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.

    There would only ever be one winner in that confrontation…

    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.

    Bit sad isn’t it.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
