The thing I find most distressing is that every article that I have read states how many games he has played in his career.  172?  It's criminal to think that he's played that many.

And we turned him into Bayley Fritsch.   Good times.

Many here are missing the point!  Idiots who let themselves get filmed doing this stuff deserve what gets thrown at them.  Personally Ido not give a rats what he does in his private time, however, there is an issue here about behaviour towards women.  It’s a bad look and society is trying to change attitudes like this.  Lesson 101 do not get filmed!!!!

how is this an attitude towards women issue? she was consenting to it all. so its just 2 people having a bit of fun on the Oktoberfest. Its people like you that make this PC ridiculous culture we're in.

So true. He is on holidays 

that is a nice way to spend it

people are laughing and having fun

CHILL THE F$&@ OUT PEOPLE....

The Port forums are a thing of beauty. They are finding it really difficult to determine which year ‘last October’ falls under, October 2017 or October 2018.

The conversation is really engrossing, but I still walk away confused by them.

Ive had my fair share of fun in my 60 years pal!  I bet if you ask that girl whether she was having fun, the answer might surprise you.  People like me pal may just have seen more of life than you.  The difference was, I was never stupid enough to be filmed.  If you don’t get the bad look issue, you never will.

Yes for Jack to allow this to be filmed on a smartphone is just beyond stupid, and he will cop whatever he gets. 

As i said earlier, i was blessed to be young before the technology was available. 

You can’t do anything now with any privacy. 

How much further will it go??

How could she be having fun, only men like sex, poor women they are forced by men to doing anything that involves anything sexualized, yes us men force them to do these things, no way no women would ever what a man to touch them, he must of forced her. The job of these women is to encourage men.

Whatever your value judgement on the incident, the majority of people including AFL footballers would not behave this way. Watts can now say it "looks bad". Yes it does, but he did it.  Whatever the substance, Jack looks the worse for wear.  Was the waitress consenting ? She was not objecting, but do you think she was getting a lot of fun out of it? I suspect not, but a bunch of Aussie lads on holiday (as if that makes any difference) wanted to have a bit of fun at the expense of the waitress. 

Its demeaning and sexist. 

The majority of men including AFL players would not have behaved this way.  Its not Jack Trengove, a team mate and friend of Watts.

Watts is clearly a party boy who likes the social limelight but lacks the commitment and discipline to be a top footballer.

But we are not talking about football, but an attitude and action that is inappropriate and ill disciplined whoever the person be and another case of men behaving badly towards women.   

The fact that Watts says it looks bad, simply means "he looks bad." It's all about him.

What about the young woman? Any reference or apology . No of course not. I forgot, she was obviously having fun.

Absolutely Sir, as are all the "opinion pieces" on this site.

My first line referred to the words value judgement.  Each to their own.

I do object to the excuse that it's all just a bit of fun.  That's opinion as well.

c'mon wyl, you can't have it both ways, you have complained loudly before how bad culture at a football club shouldn't be tolerated and it's not as though jack has a lot of credits in the bank

Your use of the words majority and minority i find interesting. 

I can assure you having been there, albeit a long time ago, the majority of both Males and Females at Oktoberfest were getting right off on having fun. 

Not like what is now allowed in Victoria 

Sad really. Having fun is being outlawed slowly, just like Orwell said it was going to be

He is not doing anything wrong. It’s during the holidays

the AFL should shut up during the off season. There lies the real problem

She looked so bored, It was probably  the 20th time she had done it that day for the annoying tourists.  And I bet she makes a killing from it too.

More power to the lass.

I am obviously a dag, as Oktoberfest and fun are antonyms to me.  My standards are not that high but they would preclude me from going to this drunken swill and putting my nose between a girls breasts!  

If a Male did that to my daughter or wife I would break his nose.

Ahh yes. You see I preferred “Clockwork Orange” whilst you were watching “The Sound of Music”

The Standardised AFL doorstop apology...

”Say this Jack...”

Seen it all before and had to cut videotape stories on the same apologies. 

It shouldn’t have been filmed.

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
