2013 Player Review - # 4 Jack Watts

After five years, the former #1 draft pick is still unable to break into the club' top 10 in the B & F. He has the talent but needs to knuckle down and play the tough hard football one expects of such a prized selection. Yet to commit to the club for 2014 and beyond, but new coach Paul Roos is confident he will sort him out if he stays.

    How do I say this without drawing a multitude of supporters of the "he is [censored] weak" style or "he lacks ticker" etc they are not required as he has had plenty of them and I do not totally disagree.

    However I would rather that he plays the "tough hard football"when his body is able to absorb that punishment or there are others around him able to provide equivalent support.

    I would prefer his skills to be used even if on the periphery of contests than have him in the injured room where many tough no compromise players end up.

    He is still relatively young and slightly built compared to others and I reckon Roos will develop him as a player as his body develops. Roos can maybe recognise the features of similarity with A Lynch

    he should be developed as a goodes or goddard or hird

    skills: 9

    athleticism: 9

    brains: 9

    ticker: 3

    I would give him more for ticker but it bodes well that you score him 9/10 for the other qualities as that in itself makes him elite in the AFL>

    nope, elite players are 8-9 in all categories, that's what makes them elite

    Agreed! Looking for PRoos to sort him out! Expected the dotted line signed by now. Terms etc have been agreed to

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
