    Plumbing the depths of journalism

    It has become increasingly obvious throughout the day that the story is nothing more than a beat up. I'm wondering whether tomorrow will see a retraction or apology in the Australian for this ridiculous piece of writing?

    Nothing in the the Oz on line edition WJ but I suppose your question was rhetorical.

    Meanwhile, this story in the Age sets the record straight - Watts rumours untrue, says Carlton CEO

    In the words of Carlton's chief executive Greg Swann the suggestion that the Blues are after Demon Jack Watts is "absolute crap".

    Make of it what you will but in view of the mendacity and spite shown by Denham against the Melbourne Football Club over a long time and the mischievous nature of this story, the words used by Swann are probably an entirely appropriate of his journalism as well.

    Denham and a buddy from the Murdoch Oz suggests Malthouse is after Jack Watts in this piece - Magpie Sharrod Wellingham heads home to West Coast Eagles.

    Meanwhile, three days before the official player exchange period starts, Carlton is showing surprising interest in Melbourne's 2008 No 1 national draft selection Jack Watts.

    The Blues' curiosity is understood to have come from new coach Mick Malthouse and could turn into a pursuit should either Watts or the Demons wish to mutually part company.

    A number of senior Melbourne players have explored interest from rival clubs over the past month and the Blues are understood to be set to test Watts's relationship with the lowly club and its first-year coach, Mark Neeld.

    Malthouse and Watts have had a bittersweet relationship, which started during the pre-season competition when the multiple-premiership coach questioned the 22-year-old's workrate. Several months later he became a sounding board for Watts when he took on an informal mentoring role with the player, who was struggling with form.

    In a surprising twist, Watts sought Malthouse's counsel after being the subject, yet again, of intense scrutiny because of his inability to live up to the hype associated with a No 1 pick.

    The teenager was taken in the draft one place over West Coast ruck sensation Nic Naitanui who, in his fourth season, won All-Australian selection.

    Malthouse admitted the pair held regular football conversations that began at Watts's insistence.

    "Jack is a ripping young lad," Malthouse said earlier in the season. "I think the kid just needs a bit of reassurance but he has not had it from the media because they still think he is the No 1 draft pick, which is not fair. I can, I suppose, give him another perspective."

    During the pre-season, Malthouse said on radio that Watts lacked ambition and questioned his desire to be a "top-ranked" player.

    Malthouse suggested Watts, originally drafted as a forward, play more in defence.

    "If I can recommend to Neeldy ... get him on the backline and just see what he is like down there, because clearly in the forward line he wants to take the easy option, he wants to get in behind people, he wants the ball given to him all the time," Malthouse said.

    Watts was given a rev-up by his coach late last year when Neeld challenged him by demanding he "develop a massive work ethic and appetite to play footy".

    Watts has played 55 games, including 15 this season, after spending some time in the VFL.

    This has as much credibility about it as when Malthouse was supposed to be after Cloke.

    Joke!

    The red and the blue will be worn in the SANFL Grand Final in a fortnight's time after the Norwood Redlegs comprehensively beat West Adelaide in today's semi final:

    Norwood 8.13.61 West Adelaide 2.5.17

    Ha!

    Captain of West Adelaide is former Dee Ryan Ferguson and they wear the Essendon colours.

    Sad but I think he's gone past the point of no return at the club. It probably began at some time in the latter part of 2011 when the club was in turmoil and he is said to have been close to crossing to the Bombers at the end of last season. It didn't help when his manager came out and said he was going to test the free agency waters and it helped less when his form dropped off and he stopped showing the emotion and the passion he previously had for the club.

    Ironically, if he went to the Bombers he would probably be nursing a soft tissue injury ATM.

    IT WAS ONLY ... 1919

    Surely the time has arrived for the Melbourne Football Club to come right out and admit that, during some games in the 1919 season, it was tanking?

    I mean what were they thinking when they allowed players to take part in that round 18 game in an inebriated state?

    Where did Eric Tonkin's game go after he came in on the overnight rail from Sydney?

    Where were they hiding a champion like Ivor Warne Smith in the first half of the season?

    And the whole idea of having an enemy alien whose name was really Heinz coaching the team so soon after the Huns and the Turks were massacring our boys is the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard!

    There's little wonder that this side didn't win a game.

    They were obviously tanking.

    I demand that this matter is fully investigated by the AFL or, if not by them, then the VFL and that Mike Sheahan and the On the Couch panel finds someone who attended one of the games during that season (old Clyde the Cabbie was there as a kid) to take us through all of the experimentation that was tried that year.
