Paywall!  Any details?

Great story.  Jack is back enjoying his footy with some mates.  Jack has always been a lad, and loves the social side of life and footy. It was the intensity of the AFL and the restrictions on social life.  He’s a great young man, intelligent, fun loving and a talented sportsman.  Hope he enjoys his footy life and showing his footy talent.  

 

I will always have a soft foot for Jack as he was so wonderful with kids, I often took my daughter to training 7 years ago and he was just brilliant in his interaction with her and a few years later when we had moved to Alice Springs he was also fantastic with my son, the kids loved him.

Brighton Grammar has produced not only Jack but current players Jayden Hunt and Christian Salim. Are there others I have missed?

Chris Dawes and Matthew Warnock were both BGS students.

Wonder if he still likes swimming ... and there was something else (hmm, what was it?).

Sex, drugs and rock n roll apparently. I wonder what the outcome was with that hit and run charge from last year?

Great vision here: 

 

Surprised he knew the words though... Would not have sung them too often.

In the bests, is that the Filipovic we had as a ruck rookie?


Jack Watts. The Peter Pan of football. Coodabeen.

Or Jack Watts has the “Peter Pan Syndrome”; that’s quite possible!

Eddie will be implacable. Yet again, a Port player will be wearing the prison bar jumper without recompense to Collingwood.

Saw him pretty often at the Half Moon hotel in Brighton so not surprised he ended up at Old Brightonians.

I wish him well.

They are so well mannered they only give half moons? Such good breeding!

 I would have thought they'd be raised to turn the other cheek.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
