anyone hear Dean Bailey on MMM yesterday around 5.30 ??

Brayshaw asked about Watts and he replied he is now 92 kg and should comfortably be 96-7 kilos next year and then we will see a real difference in his ability to contest. For this year though he said he expected watts to start sominating some quarters of football.

This is where Baileys development skills will be put to the sword. I hope to be pleasantly surprised but i cannot see him dominating quarters unless he was left alone. possibly on the ball ?

I also find it hard to believe he is 92 kg when he looks slighter than even the lighter talls in the opposition.

I hope Bailey is right, he sounds confident, but he never looked like dominating on Sunday.

As I posted in another thread I thought Watts looked a little frightened on Sunday (along with maric).He likes to contest marks from behind where he is not going to get the body contact and he skirted around a few contests where he was required to get involved.At 92kg he should be starting to get involved more.

He has a great upside skills wise ,however if he doesn't find the courage when he matures a bit then he will never fulfill his potential.I think this season bailey should pick him on form and not potential.

Also heard from a reliable source that he has been told to pull his head in by coaching staff re partying.

This is light for his frame - buddy has 10kg on him at the same height for example.

No excuse for not showing courage IMO once you have put on the red and blue jumper.

confidence will remain a big factor until he beefs up.
