Demons' Jack Watts ready to take on the elite

Featured Replies

I'm being facetious, as I'm trying to cling to any positives I can find.

2014 is the Year of the Horse....Longmire (Horse) coaches Swans....Roos coached Swans = premiership....Roos coaches Dees = premiership? *Sigh* Mebbe for Longmire.

increase medication now

:)

 

MAN, we have all been analysing, critiquing, discussing, booing, cheering, applauding, hypothesising, supporting and disregarding this kid since the day his name was read out by the club as the number 1 draft pick. I think it's time we just let the kid play and move on.

He does after all getto bag a healthy swag for all that he does .

He's not new to this and he has the ingredients of a very good player.. The Soufle has yet to rise....sts.

Mebbe the kid should just get out of the media spotlight and play footy?

I'm sure he'd like to do that, I don't think he requested he be under the media spotlight....

Then again, maybe the media spotlight might help him find a bit of mongrel somewhere....

You drive a hard bargain Ben - but no.

Seem to have got you down from the 40s though.

20, 61 and a couple of pygmies ?

I hope so.

Maybe the kid doesn't ask for the spotlight. The club knows everyone is interested.

Yeah Jack Watts' i's 'great.'' '''

an' that.

I think you'll find it's 'dat'.


Nurse!

Happy to contribute to the debate:

I reckon Jack Watts could surprise or disappoint.

Profound observational and interpretative skills, Roger. And I totally agree.

good, as have i. Wanna hit the pub? I hear the Royal's lovely this time of year.

The Royal Mail at Dunfeld? Or somewhere closer to Melbourne?

Machsy, if we get rid of those who go off topic who are the overly smug going to complain about? A case in point: I thought Watts and Pendlebury played different positions in basketball. I was wrong but, as quick as you like, you were there to label me a twit. I have no problem with that but If we follow the letter of the law re abusing others, I'd have to think you'd have a spell on the sidelines. To tell you the truth, relentlese teeth grinders such as yourself shite me to tears. It's a footy forum.

Have a great day.

There's plenty to complain about.

You weren't even aiming to be funny when you said Pendlebury & Watts played different positions in basketball.

But the point is, you were slating a player, and the opinions of others, based on something you clearly knew nothing about.

I'd expect to be labelled a twit under the same circumstances.

If we followed the letter of the law, half the posters on this forum would be banned daily.

Including both of us.

I don't grind my teeth, but I find your attempts at humour along with your mates on this forum to be utterly pathetic.

I like humour, but FCS, put some intellect into it.

Lighten up Francis.

Light as a feather.

*Apologies for any perceived attempts at light humour.

Now can we get back to flogging the dead horse that is Jack Watts likely position/potential/physical assets and perceived lack of toughness.

I could train a robot to write various cliches about him to keep on topic and within the rigid structures people have come to expect from this neatly arranged site.

But then Machsy and Co would be redundant.

Long live any "utterly pathetic attempts at humour" in the middle of January when the latest real news we have had from the club is "the boys went training in 42 degree heat and used a fridge on a truck to cool down between drills."

Life as we know it does not depend on the verity and sincerity of every posters intimate thoughts on Jack Watts progress as a player, or lack thereof.

Happy to contribute to the debate:

I tend to agree and disagree in equal measure.
