Dammit, we've been dreaming of this for years. Finally, a list where every player has to battle to get a game. A footy department that won't pick favourites "just because".

And people are griping about it?

This is depth

Go back to when we debuted - desperate to play him

Now we can demand and get more

Surely you back the coach to know what he's doing, until he proves otherwise ?

Rumurs of what exactly?

JW has obviously been asked to be at a certain level of fitness by the coach and as of February 21 he hasn't reached it

I have read that in about 5 articles

But hardly the crossroads of his career which the journalists are hoping for

The season hasn't begun yet

Not football related.

Nah, he's just pointing out the walking contradiction that you are.

Gee your bromance with Wiseblood just had another tremor   like to think an enigma wrapped up in a paradox myself, have my own thoughts and opinions, I know it's a hard concept for some to grasp

As for Jack Watts returning to the more important subject than me or you,  he is one of 12 or 13 who won't play this weekend, doesn't necessarily equate to him not being there Rd 1

Watts watts watts watts watts going on on don't know what to make of that,  normally teams don't play their best team until 3nd pre season game, until then everyone should wait until then,  then if does not play 3nd then he won't play round 1, if that happens then the club has to explain why his not playing, I don't see that happening.

What can I say?  We bonded over a mutual love for Colin Garland and it prospered from there.

This is a joke, firstly a player of Jack's experience not doing what is required and secondly the club on the way we have played this out through the media.  Had hopes for the season but the last 3 days has shown we are still that unprofessional club that we have been for the last 10 years.  We will finish bottom 6 in 2017, jack Watts will be traded at years end with Jesse Hogan gone end of 2018 season.

Over it, don't really care Jack isn't playing, the fact it has got to this is an absolute let down.

Great to see that we have almost all now moved on from bagging the media for a beat-up.

Most of us are now siding with the club and Goody - "good pre-season tactic to get him to work harder, lazy trainer, since when do we pick best 22 pre-season (that person seems to have forgotten last year) etc".

A few of us are siding with Wattsy and the club stupidity - as evidenced by ridiculous justification comment from Josh Mahoney or the fact he was top five B&F last year or that his replacements lack his vision and in a side hellbent on attacking, Jack fits in now more than ever.

And now we have Saty saying effectively that Jack understands it - which is either complete nonsense (if you believe the club's poor trainer logic, because anyone who has been to training as regularly as Saty has been, knows that the cleanest worker on the track along with Nat Jones is Jack Watts), or completely likely (if you subscribe to the view that he is under a club-imposed ban that nether he, nor the club, wants to declare) .

Think laterally gents. Is he a tad slow like Lynden Dunn (and therefore needing pushing gently aside like last year)? Does he not quite fit in with the group (like Mark Jackson)? Is he a poor trainer (only a dill would even suggest that, but some of you are falling for it)? No, he is Mr Marketable and the life of the club.

So why would Goody and the club be making a statement to him and then be unable to explain it via the club website? Think legal. 

 

 

I get what you are implying but im not convinced of the logic. If there was a 'legal' issue the club is not informed

The MFC should have dealt with this and not put Max or Tom in the position of explaining selection.  That's not their job.

 

But apparently media performance of team leaders is unimportant according to some :)

MFC lacking a back-of-jumper sponsor.

The sudden scrapping of our clash strip.

The club's vagueness re. Watts heightening the attention on Jack and the MFC.

Join the dots.

'Thank you everyone for attending this press conference. We have some very exciting news, but first of all, we'd like to Skwosh the rumours once and for all . . .'

I love it when something goes wrong for a player and supporters almost want to gloat about it because they're right.  Why anyone would want to gloat in this regard is beyond me.

Hopefully Jack can continue to work hard and get himself in the side for Round 1, as he is clearly best 22.

Wishing a star player to fail and gloating over a preseason storm in a teacup are uniquely Demonland experiences Wise.

Traits of MFCSS.

Binman questions Saty's conversation with Jack.Does Binman go to training as often as Saty does - if at all?I met Saty at training a month ago and he does talk to the players.If Jack was lying surely Saty would be able to tell by his tone of voice and body language?

Goody wanted some board shorts at a discount and Watts said you have to pay full retail like everyone else.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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
