For those of you who can handle watching the show itself .... Jack Watts on the Footy Show Panel now!

 

Jack Viney on the Mangarook Footy Show tonight.

Very composed. Captain worthy performance!  He said:

- Hogan loves playing with Dawes

- His pre season scuffle with TMc was because he thought Tommy was being a bit soft...could have been joking

- On the hunt for a puppy...like Bernie's mountain dog----->images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT2SA_ZeRF3L0oK_rE7wFC       Cute, eh? 

- Agreed with the singing of Wagner's praises.

- They accept making a few mistakes while learning and practice of 'our way of playing'.

- Roos pushed defence for 2 years and once we got that sorted we started an attacking game style in this pre-season

That is all I can remember...

A 5 year contract for Dawes is now on the table...

As JV said it, I groaned for that reason. 

I guess if that is what the club thinks is best and it keeps Jesse happy so be it

It would probably be a cheaper option than buying him a gold mansion and filling it with naked ladies who feed him grapes all day

Shhh... don't tell OD :unsure:

Superannuation maybe  to fill in for Hoges and the Weed when needed and mentor future forwards.

I'd give him 3 years and a Zimmer frame

There always seems to be an essendon player on the panel. I will just fast forward Zaka's crap he says. But good to see footy shows take an interest now.

Yeah, but a lot less interesting. 

Know anyone who might apply? :)

I loved when Jack was asked about Prestia coming to the Dees next year, he started his reply with "well, I'm not in charge of list management obviously or I'd have given myself another contract by now"

OD would have a better chance of getting a 5 year contract BZ!

Understood Rusty.  Wanted to mention JV's first class performance somewhere on DL and this thread title looked a good place.

Just remembered, JV also mentioned JKH...said he had a bad run of luck with injuries but when fit would be in best 22.  Good vote of confidence for JKH.

I know.

According to Jack, Bernie Vince has one hence my words like 'Bernie's mountain dog' and they showed a pic of Jack with the dog.  I googled Bernese Mountain Dog to get the pic in my post.  But I can see how my post could be read as you have.:rolleyes:

Bernese were working dogs on Swiss farms. They have no problems in Melbourne, just don't sit them out in the sun in summer. They are very placid and great with kids.

I know Dawes isn't great at clunking marks and doesn't kick a lot of goals, but he has great footy smarts and works insanely hard to create space for his team. 

Jesse would love one v one rather than three v one

You think? No impressed how they have the Bears in a concrete pit, seems out of character with the Swiss in general.

Ever been there in winter, one cold old place.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
