One of Mark Robinson's best articles on Jack Watts. Sums it up perfectly for me!

    Thanks for the link 

    I did just attempt to link it, but it moved to premium features. It was strange as I'd read it perfectly fine.

    A surprisingly decent article from Robbo. I got from start to finish without cringing once.

    I'm not buying this. Yes a few supporters have been scathing of watts over the years but most have been incredibly patient. This is evidenced by the joy everyone has in seeing him finally perform. Most demons fans have had reason to be frustrated with him but at the same time have continued waiting for him to come good. So heres cheers to all of us. To Jack for continually trying against a relentless media. The Mfc who has had faith in him. All the supporters like me who have had faith that one day this guy would play the footy he is today.

    Thnx for the read Stuie & the heads up Picket, some of Slobos best work for sure.

    Tear the tiges up jack, with rance to hoges & astbury to pedo/frost......  Who goes to watts? They'll probably think they can get away with a smaller opponent on him tonight. Could be another big game for killer!!

    Some here have been far more 'patient' with Jack than others.

    I reckon we got the right bloke at pick 1. Always have. Pity many supporters and the media reached their verdict 1/3 the way into his career.

    If, and when, I find the link, I'll read what Slobbo has to say on the subject.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
