The funny thing about Watts

Featured Replies

Posted

As you have all noticed and watched..

the last 3 games have been against Collingwood, Saints and Doggies.

We have witnessed Jack Watts put his head over the footy and show some serious grunt and hard work. Watts has been kicking goals and look really lively, something we have rarely seen from him.

The funny thing about him is that, he could and in my opinion get even better, Jack throughout matches drops some very silly marks and makes some errors and i get the feeling by rnd 1 2014 he wont drop or make any errors. Once this kid gets some confidence he's going to be a jet.
I finally believe we are seeing the start of Jack Watts

He will get heaps better and by the time he is 25 will be in the top 20 players in the game, mark my words.

no no, i completely agree, he's going to be prolific in the improvement of the Melbourne Football Club and tonight showed it

 

Now everybody can stop calling for him to be traded!


Never stopped believing! defended him even when he wasn't defendable will he be a star I hope so but that will largely depend on the team around him

Happy to admit i ate some delicious humble pie tonight.

Don't get me wrong, I love watts.

Did neeld ever think about our forward line next year?

Who will be our key forwards?

Clarke

Dawes

Watts

Hogan

Fitzpatrick

Gawn

Jamar

Howe

Talk about options.........

 

Jack is a really important cog to this team plus don't underestimate how many junior supporters have his number on their MFC jumper.

But my worry is.....Clarke, Dawes, Hogan, Fitzpatrick and Watts. Have we gone too top heavy. Jack must be asking what his role in the forward line is.

watts clark hogan dawes and howe

surely the greatest forward line in AFL/VFL history coming up for us

edit: let's put it in a time capsule now, for the first time all 5 of them line up, hopefully it is R1 2014 unless of course one of them is injured

When Watts dominated Junior football, he was a stick amongst sticks.

Came into AFL, he was a stick figure amongst big bodies.

How can a kid compete when he is coming from so far back.

Once Jack's body catches up to where it needs to be - to play as a forward, like he was doing in juniors, then we will see him dominate.

Watts is still only catching up.

In this day and age, the media has a job, they will pray on footballers, hoping they fail, then when they fail, you'll see the odd sympathy piece.

If we all didn't read papers and instead used our commonsense, then they'd be no need to worry about Jack Watts.

Jets of the competition perform week in week out, lets not confuse that with

a player stung by criticism. If he performs like consistently I'll become a fan.

Not before.

will only be great with a top crumbing forward in the mix


wah wah wah... Watts was BOG Saturday night. Haters gon' hate, but they can also suck it.

He can really play. Just my opinion however I thought he went missing a bit last night. When he was hot though, he was an inferno. Keep going Jack

Jamar a forward? LOL

Take Gawn out too, he will be our number 1 ruckman

Then let Davey play with the other five. He will not let you down despite the doomsayers claiming he has finished!

This is not a worry, it's a dream. We will be versatile and have strong depth. It's highly unlikely we will have all fully fit and firing every game so they will all get game time. Hogan will probably need to be rested next season, and clark probably as well with his injury history. We will have Watts, Howe and Clark playing has half forwards taking a heap of marks and then kicking it in to both Dawes and Hogan at F/F kicking goals. We should keep Davey on as a small forward and work on teaching Blease to take over as the forward pocket in the future.

Never gave up hope on the kid.

Love his confidence kicking for goal on any angle.

Genuine superstar in the making.

Just goes to show, Neeld had NFI!!! The modern day Robin Hood. If Neeld had integrity he'd decline substantial payout.

So is Neil Craig lying when he gives credit to the work put in by Mark Neeld?

Also, Jack was sublime as was the 21 other blokes and Craig. Jones' lace out pass to Watts just one if the highlights. McDonald's run from half back scratched the surface of the potential we have. Toumpas & Nicholson's dash had me excited once again for red & blue. And just on that, it was nice seeing the boys wearing their traditional uniform last night. The white gives me the $hits.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
