Jack Watts - Confirmed #1 Pick in 2008 Draft - Booyah!!!

[dee-luded 2,959]

They should retire number nine for a season or 2 give watts number 4

Retire No9 for a while until someone earns it.

Retire No9 for a while until someone earns it.

The retirement of jumpers is a load of ceremonial crap.

Collingwood transferred Buckley's No 5 guernsey to Maxwell as soon as he retired.

I think Essendon did the same with Hird's jumper.

Just get Neitz to present to a young player deemed worthy of it.

I agree, however, I didn't mind when we retired number 20 for the 2005 season, following the incidents of Boxing Day 2004.

But, in terms of a retiring player, of course there's no reason to retire the number. Just give it to a new player and move on.

I'll almost bet my left [censored] that Watts gets number 9 if we pick him up at number one.

You really think the club would let him be put under that much pressure from the get-go?

Number 4 - filling Craig Ellis' shoes is not quite so hard

ouch.

Must be confident in your right one.

[45HG 1,539]

Maybe he lost his left one on a trip to Somalia?

For those who may have missed it, on SEN's lunchtime program they had one of the testers from the draft camp who does all the pysch testing in terms of decision making (quickness of mind, correct decisions and competetive decision making), and when asked who was the standout of the camp, guess which name he mentioned? Our boy Jack Watts of course.

Not only a gun athlete, but seems to also have all the boxes ticked mentally as well.

Was there ever a surer bet than the Demons picking up Watts at No.1?

i heard it as well... it is very clear to me now that we MUST pick up Watts.

At draft camp he was an absolute superstar. The quickest KPP in the history of draft camp and the 3rd quickest out of 1500 kidz tested in 15 years. He is agile, tall and fast.

In the reaction time exersizes and the tests on peripheral vision, decision making he was the best at the camp. In terms of finding targets inside 50, making clever decisions with the football and general skills he was also a huge standout.

All this and he is the Larke Medalist for best playing of the National Championships (playing on the best yougnsters in the country) and he is only 17 and in year 11... do people realize how young that it?!?!?!

Get him now---

Add Butcher to CHF next year and we'll have the forward line to go with the back line. Geez, things aren't so bad down the bottom!

Watts pulled up before the 20 metre line in his sprint...still an impressive time. He was cruising...

What a prospect is Jack! High marking ,pace, agility, nouse. Leaves Naita for dead! Loved his left foot goals and his ability to break away from the opposition. We would be MAD if we didn't pick him at # 1. Can't wait to see him in a Melbourne jumper. Thanks for the great video Morts.

A new thing we see in that video is ferocity at the ball, which alot of people doubted him on. Laid a few ripper tackles in the middle of that vid.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

The 2:25 mark of that vid... Shows how he seems to take marks even when the defender does everything right, including getting a fist to the ball. Somehow he swallows them still... A bit of spiderman going on there,
