Jones vs Howe

[Lord Nev 13,511]

As 'reported' by Jack Watts...

“I think I would have seen this 20 times over my career,” he said on a new episode of KFC SuperFooty TV.

“If you had have asked me (which) two Melbourne players were in a scuffle, I would have probably said these two.

“Clearly they’ve had a bit too much to drink, it gets a bit chirpy and something’s pushed over the line – they’re good mates ... it obviously got to that point where Melky’s had enough.”

Watts revealed former teammates Nathan Jones and Jeremy Howe had been involved in a similar incident during his time at the Dees.

“Jonesy and Howey had a good one one year, just a little fisticuff to the grill.

“It was exactly what would have happened here – Howey gets pretty chirpy on the p---, so does Jonesy, they were both going at each other and one person’s just had enough.”

Just when I thought I couldn't love Jones anymore

Geez I’m glad Howe will never taste premiership success.

Looks like Watts is trying to take the ex-MFC player Luna Park Mouth award off Brock McLean

[BDA 19,978]

My money would be on Chunk. He'd handle Howe easily

Reckon Viney has been in plenty of scraps with team mates

[Supermercado 2,609]

I'd run in with a chair WWE style to help Jones in that bout.

[3183 Dee 2,602]

There would only ever be one winner in that confrontation…

[DemonWA 3,424]

Don't mind Wattsy coming out with this stuff. Just goes to show it's not such a big deal really

[Jaded No More 57,584]

Jack Watts getting more hard ball gets today than in his entire career. 

[layzie 28,473]

Think Jack needs to go back to bed.

In shocking news ultra competitive people are ultra competitive. Watch the Bulls doco series. It’s been 30 years and those guys are still annoyed at each other about who was more important to their success.

It was dumb, but it’s part of the territory.

At my local footy club Tooronga Malvern in the early 2000s, there was a few scraps between players off the field including I remember one full on in an Albury hotel car park. Guess what, blokes don’t always agree on some things and some don’t know when to shut up (or don’t have others willing to tell them to shut up). Unfortunately the amber liquid is always a common accomplice to all such events.

Yep. Big Blokes Punch on. It will always be. I wish S May had played last week, and that he was sanctioned in a different way. 
Neale deserved better than what he got. He is having trouble walking now….

If we're relying on one player to beat Collingwood we're covering cracks with wall paper. Not sure that winning the game for Neale can be used as inspiration as we have lost 6 of 8 big freezes.

Yeah right.
Didn't know that but am not surprised.
 
Annoyed me other day that we just rolled over.
When Collingwood finally got on top they just took over.
On the big stage, 80k there .... We didn't give a yelp.

Bit sad isn’t it.

As Jack Little would say

"All I can say is, Wow, No Comment"

A lot of us loved Jack, great kid who loved the club. He was never a business driven guy, he valued his teammates and his club. There was a lot to like about that as you really don’t see that in society much these days. Even the week he was traded he came out on his own and stated how much he loved the club and didn’t want to leave, his loyalty and happy go lucky attitude may have been to his detriment.

I’ve got no issues at all with him going on shows like this and sharing some good stories, having a good bit of a yarn. The problem for Jack is he is not an insider anymore and if he thinks he can live off this last shred of clout he has as a former AFL footballer then it’s only downhill from here. The only reason a story like this has any relevance is because the two former teammates of his are either still playing with a decent profile or recently retired legends. I’d like to see how many hits a take like this gets in 5 years time, maybe I’m wrong and people will still lap it up but I was hoping to see an encouraging new path for Jack post AFL career than the back page gossip stuff.

Apologies in advance if this strikes a nerve with some, that's just my view.

Must be running out of steam and new information - Jack said this was on Fox early last week after it first happened and its only hit the Hun now... and watching the show it sounded like he was just recounting some locker room stories from over his career, not much more!

I played for them too, and there were plenty of scraps in the club rooms in the early 90s.
