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.

Better than Kreuzer

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.

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.

Posted

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
