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.

for sure mccartney has made a hugh difference,dont forget who he had to play under and with in his first few years.the club was a joke so hard for a kid starting out.Then he copped neeld,good grief, he is lucky to have lasted till now.I remember posting on here a few years ago about jack,who wouldnt want a player 6.5 runs like deer kicks like dream

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.

Or displace Gawn in the ruck!

Or be the designated man on the mark for kicks after the siren.

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

Line in the sand at the beach party moment.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
