Watts' work rate

[titan_uranus 25,042]

Critics who argue that the impediment to our finals chances in 2011 is our relatively weak forward line underestimate Watts. From what we saw last night, he could really be one heck of an improved player.

With the spotlight takeen off him, and with the advantage of time & maturity, I feel Jack finally feels he is part of the MFC.

He has off field community roles, which he clearly enjoys and his body is catching up to his ability.

I think Jack has found himself and sees his place within a very exciting group of young players. He has had to withstand a torrid 2 year AFL debut, with inadequate patience shown by members, which undermined his confidence and self belief.

We now have another player in our 22 who wants to be there and can change the course of a game.

Well done Jack and to all those that supported him.

So excited to see what this kid is going to become! Every match is going to build confidence and momentum, and when this kid hits his potential... Look out.

Always had a soft spot for Watts since he came to the club; was judged too harshly for an 18 year old out of school. Looking forward to seeing him play this year. Good performance by the Dee's last night.

The Watts 'don't argue' was the highlight of the night for me.

Would love it if someone could put that up on youtube.

Really impressed with Watts last night. He is going for contested marks with more confidence and is oh so smart with every aspect of his disposal and positioning. He will be very special payer. The 'don't argue' was good but it must be remembered that it was against Hitchcock, who is one of their smallest players. Still, it showed a new confidence and that Watts is feeling more like he should be out there with the big boys.

The Dees really impressed me with their speed all over the ground.

Martin is very quick and could still prove to be a very handy ruckman/utility. He is still learning the game.

Jetta was great. Always gives 100%. Love his mongrel, and he seems to have improved his ball use.

Garland just gets better. He, Rivers, Grimes and MacDonald are such good readers of the ball in flight. These are great attributes for defenders.

Cook did not look out of place. Smart and with great ball use. He wasn't as skinny as I expected. Tom McDonald also

I suspect Maric will earn a spot at some stage this year but i have a feeling he will continue to frustrate us with decision making. I hope I'm wrong.

Nicholson and Evans looked pretty good and just needed to adjust to the pace of the game. I suspect they'll both play a lot at Casey this year but certainly look like 'keepers'.

Trengove reminds me of Bartel. There 'just doing it' all the time.

Jurrah was electric and is now such a drawcard for us. People will start coming to games just to watch him. A rare jewell.

So much to be excited about!
