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

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

    Reckon Viney has been in plenty of scraps with team mates

    • Demonland changed the title to Jones vs Howe

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

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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
