With regards to the radio interview link, my god that Peter Jackson is great with interviews. Do yourself a favour, and listen to the pre-gamer.

Absolutely brilliant, and eye opening in regards to the Adam Goodes situation also.

Please sign this guy for 10 years. Legend.

Him and Jesse, yes.

Great interview, great game, great bloke. Could have easily walked 2 seasons ago, but wanted to stay and repay faith. If only Howe had same integrity.

You know Howe is leaving?

Remember Watts didn't sign up again until the end of the season.

If you don't know for a fact Howe is leaving, then questioning his integrity is just pathetic and shows you have little of it.

 

My pleasure fellas (link providing)...... Trying not to get too carried away (like I said our players did after each win so far this year), but that was the best MFC interview I'd heard for a long time.

If you haven't yet please do listen to it, gives me much more hope than anything Roosy could say (not having a go at Roos, but it's really up to the players now imo given the resources & how this club is being run by PJ).

Interview for the ages

Geez PJ sure knows how to put Caro in her place. Shows the media 'stars' for being story creators rather than story reporters.


I get the impression that he's finally figured out how big and strong he really is. He seems to be looking for contact instead of avoiding it. He's not afraid to get hit any more.

He was laying tackles and played with intent.

Paul Roos on Jack Watts:

"I think today, if it's not his best game he's ever played, certainly the way he played was really important. He set the scene when he started forward, crashed in, got some balls on the lead (and) made things happen, and that continued all day.

"It's good that when we win he gets some reward (because) too often when we've lost he's the one that's been criticised. But over the last eight weeks when we've lost, everyone's left him alone because he's actually been really consistent."

We might just get to see Jack become the best player he can be and I reckon that will be quite awesome!

 

Im so proud of Jack. I have been one of his many critics but his last 2 months he is a completely different player. He is showing hardness and aggression we have been screaming for. If this is the work of Brendan McCartney then kudo to him aswell!

What an absolutely fantastic interview

Without wanting to jinx him, I suspect he has really "turned the corner"

Go Jack

Basic physics:

What was once merely Volts, potential, is now becoming Watts, output!!

Great game from the player I have always had faith in! Now we need to give Toumpas another chance in the ones instead of (say) Mitchie.

Macca has done an amazing job! This is why we hired him! Next project mr toumpas

Gee whiz, McCartney's hiring might just go down as the best recruitment we've made in a decade.

One need only look at the Bulldogs now to see his expertise with development of youth.

Some really strong marks today as well as the usual neat disposal. Love it when he uses his speed, only wish we start to see it more and more. Wattsy has been one of the big ticks this year and I still think he's only just scratching the surface of his talent.

Still got a whole lot of upside to come.

lets all hope, HE AMPS things UP some; from here On Mono ?!!!

because we have all stuck thick, with his heavy carbon years. now, lets see the wind flowing thru his blond locks, as he soars like 'Peter Knights' once did.

I feel like the majority of supporters did not stick thick in the slightest and most had wanted the club to cut all ties.

He has shown over the last 2 months that he has vastly improved his output and I for one am glad we have a player of his potential and calibre in our best 22.

Good on you Jack Watts for the interview :)

He has really developed as a player and he has the skills, but is only now building on his confidence. The weighting of his kicks is very good and he makes good decisions. I really enjoy watching Wattsy play and he is going to be a star in the coming years....GO DEES!!! :)

so It seems that you do not think that the pressure applied to him & made him make a conscious decision, one way or the other, to get tougher on himself or to remain as soft as hew was before..

..... some people like you it seems, think someone can open a magic box of fairy dust in front of the fairy's, & then all will become, well, like magic, & we all travel on merrily.

others prefer to try to push for an outcome, one way, or the other way...... this time, it looks like the best possible outcome, thus far.

.. anyhow, don't let your softness, grieve you when it comes to full contact sport, as I'm sure you don't do?

Roos, McCartney and Goodwin. I would suggest, along with Jack himself, that one or all of these men are responsible for his turn in form and his arrival as a player. I'm inclined to suggest it's Brendan McCartney. We are blessed with our current coaching team.

I think it’s Bernie Vince. I see a lot of Bernie Vince in Jack Watts’ current playing style, and Jack obviously holds Bernie in high esteem (see his recent 3AW interview).

 

Any link to the PJ interview? Or what station it was on?

Scroll down to the bottom of this link.

PJ sounds really strong and determined in defending and building our Club.

Sounds like he does not 'suffer fools gladly',

Especially reporters who ask dumb questions!

Why hasn't it been locked yet?

MFC whipping boy.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #7 Jack Viney

    The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

    “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

    The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

    It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
