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.

    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

    haha

     

    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

    (* = otherwise known as "storm in teacup" or "outright invention")

    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.

    • 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.
