Watts and MacDonald - Laughing Like Schoolboys

So I'm sure some of you saw both Watts and MacDonald giggling like little boys at the site of them on the screen at Kardina.

I thought it was a pretty awful look considering we were down by 6 goals, and both had just been dropped. Watts was in hysterics, seemed to be quite the happy chappy.

I know a few of you will look at this as a beat-up, just another way to attack Watts. But I've actually been vocal in the last week about his performance last week, that it was a tough game for talls and he had a tough game. See my previous posts for proof.

If ever I need convincing that this "kid" (and I mean that in the literal sense) was just not the professional we need/ed him to be, that moment was it. MacDonald's response was a bit like, "LOL...ok cool, calm down Wattsy". But Watts just kept going and going.

I'm VERRRRRY surprised Malthouse didn't say something. You could just tell that he wanted to. Both times the camera was on Watts, he had a big smile on his face.

It looked terrible we were getting creamed and he was laughing his head off; that seems to sum up his attitude it's all in good fun you get beat no harm done.

Just on another note I saw some of the Casey game at half time and Jack laid a tackle which was the most insipid I think I've ever seen; sorry I didn't hurt you did I?

To be honest, I agree to an extent. Footy should be serious business to these guys, and even if one of them cracked a joke or something, I don't think Watts should have gone on and on and on laughing when he knew the cameras were on him. I don't really care about the laughing, but I'm worried about what it might say about him as a person. Does he really care about footy?
 

So effin what?

They'd just played in a big win, themselves. Maybe they were high from that.


Normally I'd be critical of threads like these as overreaction, but considering where we are as a club, on the back of accusations the players don't care, 0-6, Watts dropped, and getting dominated in normal play, it was a really bad look in my opinion to see the #1 draft pick joking around while we head towards another 10 goal loss. Not what I want to see as a supporter amidst all the talk that we're determined to get better.

Is it pre-season again? Nothing else to post about?

How about we critiicize Watts for his hair-cut or choice of after-shave?

Inane.

I don't think he knew the cameras were on him, to be fair (not saying I'm fine with the way they were acting).

Blease was sitting next to them busy 'Tweeting' away on his iPhone...seems to be a bit on the outer with his teammates in my opinion.
 

Pathetic thread. Been covered in game day thread.

It looked terrible we were getting creamed and he was laughing his head off; that seems to sum up his attitude it's all in good fun you get beat no harm done.

He also kicked 4 goals and was in the best. A bit harsh to bag him for a tackle.


Is this really a comment on a 'supporters' forum?

Jack just kicked 4 and played well. He's not paid to look sad and be the barometer for the supporters emotions.

Support the boys. It's not only the least you can do, it's the only thing!

I'm also strongly of the opinion that ever since he ditched the mop and opted for a more clean-cut hair style, we've lost our drive out of the middle.

Just sayin'

Obviously someone cracked a joke. Even the supporters behind were laughing. Lay off.

I'm sure he wasn't laughing on Thursday when he was dropped and he responded correctly by doing his best for casey. Non issue

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
