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

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
