WATTS, SHORT CIRCUITING OR NOT?

Featured Replies

He cant/wont even be prepared to do the basics; block, run and carry, defend, mark. It's basics you cant teach a player. They either have the hunger or they dont.

Exactly right and anyone who defneds this by saying "that's not his job" or "he's an outside player" doesn't know footy.

Are Carlton still interested?

Salam has shown more in 10 minutes than 80 minutes from Howe and Watts. Can we just copy watts and howe and go ctrl x but never paste them again? They dont deserve to be in this team

I want Howe back in the forward line.
 

How quickly people forget Watts hasn't gotten over his debut game.

Need I remind you that this is ANZAC round. I think if our fathers and grandfathers can serve in battle and come back to tell the tale, Jack Watts can get over the "indignancy" of being given the opportunity to participate in the Queens Birthday game at the age of 18.

He needs to get over it. He has a choice, start fresh now with a new mindset, or sit back in his chair at 40 knowing he wasted a ton of potentual but will forever be a forgotten AFL player, and a disgrace at that! Perceive this as unfair, then start watching him when one on one.


Watts and Howe's lake of defensive pressure probably cost us 3 goals. Evans and Nicholson would have resulted in a closer result. This said I thinm Roos will be able to get Watts and Howe performing.

This crap about Watts being mistreated needs to end. If that's the biggest concern is his life he's doing alright, it was nearly five years ago.

Need I remind you I posted this amongst others earlier in the week. It was having a go at those that still defend him. If you can be bothered read pages 3&4 of this thread.

If Roos does not send a Watts back to Casey, then I will seriously consider not bothering to front up in front of the tele next weekend.

we must get ANY who will not work for the team, OUT of this side; or our good kids like JK-H & Salem will learn their lazy habits. this is how hard workers give up. when more senior players just sandbag & bludge.

Watts2Casey.

"A good Brighton Grammar Footballer" on his epitaph. I rated him for so long; but when intensity and workrate is VAFA level, Roos has no choice. He doesn't even take them on, with the predictable get ball, stop and check to give off at the back. Guess what, not even a shepherd after the handball.

Casey shouldn't even be a week either.


Picked up the ball beautifully one handed in the last Q and then stopped pannicked and gave a dodgy handball to a team mate under pressure.

Why did he just not keep running???

Edited by why you little

Watts and I think it was Howe coped a spray from Roos and what ever he was saying to them when he finished he wasn't impressed.

Will be interesting to c if he is in the team next week against the cows.

VAFA, I've seen more efforts from under 14's.

I cannot believe how Watts manages to convince himself he doesn't need to chase or to tackle with any ferocity? theres nowhere to hide, so how does he tell himself he OK as is.

Jack the easiest thing in footy is to bust a gut chasing with full throttle. running down your opponent. even greyhounds are smart enough to workout its the thing to do.

Exactly, take the game on. His has pace on his side.

Watts must go back to Casey. No intensity. No will to contest.

Again he is a basketballer.

Don't start hanging it on basketballers sons.

There is plenty of intensity in basketball.


I found where Watts was sitting to watch the Easter Monday game.

10/10

Laughed hard

 

I watched Jack amble around the ground tonight with no intent or desire to enter the contest.

I've come to the conclusion he is incapable of changing and no matter how many weeks he spends at Casey it won't be enough, he is simply not up to the task.

I doubt any other club would want him so we won't even get a trade for him and he will probably have to serve his time out at Casey. He is as soft as any footballer I've ever seen, if he watches the replay of tonight's game, he will be embarrassed by his lack of effort.

Lazy footballer.

All I have herd about is his record breaking sprint at the draft combined but we never see him use it.

He has the skills to be a player like Travis Johnston if he actually tried.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.
