Hope we can see Watts on Queens Birthday would attract a BIG crowd

As i was discussing with a person in the herald-sun feedback a couple months ago, i think that the Messiahs exams start the very next day after the match.. so if thats the case, id say Dees v west coast at the 'g'

hopefully bump up our crappy crowd numbers against interstate teams too.. at least for that one match..

mabbe the friday nite dees v Bombers clash?

all a bit irrelevant until he starts looking like he'll earn a spot tho! which he sounds like he is just winding up to do as we speak.;.

IMO- dees v West Coast - if its warranted..

    There's an article on the AFL website where Dean Bailey's saying that Jack could be up for selection if he plays a great game in the VFL this week.

    I'd be disappointed to see Watts selected for a 'blockbuster' game simply on name and promise. He's not ready by any stretch.

    He's on a big learning curve and has shown tantalising glimpses of his talent at the Scorps but has a fair way to go regardless of innate talent. Not to mention that he's doing his final year at school and this has always been the priority.

    Like it or not, this year is about balancing study and footy. Hang on for 2010 though.

    Agree. He should only be picked if he's ready, and he's not doing enough at Casey to suggest he's ready for AFL football. So if we have to wait until later in the year, then so be it.

    Yeah thats true mate. Exams start that weekend for all school goers I believe. I would assume a debut here would be out of the question.

    Its funny how different people read things to mean the complete opposite.

    From what Bailey has said, I get the impression Watts will be held back until he consistently shows good form in the VFL over a period of weeks.

    One game do not maketh the player. Watts will made to really earn his spot, maybe even moreso than another player and I fully support this stance.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
