Watts in contention for recall

JACK Watts missed out on a game of footy last weekend, but the much maligned Demon is in contention to play against Greater Western Sydney on Sunday at the MCG.

Along with David Rodan and Jake Spencer, Watts was an emergency for the game against West Coast.
The trio was named in the Casey Scorpions VFL side that played in Ballarat at the same time as the Demons.

Melbourne coach Mark Neeld decided they should be at the MCG as cover for any late withdrawals.

Watts would have been the logical replacement for Mitch Clarke, who was understood to have been in doubt before the game.

Demons football manager Josh Mahoney said the club considered it was important to cover itself in case any player in the selected 22 was forced to withdraw because of injury or illness.

"All of our three emergencies didn't play for Casey and that won't affect their ability to be selected this week," Mahoney said yesterday.

A weekend free of football may have freshened up Watts, who has been under enormous mental pressure.

He and Rodan were dropped after the Round 2 mauling by Essendon at the MCG.

Mahoney said Jordie McKenzie, who has been out with a calf injury, could return this week, along with Tom Gillies (groin).
