"A lapsed Melbourne supporter, the young forward said he was more likely to watch a St Kilda game these days, to see Nick Riewoldt go about his work."

a lapsed supporter... what the hell does that mean!

    means that as a kid he couldn't bear to be the only melbourne supporter at school

    Sad state of affairs

    It means he was a Melbourne member, until, like most afl prospects, he realised he'd likely have to give away his allegiances at some stage, so he did.

    Nothing more.

    Along the lines as that crap term MFCSS or similar?

    It hurts that # 1 pick threads are back again. I thought this forum was past that for the next decade.

    He means he loves watching footy but got sick of the dribble we served up so he moved on.

    If, as suggested, he's just going to leave anyway why would GWS give us pick #1 for him? They could have Scully and Patton and we'll get some dinky compensation pick that will be used well after this bloke has been snapped up.

    You're suggesting that we trade a kid who we know is going to be a gun for this player I've only just heard about?

    No way, Scully is the best prospect of a Melbourne player being a superstar since Allan Jackovich (who did not become one due to laziness, booze and girls). I don't rate Lyon as a superstar, the closest we have had in my life time is Flower but you can't become a super star if you play for a team that almost always finished in the bottom 3.

    Why because you get excited by a 196cm 97kg kid dominating 18 year olds.

    Will need to look at him play but recruiters need to be careful with Tom Hawkins types where they are too big and too strong for their opponents.

    Yes TH makes JW look like the recruit of the century.

    He is probably not Robinson Crusoe

    My daughter did the same at 12.

    Still ribs with " why do you still follow that bunch of cream puffs" 21 years later.

    This kid is the real deal, first time I saw him play he bagged back to back goals from 50m out on the boundary. It certanitly left an impression on me and he has managed to step up this year with massive expectations. Looking forward to seeing him in the U/18 champs.

    GWS bound. Best not even entertaining the idea of getting him.

  • Quote

    As stated in the article, he is AFL ready. Butcher was skinnier than Watts when he was drafted.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
