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.

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.

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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
