Anyone head down today, Ben Guthrie on afl.com.au said we trained for about 3 hours

"Melbourne was out on the track for almost three hours on Tuesday as they get set for their next pre-season clash against Carlton at Casey Fields this Saturday.

Watts trained strongly with the forward group and spent time after training working on his goalkicking. 

Dean Kent and Jack Viney received some treatment for finger issues, while Jeff Garlett and Sam Frost completed a boxing session on the sidelines and did not join teammates out on the track."

Anyone doubt that Jack Watts will be playing against Carlton at the weekend?

Went down just to watch watts,  jack trained like never before he was angry,  at one point he and Goodwin had words,  jack had a surprise look on his face,  had a word to him asked how he was,  said he would show Lyon up.

Don't know if I've ever seen Jack play angry. Could be a revelation.

Seems to be the desired outcome.

Would love to see Jack Watts play with a chip on his shoulder.
I think he will have a really good year.

This is just like the Demonland of old where every thread on the board invariably ends up in Jack Watts discussion.

Incredible.

Unfortunately we have seen it in 2012-2013... didn't go great.

I'm grateful for the report, but "he and Goodwin had words" can mean an angry heated exchange, or a friendly conversation, or just about anything in between. Can you make it clearer how they were getting along?


Just a couple of snippets from someone who was there for 30 minutes.

He didn't see Frost train.

Garlett just walked laps, so one would think there's perhaps a slight query.  Could that rumoured hamstring be a minor niggle ?

And in better news, Tyson and Kent trained fully with the main group.

U see this is how rumors start a person says they seen this,  u could get anything from a post that can become fact whether it true or not!  Jack just never gets angry,  I wish he would, just imagine Hogan's aggression with watts skill and talent, watts will be watts, aggression is not part of his makeup.

Hogans skills aren't too shabby

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
