I'm surprised he's got time to go over to G B and run an auction on Bargain Hunt every week....

It must be the long preseason - looks like there are a few with cabin fever.

As an aside came across Ross Funcke last night. Remember him? He's a farmer in Donald and looks as fit as when he played.

my excellent one liner reply got scrubbed but it was funny .

I reckon Jack's breakout year was due in no small part to the arrival and mentoring by Brendon McCartney. He seemed to spend a great deal of time with Jack last year and it wouldn't surprise me if he was told to treat Watts as a special case/project when he arrived at the club.

To be honest, I think Watts should have arrived well before now, but I'm happy he is at last getting there.

I've tidied up the grammar and filled in the gaps:  (Jack is a) player who is 6.5m tall, runs like a deer and kicks like a dream.

He gets my vote on all counts!

That is rather tall over 21 feet I believe, could be a handy basketballer.

Jack got real good when he was used as ruck relief.

Line in the sand at the beach party moment.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
