What type of swimwear is Jack wearing??

Maybe they are too tight!

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
