What type of swimwear is Jack wearing??

Maybe they are too tight!

Maybe he comes to the Dees?!

 

Although his step-father Fabian played one game for us, I doubt he'll go anywhere but Adelaide (the city).

Would we be as stupid as to offer the Weed plus a third round pick in the 2025 draft?

Interesting that Jack is doing dial-a-quote for the Hun these days. 

Not really. The Herald Sun is the worst paper in Australia.

It's a headline chasing tabloid and a glorified picture book.

 

He’s got a bit to say today does Wattsy, can he come back and do a bit of 2017 style rucking.

North don't look like turning things around.

Insert a couple of paragraphs about the sheer variety of ways they are a mess.

Meanwhile, Horne-Francis is copping grief from all directions while under all kinds of unreasonable expectations at a club where every reputable leader is on the brink of retirement.

He's in serious danger of getting the full Jack Trengove experience.

No point waiting six more years to then limp home to Adelaide.

Trengoves career was tragic in some respects. On the other hand he was a captain and was much loved by fans and team mates alike 

A lot of people digging into Jack. Haven't read the article but I think when Jack was drafted our club was a shambles. He went through multiple years of an unstable administration that lead to changing in coaches and his career only started to turn around when Roos came on board. I don't think he is being harsh on the club for critising how bad we were during his formative afl years. He clearly had the talent, but we didn't have the structure for him to succeed. That is partly on him, but a lot on us. As a club failed him. 

I think if he went to a club that had its [censored] sorted his career would be much different. I don't think Trac would be the same player he is today if he went through the club at the same time Watts did. 

I respect Watts because he truly loved the club. He believed in our goals and bought into the club. He was pushed out because of the bad habits that probably had a lot to do with where we were at the time. You could tell he was hurt by being pushed out and his heart has always lied with the club. 

A bit different to JHF who is talking about leaving already one year in. I really do feel for North and their supporters as it feels like we were probably in a similar situation. 


 Fair call,  Watts would know what the kid's going through more than any-one.
I actually felt pity for kids drafted to us in the dark days.
They we're always gonna be behind the 8ball with our amateur operation.

I can see where Jack is coming from. I don't think we have had so much scrutiny on a number 1 pick since jack. 

You would be shattered if he chose to leave to go back to SA next year , I know he's family and mates are there but I reckon he'd be more scrutinised in a  2 team town. It also doesn't help when you are not winning.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
