

I drift from one side to the other with Jack, but as of this second, I think our current lack of team affords some time, the idea being, that as we get really good, the ducks will line up.

If he hasn't learned by now that body contact won't kill him and he has to keep his feet I don't think he will. Would make a standout state league/ammo player but you need more than talent to make it in the pros - you need the mentality and he does not have it.

What good are his elite foot skills when he's always looking to offload the ball with dinky handballs? You need more than one string to your bow and most players with elite foot skills also need to take the game on and break the lines with their attack. He doesn't do that at all and always runs to the contest/ball instead of running through it.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
