Jack Viney for me.  We already know how good he can be, but I believe this is the year he makes the rest of the competition stand up and take notice.

Fail.

I thought when you made a crap call on Demonland, you were supposed to go back and edit it as if it never happened? What's this "admitting you got it wrong and having a bit of a laugh about it" business?

I'd have too many things to edit, although I still think Valenti would have been a gun if we gave him a proper chance.

Hate to make this about Jack Watts but...

All the training reports in the second half of last season had him doing boxing, wrestling etc... With specialist coaches, away from the main group. I though it worked and towards the end of the season his 1 on 1 competitive work improved from hopeless to o.k. It will never be his strength.

i have Jack Watts and Kent as the real break outs this year.

Ok. But nothing like the bloke who picked Hunt.

I'm a Watts lover, but bloody hell he is making it hard for me to continually defend him.

If he were to remain in the team this week, which I personnaly don't think he or Howe should, I would have him play 30-40% of the game in the ruck.He's got a leap, he's got height, he's got the smart "touch" where he can put the ball to the advantage of a teammate.

Will it open him up for potential injury? No, I don't believe so, and even if you do, what's the worst that can happen in a ruck contest that couldn't happen in any other contest around a ground?

Playing ruck demands physical contact, there's nowhere to hide, you have to hit bodies and wrestle, and most importantly for Jack, your body will get hit and you will be wrestled against.

If Cam Pederson can prove to be an effective 2nd ruck, then I'm sure Watts can. I know who I rate higher out of those two, although the gap is fast diminishing.

Merriment aside,  he needs to kick 40 goals in 2016.

It's his 8th year and last in contract, it's literally now or never. 

The talent is there, but will the mind deliver ?

It's a shame his year is now classed as a failure with only 38 goals. Guess he'll never make it.

Back on the trading block, IF any club is interested hey ProDee?

I reckon Benny would be on the whole pleased with Jack's year.

How'd your man Chris Dawes go this year Ginger?

I'll be happy when we get a back up ruck so Watts can stay forward and kick 50.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
