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.

Ironically it's the other way around nowadays. :ph34r:

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    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. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
