So many skeptics on this forum writing off Jack Watts as a 'dud' not so long ago. Come on admit that you were very wrong and that Jack is a fantastic player demonstrating guts, skill and attitude. Well done Wattsy.

    If this guy was playing for a top side he'd be a confirmed star and pushing serious Brownlow votes.

    I absolutely love this guy.

    Is he a shot for the B&F? I could be wrong but when someone plays a lone hand in a big loss, they clean up with the votes. Watts is becoming renowned for this!

    I've already fessed up but am happy to do so again. He's terrific and i just love watching his competitive spirit. Seems like a really decent young bloke too. Watts and Trengove are terrific.

    I'm not sure there is enough egg to go around .... he is great and I feel good as i never ever wrote him off. He's a class act, born leader ! I'd make him captain over green !!

    I am guilty of thinking we'd made a mistake. I am eating my words and I admit he is fast becoming my favorite player. Sorry for doubting you Jack!

    Looks like he is going to be a great player after all. He showed signs last year, he has proven himself this year. The only thing that pisses me off is that they chuck him in the back line whenever the going gets tough. He's become a quality utility, oh wait that's right, we drafted him to be a key forward. Sh*t, MFC coaching staff take your hat off. But still will always be a better player than NicNat, guaranteed. So much class and poise. The only problem is that poofy haircut and pedo beard that he grows. I think its called a razor and number 2 on the clippers...

    with a small handful of others in the last few weeks who actually looked like they gave a sh!t.....he was buggered towards the end of the game...cos he pushed and pushed...not like some of our so called leaders

    Jack Watts, McKenzie and Frawley are in my opinion the only blokes who can hold their heads up high after the last two weeks. Put these blokes in the leadership group.

    Quickly rising in our B&F, won't win it, but plays in our best every week and shines when we play poorly. Love watching him play. Actually, when I can't get to the footy he is one of the reasons I watch, even if er get beaten badly. I agree with you Maco - stop #%@*&%$@ playing Watts down back. The reason he is missing easy goals is he gets so little game time practicing. Enough of the Development phase"!!! Play Watts forward.

    What about Trengove?

    Nearly goal of the year today .Disciplined payer as well .Liked the look of him from his first game-yes , the first one .

    I'm about to turn 60, haven't owned a guernsey for about 50 years. My present to myself is a new MFC guernsey with the No. 4 on the back. I've been backing him from the beginning and he's the most positive thing to happen during this mostly forgettable season. To borrow a line from a friend on the inside at the Club, "Jack Watts is going to be a star for us, on and off the field".

    Don't worry maco...once the midfield matures he won't be down back at all...After Strauss left the ground, Jack was needed down there.

    I'm absolutely thrilled for the lad. He has had to put up with more $h!t than any other early draft pick that I can remember, and he is coming through it brilliantly. One of very few shining lights in an otherwise dismal season. Well done Jack!

    60 years old and still wearing a footy jumper! RESPECT!

    Being best player in the losing side against the AFL's best teams should be worth double b & f votes.

    Watts is our shining light this season and our next genuine superstar.

    Shades of The Ox circa 1995 in that pirouette goal on the run in the first.

    Green out as Captain, he's been the biggest dissapointment this year, not up to it. Trengove and Watts co-captains or Trengove Captain and Watts V-C

    It was never in doubt that he'd be a very good player for mine. Only moron opposition supporters who liked to dig the heels in and dreadfully short sighted MFC supporters thought otherwise.

    The real question is and always has been if he'll become the star we need. That question still remains, but I'm ecstatic with the signs so far.

  • Quote

    I'd say Jack would be certain for at least a top 5 b&f finish if he keeps up his current form for the next few weeks.

    I know it doesn't mean much, but could you imagine the media hysteria if NicNat had of kicked a goal like Jacks today.

  • Quote

    Looked SO frustrated so often. What a pity he had so little support. I wish he could afford to do a little less around the ground so he had enough left to lead like a maniac. The other Melbourne players seemed not to get that he doesn't need metres on his man to take a mark on the lead, he only needs a step. There were plenty of chances to kick the ball into space in front of him for JW to run onto, but instead we wait, wait, wait, and bomb long to a massive contest... So stoopid.

    Both of Watts' goals were great. He's started to get that Buckley (Nathan NOT Simon!) look when the goals beckon..."I don't care how far out I am, this ball IS going through those sticks!"

    Today I thought Watts put his hand up and showed hes the future Captain.

    New Coach, and make Watts Captain.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
