Will kick 3 goals in the first quarter and then for the rest of the game play a bit up the ground.

 
i don't think i've been as excited for a game since the 2000 GF!

It's a bit like that isn't it. I'm not too far behind you, Doggo. Monday can't come quick enough!

I'd be happy if he got between 10 and 15 touches. Any more and we're probably expecting too much of him.

Totally agree 'AdamFarr', We must not have high expectations in this, his first game of AFL. 10 would be fine with one of them producing a classy goal or goal assist.

 

Let's look at the debuts of all no. 1's since 2000:

2000 Nick Riewoldt - rnd 15 3 disposals no goals

2001 Luke Hodge - rnd 5 13 disposals no goals

2002 Brendan Goddard rnd 4 11 disposals 1 goal

2003 Adam Cooney rnd 1 8 disposals 1 goal

2004 Brett Deledio rnd 1 9 disposals no goals

2005 Marc Murphy rnd 1 17 disposals 1 goal

2006 Bryce Gibbs rnd 1 11 disposals 1 goal

2007 Matthew Kreuzer rnd 3 16 disposals 2 goals

I'll throw in Justin Koschitzki (pick 2) rnd 3 5 disposals no goals

It's been a pretty modest output from most recent no. 1's, so we should keep our expectations in perspective.

Just for interest I've added a few first round Dees debut games:

Colin Sylvia rnd 5 1 disposal no goals

Matthew Bate 11 disposals 1 goal (debuted 18 months after being drafted)

Nathan Jones rnd 17 17 disposals no goals

James Frawley rnd 9 7 disposals no goals

Cale Morton rnd 1 13 disposals no goals

Jack Grimes rnd 22 8 disposals no goals

Addam Maric (not first round draft pick) rnd 17 9 disposals no goals

I'll be very happy if Jackie boy has 10+ disposals and kicks 1 goal. But in reality whatever he does won't faze me.

Prediction: Jack Watts rnd 11 15 disposals 3 goals

Game time? 74%

Kicks? 10

Handballs? 4

Goals? 3

Points? 1

Efficiency? 79%

Where will he play? Close to goal or up half forward? Bit of both :)

Goal with his first kick? Yes!! :D


20 disposals 90% eff

15 kicks

5 handballs

2 tackles

1 goal

80% game time

  • 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.
