WATTS, SHORT CIRCUITING OR NOT?

[dee-luded 2,959]

Since you need someone to draw you a diagram...

No one is happy with Watts' performance, least of all me.

But it has become a bloodsport for stupid people who are bored during the match, hurling abuse whenever they see him on the field, regardless of whether he is at fault for something or not.

Irrespective of his performance, that crowd behaviour is not warranted, it is classless, and it is for the bottom feeders.

machsy you've got it arz about.

the bottom feeders are the ones like those who tangle battling people up in contracts for credit; credit they have no idea what they're getting into. like a big TV advertising Electrical & Homewares store. ripping people off. bottom feeding.

back to you harvey, er machsy.

[Chook 15,012]

Hahahhaha oh dear.

Any money you're one of them.

Nah. I save my abuse for demonland. I'd never do it face to face, but unlike you I understand those who do.

Thats the good thing about football it's a good chance for people especially "classy" people to be as you say a "bogan" for 2 hours.

As if any of us could ever believe that you could be classy

[Machsy 2,858]

Got voted worst on ground on 3MMM last night....

Probably because he was.

Still doesn't deserve the reaction he received.

We as supporters deserve and should demand better from out fellow supporters.

westhoff has been an absolute gun since his debut season - when he was 21.

if he was in victoria, he'd be considered a 'superstar', for want of a better term. he's not of course, but watts isn't a speck of grey on the hoff's beard by comparison.

What?! Westhoff has copped an inordinate amount of criticism for years.

He only found a semblance of toughness and consistency under Hinkley last season, and even that dropped off after a while.

Don't make up carp.

Spot on, but I have friends who are and they love going to the footy to have a beer and yell abuse, after all it is footy not badminton. Edited April 27, 2014 by J VINEY FAN

Sorry mate, but even if your friends come from the top end of town, they sound like they aren't classy.

I don't think you understand the term.

I went to a public school.

I've got bugger all money in the bank at the moment.

I live in a crappy little weatherboard that doesn't have much life left in it.

None of that precludes me from being classy. Nor classless.

Good for you, but when Watts puts out a performance like that for the second week in a row, you can understand why people go from being classy to a s s holes.

$cully got completely pantsed yesterday as well.

Jeebers we picked them. All for a $500,000 fine.

Good on ya Cam....

To be fair he was on Ablett and did well on him in the first half.

That's an expensive tagger.

whod ever have thought that a thread or discussion about Watts would end up heading into the fertilizer siding ??

but given his state of play....probably apt

[DeeZee 7,378]

Ive always been a huge Watts supporter, but even i have to admit he is running out of time .

[Deez 298]

watts was particularly frustrating. I was surprised nev got the sub. I know his possession count was low and he got caught out a few times, but at least he was giving his all, and applying a load of pressure. nevs tackle count isn't indicative of his defensive efforts. watts on the other hand 'corralled' the sydney players. he ran around in S bends when he should've been manning up and chasing hard, not trotting. Even if his role was to be a loose man filling gaps, do it properly, take a leaf out of pedersens book. (never thought id say that)

[Bitter but optimistic 22,237]

Where did the "class" discussion come from?

I've got "class" but I don't have to brag about it - it's apparent.

its apparent Bbo by your head dress, but whats goin on with your blush? I hadn't noticed its rich hue before.

perhaps we can organise a swap, or a 3 way deal?

[SaberFang 7,151]

Nobody's going to want him, except for a third rounder if we're lucky.

He's basically mocked and laughed at by opposition players on the field.

He deserves it. He looks as though he is disinterested.

Will continue to cop it from me until he really runs his guts out.

When did it drop off, exactly? Westhoff is an undisputed gun.

Enjoyed your lecture on "class". Coming from one of the biggest snipers on this site. Ben-Hur lite, and a lot less entertaining.

In the real word, people shout at the footy.

In the real world, people give players an earful at the footy.

Supporters telling Watts that he needs to lift his game is not a cause for you to get on your high horse. Again.

While i agree with the fact that some in the crowd are slagging off at him even when he's doing something right, he kills off any chance of that not happening by being one of the poorest defensive/effort players on the field far too often.

On the second part, you seriously haven't attended enough matches, or maybe you have but it's been in a reserved seating "Redlegs" area or something, if you think there will be a time when there isn't bad behavior (which for others might appear to be normal footy crowd nonsense) or, in your words, "bottom feeders" getting their jollies at the expense of other supporters, players or umpires. It's been happening at the footy since the day dot. Don't stress so much about 'em. Just enjoy the match or i can guarantee you'll have very little hair left at the end of this season.

[CityDee 738]

Its a terrible thing being bereft of confidence and having your supporters not supporting.

Jack needs to get back to basics and he needs our support . But each to there own .

I reckon he could turn it around with 5 minutes of footy to get himself going.

[Frosty Demon 153]

He might have class Ron but he doesn't get the ball. He is a fair weather footballer. He needs to be left up forward and let the men get the ball to him otherwise bye bye.

[McQueen 17,864]

Or we persevere, knowing that he has all of the skills and hoping that with time and peer support he learns how to get more involved, on a consistent basis. Roos, Stone and Matthews can only do so much.. Jones and Cross are Watts' biggest on-field mentors in the hope of him turning things around.
