Jack Watts

[e25 5]

Something different:

melbourne et watts optimus sunt

Explanation please: I'm not cultured enough to speak French.

sooner or later JW will tear a game open and kick 4-5 and the internet will explode

Back on topic...

Any idea how young Jack goes in the wet?

I'm excited to see how he goes in the humidity when the pill is like a bar of soap.

I reckon he'll go out and handle it like he's in the prison showers.

IIRC it was wet (or wet-ish) in the Brisbane game last year? And QBW as well.

I reckon he'll be OK.

Explanation please: I'm not cultured enough to speak French.

Either this is humourous, or somewhat ironic as it's Latin, not French.

It means melbourne and watts are best

parlez vous francais?

Yeah, I knew it was Latin but unfortunately not one of my strong points.

The extent of my Latin is "carpe diem", "caveat emptor", "et tu Jcb"

and "ad infinitum" (in reference to Miller dropping marks).

out of interest, for those who do know Latin, would "carpe nox" be correct for "seize the night"?

Ive been unable to get a definite translation.

Playing with dictionaries I've come across nox, notcum among others

[Salems Lot 2,369]

OK Reims I'll spell it out for you - posting to say there are too many posts relates directly the first defintion of irony as previously posted. Oh but that's right, your argument is somehow above the most accepted source of defintion for terms of the english language, being the dictionary.

And you gh obviously have no understanding of poetic licence...

And I reiterate, nor does Alanis Morrisette LOL

I believe it's the title of the 9th episode of Lost - season 6, will you accept that?

Getting back on topic -

I bet Jack Watts knows a whole lot more Latin than Nic Nat.

Think that's an example of class stereotyping.

Well AD, if you are going to survive this thread, I hope you know where your towel is Thanks for all the fish.

Why do you have a picture of the Carlton coach as your avatar ?

[Rogue 585]

Oh boy. Now you are going to make e look like some kind of 'elitist who uses language as a weapon' to paraphrase a previous topic. Which I'm not in this case, irony is an extremely 'tricky' (pun intended) thing. People make mistakes with it on a daily basis including myself. Just ask my brother who delights in pointing out my foibles.

But correct me if i'm wrong Arthur Dent, I'm fairly certain he intended his post to have the meaning his words expressed. "Haven't we all said enough already?" It's a subtle thing I know but also not ironic

A comment doesn't need to be intentionally ironic to be ironic.

I really hope that after tonight's game everyone will just STFU about Jack Watts and let him be.

Wait and let him develop in peace and quiet.

Rising Star nomination?

[Redleg 37,582]

Rising Star nomination?

Considering Melksham got one for 14 possessions he should bolt one in.

[Felix 92]

true that

[LuvMyDees 18]

So every one of you nay sayers.... did you see a bit of Jack Watts tonight?

Now I know why He got No. 4

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

Did he touch the ball in the last quarter? I only had radio and I don't think I heard his name mentioned once. Not that I would blame him in those conditions given that he still lacks a little fitness. Still, he seems to have had a hell of a game. Two goals and a bunch of assists.

[Jaded No More 57,827]

But you can bet that Watts will never get a nomination for anything less than a 6 goal, 29 marks and 4 goal assists performance.

If Naitanui farts tomorrow he'll get another nomination though.

The ball was barely in our forwardline in the last quarter.

That'll be quite a feat considering you can only be nominated once.

[jayceebee31 666]

Watts should get the nomination this week-starred in the first half.

[Jaded No More 57,827]

That'll be quite a feat considering you can only be nominated once.

Not if you're Naitanui.

Apparently you can only be declared the winner of the award after round 22 as well

Latin for

rough translation:

Ab - from

abeterno - eternity (roughly)

so: since the beginning of time.

Its also masculine for those that care
