One player who won't be at Casey next Saturday according to this article is Jack Watts.

Jack Watts might need to wait until March 19 to play a VFL practice game

The writer seems to rely on Jones' comments...maybe Jones forgot there is a VFL practice game next week. 

I get what the club is doing with Watts but to give him no match practice, even at VFL practice games, just doesn't make sense as it compromises his readiness to play be it VFL or AFL. 

Goodwin himself said Jack needs to be ready to play when selected so if other players get VFL practice games so should Jack, as by all accounts he has been doing all that is required for the last 2/3 weeks; unless there is something else behind the 'suspensions'.

Getting beyond a joke

Irrespective of form the pressure that this badly handled media fiasco will put on the man is unacceptable.

 

Form was not the issue.  His commitment to training and the standards put in place are what has kept him out of the side.  Nothing at all to do with form.

The article does say he won't be playing next weekend against the Redtails from Central Australia.

He could still go to WA the following week or play for Casey v Williamstown a week before they play Port Melbourne.

What pressure is he under if he knows the coaching dept have his back & are using "training form" as a cloak to hide an injury?

    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.
