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?

2 hours ago, don't make me angry said:

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

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
