And even if Watts was in trouble, would the coaching staff necessarily tell any player other than Watts. 

1) probably, they'd be wanting to set an example of the required standard and bs isn't tolerated

2) even if they didn't you think you could keep something like that under wraps amongst a footy team?

Under the Leading Teams model players are very accountable with each other and of course the leadership group knows what's going on with individual players and has meetings with the coaching group.

Maxy didn't talk enough about Jack Viney being promoted to the role of co-captain during this interview, and I read between the lines that Nathan Jones isn't happy and it's causing lots of friction off the field to the point where they won't even go into the showers at the same time.

Just my take.

I wouldn't get into a shower with either of them at the same time and why should they? There is no water shortage. Also, I believe that this kind of all-in-shower camaraderie can lead to bad outcomes. I know of an ex AFL legend who went to a club in SA and got the sack because he believed there was a water shortage, shall we say. As though any self respecting Victorian would consider even showering with SA water, if you get my drift.

Anyway, that's my take on the shower camaraderie scenario. In my time it was a case of blokes pointing the finger at those of us who had maintained their foreskins.

I showered at home from then on. Still do. Lucky my parent's house was opposite Selwyn park.

That's a big statement.

Yep, and Jetta refused to play in a show of solidarity with his one true captain.

Massive if true.

And another reason why so many of us dont like the idea of chunk sharing the captaincy. 

Viney could have waited another year or two.

Because people might start making posts clearly intended as a joke, that others will still believe?

You should've just said you were in on the joke.  My ability to judge these things in text is poor enough that I wouldn't know any better :D

nope.

 

Was simply bored out of my brain, and thought, oh boy, there's something I can post about!

I read it again and thought to myself, you stupid [censored], how did you miss that.

Fake News!  

Jack Watts is Donald Trump, that's why he didn't play against the dogs. 

Proof - look at the hair.

The H-S have a sophisticated computer system to generate the next day's back page, called "coin toss".

"Heads" = scandal* at Collingwood

"Tails" = those brave Essendon boys

i was told today that goody wants jack to know that one good year isn't enough, it's not enough to have a good year and get his contract renewed and then go onto autopilot, we need jack to be a match winner and this is a rocket up his bum from goody

from all reports as well his training standards and attitudes have lifted quite a lot in the past month but it seems like a really clever preemptive move by the coaches to make sure jack is breathing fire for round 1

I don't know about coins, I know there is a lot of tossing and a lot of tossers at Planet Murdoch. Onanism reigns.

That explains the blonde hair. Watts is a Russian. Wattsanov is his real name.

Is Jack even capable of breathing fire? (Please read  partially as tounge in cheek).

If Jack Watts breaths fire, then watch out opposition - that would be some weapon.

 

... Seriously though what did Max say though? (asides from the Watts thing), I want to be amused by the master's musings.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
