Watts likely to re-sign

Featured Replies

I'm sick of the 'he's still skinny' excuse. You're not going to become brave just because you put on a few kilo's. Petterd and Frawley never went through this '[censored] stage' and they were skinny when first drafted. Lynden Dunn has never taken a backward step despite being skinny. Danny Hughes too, despite only playing the 1 game never takes a backward step. He is slim. Bartram too in his first year. I think Watts will be a good player but being courageous will not be one of his assets. I would suggest a Riewoldt without the courage is his potential.

Funny, when Riewoldt started out, everyone said he was without courage.

I would suggest a Riewoldt that is better at ground level and far more reliable when trying to hit a target , Goal or player . Not sure if his contested marking will be as good but I see Riewoldt as the best in the comp in that dept. If he isn't quite as good in the air ... too bad .

Its going to quite interesting how views will have changed for some in a years time !!

Watts is a work in progress.. and he'll have progressed a bit by this time next year.

Find it somewhat amusing that he's expected to have arrived when hes really only just got here !

 

I'm confused which Riewoldt people are talking about these days... :rolleyes:

Give Watts a break in comparing him to Riewoldt and likes...

He is 19 and has played one season against seasoned players.

I have no doubt he will become a fantastic player. Give him a little time.

Hearing opposition players bag him out week after week is just laughable too me. They will eat there shorts very soon.

Watts up!

I just vomited in my mouth a little.

Dunn is tough as guts. Solid unit and not afraid to use his size to advantage - it's just starting to come to fruition now.

BUT... I can't recall Dunn ever being "skinny"??

Lynden Dunn has never taken a backward step despite being skinny.

It was just in his early years he was reluctant to take a forward step when necessary.

Welcome back Freak. Nathan Bock is off to GC. He is apparently on a good contract. Was the house meant for Ablett jnr bought for Bock?

You can't be serious.

Dunn has came a long way, but up until this year he avoided all physical contests.

That is probably why he was given tagging roles and dropped to Casey, so he can work on his physicality.

Oh and don't confuse being a shite and managing to draw free kicks, with being tough. He is an annoying back-chatter on the field, but he isn't tough. Mind you, he does put himself in contests now, which is a really good step and one of the key reasons for his rapid improvement.

Just goes to show that you can't buy bravery, but you can force yourself to become more attacking.

Bit of light-hearted humour I was referred to not long ago. Kind of funny. Gotta laugh at these things while they're young and not be too serious about it all. We'll be laughing when he's the next N. Riewoldt though ;)

P.S. There's a fair few more of "Joke Watts" vids out there on the Tube. Sorry to all those precious Wattsy fans out there. Thought we'd better have a bit of an intermission though...


Watt's is a kid learning to play like a man.

Once he works it out, the upside and improvement will be massive, and it will happen quickly.

His potential, and gradual improvement is unquestionable.........I think Watt's will end up being an absolute star!

WTF is Brad Miller doing in that last video? Not providing an option, no sheparding, getting in the way and then missing a tackle on Medhurst.

Edited by Harcourt

A few extra kilos and he'll slam that 1st goal and dish the don't argue in the second clip .

thats one thing Miller consistently does.... run into our own players, rnd 1 this year where he slammed into Bate and Bate had to come off with the blood rule.

GREAT call. If Miller did the right team thing in the 2nd clip, Watts could have quite easily had more time and space to make a decision.

It's great to see that people can have a bit of a laugh about Wattsy and not be overly sensitive and too serious about it all.

All in good fun :)

“There was never really any doubt that Jack would stay at Melbourne from this point and he is excited about what the club is doing with so many top young players there.”

BRILLIANT NEWS - bollocks to the critics like that peanut Walls.

The kid is the future of the forward line, and a superstar in the making.

Three years aswell, apparently. Also mentions Bate re-signing - also good stuff. ^_^

Bate and Watts. Lovely. :)


But...but..Bate hasn't been playing and Mckenna bought an extra house...

Good-o. I look forward to seeing him develop into a powerhouse during this contract.

That house is for Brad Miller, or actually Pia.

McKenna is trying to make a move.

On a separate note, I love me a Jack Watts thread. Definitely long overdue for one.

 

The world needs more Jack Watts threads...

But...but..Bate hasn't been playing and Mckenna bought an extra house...

I reckon it's gotta be on an ancient Indian burial ground or something, cos everyone that's planned to move in ends up pulling the pin.

  • 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

    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.
