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.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
