Hopefully Watts follows his example of taking the game on, and play on your natural instincts. We've seem glimpse's of what he is capable of, time to put it all together.

Really interested to see how JKH backs up next game, we've been screaming for a small forward with goal smarts for years.

Just got home from the parlor. Got myself a JKH tattoo.

[Dee Fan 3,247]

Love him he's got flair, skill, personality and a good football brain.

I see JKH every second night, walking down that subway with his headphones on, worried about shadows that turn out to be protective services officers.

Reckon there is abit of Matty Stokes about this kid? maybe Christiansan?

Stokes for sure. Neat kick, little bit of pace, gets to the right spots all the time.

Christensen is a much more inside player, he's not bad in space but his real talent is stoppages.

I didn't see this post earlier, my bad.

In the video posted when drafted I thought his kicking very average as they seemed to sit up a lot.

Watching him Friday night his kicking was quite good.

[monoccular 17,413]

Just wondering what others who have been down to training thought about this......

JKH is the most intense trainer I've seen at a Melbourne training session. He trains as if he has Roos watching his every move. His hands at ground level are ridiculous at full pace, lightning quick, his skills are very sharp, and his work rate from what I've seen is the highest on the track. His highlight reel from last year showed a kid who played on at all costs and backed his pace. Combine that with our lack of successful small forwards and it's something to get excited about.

Just something to be positive about after a difficult decade. And I know positivity is a rare occurrence on here and will probably get picked off by the haters.

JKH is on fire!

From reading the above link we are obviously blessed to have this dead gorgeous fine young man as one of our neighbours

[Tatu 416]

Would the club support him, if he wanted to continue his acting career? Do we expect him to give up acting?

So I suppose we have our PSOs to thank for the fact that a young black man can at last walk alone in a deserted train station tunnel late at night without fear of reprisal.

Acting** can be pretty time consuming, so I would say it would be very much on the back burner if he wishes to reach and stay at top level AFL, which he appears to do.

**(unless you are referring to a certain #18 ex Essendon full forward of course, who combined footy and acting extremely well)

No you can thank our stars that we have another indigenous star on our list who is the best think since Davey and Farmer combined!

Yeah, Paul Van der Haar was great in Titanic. Not so keen on him in Indepenence Day.

For those who can remember big Bob Johnson. He was the king of the actors and could play footy pretty well as well.

I loved his clip when he was drafted. He showed energy, skill and work rate. Now he proved that he can do it at AFL level. Exciting prospect.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Congrats JKH on his first goal in AFL footy, in only his second game (and his second time as the sub)! Even had another shot or two but couldn't get it through the big sticks.

Would've been great if his teammates moved their ass and came over to congratulate the kid, given how special a moment that would've been for him. Must be asking too much!

[P-man 13,366]

Deserves a start next week. A tiny glimmer of light when he came on. Needs game time.

[SaberFang 7,151]

Was definitely the spark missing in the first quarter. I'd be disappointed if he still hasn't earned a starting position for next week in Roosy's eyes. Really need to use that sub jacket as a rocket up the ass for players who aren't delivering (Trengove??)

Completely agree - so it's worth adding that Frawley came all the way from the backline to congratulate him along with two others who happened to be nearby (and whose identities I've now forgotten). So well done JKH and Frawley.

[Bedraggled Dee 336]

JKH showed some of the older players what was required. Gave a real spark to the team and I would love to see him start.
