I know, you're sick of talking about Jack Watts but I am genuinely curious to know why or how his career has stalled at Port.

No games this year, not listed as injured and identified on their website as a key defender.

Anyone know what's going on there?

(It would be truly weird if he managed to be selected late in the year and won a premiership medal. Not sure how I'd feel about that.)

Rubbish. A "bad player" doesn't play nearly 200 games. He's just an ok player. Very skilled, has obvious deficiencies. This mentality from so many footy fans that someone is either a complete dud

Indeed. How many premierships are won with 22 star players,   absolutely none. Always will like Jack   if only for the goal that killed Collingwood...

We kick the ball so poorly going inside 50. Jack Watts is a very good kick of the footy. Do you see where I’m going with this?

I was wondering the same thing.  Couldn't even find any mention of him over on Port's website.  Like he's just fallen off the planet.  Really hope he can make it back.  Always had a soft spot for the lad...

Yeah he is a bad player.  No idea how hes lasted 11 seasons in the AFL.

Pick 1 has some weird mystique about it, no matter how much you suck clubs will keep giving you chances.

He's just an ok player. Very skilled, has obvious deficiencies. This mentality from so many footy fans that someone is either a complete dud or an absolute star is just incredibly shallow.

The fairy tale goes like this;  Jack gets recalled to the seniors during Ports finals campaign because of injuries to key forwards. Jack plays in GF and kicks 5 goals including the winning goal after the final siren 55 metres out on the boundary line............against us!

Thanks for the updates y'all. I'd forgotten the leg break. Can be a long way back and as some said, Port's a hard side to break into atm.

I take your point BBP.

It was a very bad break...

That is utterly depressing.

Yep he was quite serviceable and won a couple of games for us including that ripper against the pies.

Was shocked when we traded him but in the final analysis, I'm pretty sure the club did the right thing.

Do you see where I’m going with this?

We keep teams scoring down using team defence with no passengers. 

See where l am going with this ?

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
