Watts' work rate

Featured Replies

Posted

Really impressed with Watts' composure and work rate tonight. Multiple leads many times over and displayed really good awareness. His game(s) tonight reminded me very much of Terry Daniher in the '80's. Always on the move, good on the ground and at a lot of contests. I think this might well be Jack's go long term and if he turns out to be vaguely as good as Daniher then we will have done very well.

 

I for one am disappointed. I was told to believe he was crap and a waste of a number one pick.

Bring back Naitanui.

:rolleyes:

Don't compare Watts to someone, compare someone to Watts, if you know what I mean :)

Well comparing him to Watts I'd have to say he is just like him.

I've noticed recently that the trolls on BF have started to shut up about him, and those that haven't are getting told they are fools by other opposition supporters. Now I look forward to 10 years of them trying to find things to bag him on because they are jealous they don't have him.

He's looking better all the time and a couple of good marks are a sign of the future. Look forward to handing out some egg for the idiots to apply to their faces.

The ones bagging Watts never looked past their own teams .

If tonight in greasy conditions is any example he'll silence them all this year , bigger , stronger , more confident and will only get better .

Just seeing him flying for pack marks without being intimidated by big bodies was great .

Never Fear the #1 Draft pick is here .

He looked good tonight, his judgment in marking and kicking skills are great.

He has bulked up and was excited by the fact he had done his first pre-season in the interview after the Power game.

He's going to make a lot of people eat humble pie this year, who were to quick to judge a kid who when first played, had come straight from school without a pre-season.

He Is,,, isn't he. I'm sure he is.

Morton's got to be your man, He's the one!

 

For Supercoach/Dreamteam fans, Watts surely must be on the radar? Capable of doubling his output this year as he grows in confidence. At his current price (260-280k range) He is the type of unique pick who could win you a league flag ...


As i have said on another, mercifully vanishing thread i would be more concerned about losing Watts than any one else

Watts' work rate has always been fantastic.

But as he has gotten bigger, he is now able to effectively fend off I have noticed, rather than get caught ALL THE TIME. Still struggles with the one-on-one loose ball at times, but his work rate is oh so very much there!

Good mark too.

Never Fear the #1 Draft pick is here .

This is Marvelous, we should make a banner for the MCG Home games with that Emblazened across the great southern!!

If I were to compare him to anyone, I'd like to think of him as a young Nick Riewoldt; the same people used to bag the hell out of him when he was a kid, but look at him now: silence....

Not so sure about the silence , he'll cop heaps this year .


second best on ground behind the Trengovernor. Aside from the shanked shot on goal was absolute class. How many big marks? 3 or 4. Was all over the ground playing like a midfielder. F--king gun! Woohoo!

Forgive me for this post, but, when Killer did the don't argue in the defensive 50 tonight, I had a footy fan climax. Trengove, Jurrah, Jetta, were superb tonight, but seeing Watts starting to add physical dominance to his presence on ground tonight was something worth waiting 3 years for. He has copped so much undeserved criticism from so many people in his first two seasons. The silence will begin this year. Good on him.

Watts went for big pack mark - that alone would've given him a tick from me tonight. The rest was class. Built on the praccy game. As did Jetta and Maric. These are great signs.

Agreed, best marks he has taken for the MFC.

Thought maric was very good today as a crumbing forward as well

He took all he's opportunities, loved jack watts though, was watching

The game with a Carlton and a essendon supporter and for them to shut

Up and not bag killer was huge, I loved every minute of it, also told my

Mate to enjoy Scott fumbleton!!!


Terrific. Nightmare for the opposition, running on wing drops back into 50.

Agreed, best marks he has taken for the MFC.

They were good, but I was more referring to a big pack he went up smack bang in the middle of, didn't get near it, but it was a great sign.

Last year he'd have hung back.

Keeps on improving.A couple of more pre seasons and WOW- look at what has happened to Chip after a couple of good pre seasons. A definate star in the making.

Fair call, misread it.

Couldn't help but notice the resemblence to the under-18s highlights videos from way back when the debate was about whether he'd be number 1 pick.

It's almost as if, as he has put on strength and stamina to compete at AFL level, he has built up confidence to play his natural game again...

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
