Watts going on?

Featured Replies

Posted

Did they say he is playing for Casey next week?

Absolutely stinging to see this guy in the red and blue now that some other kids are standing up and we are not a complete basket case

How many weeks at Casey are we expecting, given there are still heaps out injured and not a huge amount of competition for him to break into the side

What role are we expecting? I'd like to see him on the HFF

 

I agree, would love to see him in the red & blue this year.

Seeing Bate played the last 2 weeks with less than full match fitness, would we expect the same with Watts?

Hopefully Bailey sheds some light on the situation tonight on Footy Classified.

 

Would love to see him, Sylvia & Garland back asap. Adds a bit of class.....

lets remember he is 18 and it took ages for Gumbleton, Kennedy, Hawkins, Tippett, Mitc Clark etc to to anything......

that's true, and he was yopunger than those blokes when drafted, had school commitments plus has already had several injuries. Just getting impatient, I know it is nobody's fault but want to see him out there

Those names dont really have me getting excited.

Bailey has stated that Watts needs to play a couple of games at Casey before getting a senior call up... he mention two games in the twos and Watts should be back about round 4 or 5 (all this info was just prior to rnd 1) in the red and blue.

Not sure if the 50% (last week) he played counts as one game so I reckon he will be back for rnd 5.

 

Round 4!

Watts to have a day out against the tigers and deliver me a happy 21st birthday present!

I am tipping Jacky Watts to come back a couple games before we play Carlton.. then he can get his match fitness a bit higher for our match with the blues..

We win... he kicks 4 and cleans up brock mclean... then stands over him and say " Good choice mate... "


For the much vaunted #1 pick of a draft introducing itself into the best-of-all-time ranks, Jack is becoming quite the enigma --- no thanks to a disturbing lack of communication between the club and its members.

For instance, is he on a modified program due to his back and unavailable until Round 4? If so, why were supporters asking of him in the past weekend's Casey game?

Personally, I think Watts puns should be a bannable offence. Especially recycled Watts puns.

Watts for? It's often the only thing Watts Watts thread titles use to give away Watts the thread's point is. And if you don't know Watts the thread's about, then Watts going to make you click on it so you can say Watts you think?

Watts up your butt?

there, haven't heard that one before have ya

On on the couch, they asked hodgey if he had any advice for Watts as a former #1 who spent his first few years injured while Ball and Judd ripped it up at other clubs.

He just said the club told him that not to worry about it and only concentrate on what the club want's him to do, and I dare say MFC would be saying the same to watts.

You forgot the scenario that somehow injures Judd, Warnock and Johnson as well. Not sure how you're going to get to Johnson sitting in the stands but I'm sure we'll find a way.

Kick it to Jim for a speccy on him?

Ugh...

How many of this exact thread do we need????

There is no 'disturbing lack of communication' on this issue. It couldn't be clearer.

Jack had some injury issues that interrupted his pre-season. He is working through those and will have to perform well at VFL level in order to earn a call-up. VFL season starts on Saturday, we will be told how he plays, I assure you.

This has been repeated ad nauseum across all manner of different media.

We are not going to get a minute-by-minute commentary on how Jack went at training today, whether he thought Avatar should've won Best Picture or if he decided this morning it would be easier to just wear the same pair of jocks again rather than do a load of washing.

Honestly people, read a book or something to pass the time.


Am I reading a little too much into Bailey's comments on Footy Classified when he said "Jack's application is (slight pause) fine". He wouldn't talk about McKenzie's application in that way, or Scully's. I know the club is doing it's best to not hype him up after all the hype he started with, but i'm starting to wonder if it has now turned into a effort to lower expectations.

For anybody who was at the training on Good Friday will know that Watts did the whole session and then a bit more, he looks fine, so does Col Garland, Col Sylvia also trained strongly......but the club is being CAUTIOUS...as with the exasperation expressed by Inner Demon.....there is no conspiracy, the club is making sure that everybody is fit and firing and can stand up to the rigours of a full AFL game and then some.......I want Watts to come in and stay in and to actually play CHF, I hate to think what Lake, Scarlett etc would do to him if he is not physically ready.

They have worked on Blease and now he is ready and I am sure we will see both him and Gysberts in the very near future, as well as Watts

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
