He's a delicate cream but we don't even have a cake, best thing for both parties is a trade. Adios

    If he hasn't learned by now that body contact won't kill him and he has to keep his feet I don't think he will. Would make a standout state league/ammo player but you need more than talent to make it in the pros - you need the mentality and he does not have it.

    you need the killer instinct, to have the nasty edge to do what it takes. jack is just too nice a boy.

    The current voting is 87 votes for Keep, 87 votes for Trade.

    Only Watts could produce a perfect 50/50 split.

    People are bagging Frawley for his pathetic attack on the ball in the 2nd half of the season saying he has 'checked out'.

    Its a cancer in a team and causes others to say 'why should I be bothered chasing when my team mates don't' blah blah.

    Watts has been doing the same (but for different reasons). heart/desire/effort/intent/intensity - take your pick.

    He has to go.

    Amazed at how many posters dont understand cancer that infiltrates a team,And how hard it is to get rid of.

    Dont forget JW played a good quarter one day this year.Maybe it will reproduce itself next year.

    PR,im sure will cut out the cancer with no emotion whatsoever.If not we are rooted.

    I should have included another choice in the original question.

    Keep , unless a really good trade is offered

    That is ..might as well keep him unless something just too tempting is placed on the table.

    I dont expect any to do so , but I'll add it and if any want to change their vote they can.Its still a "keep'" just with a rider :)

    so you haven't really got the results you wanted? So you'd like to change the poll so you do...lol... Maybe your way of thinking is just not the way the majority here think...

    tatu, i doubt bb is trying to manipulate the poll, just trying to give reasonable options

    don't think he's too fussed whether others disagree with him or not

    youre an angry little man arent you

    DC summed it up well.

    If you were capable youd understand it was simply a choice not offered where as it ought to hace been I.e correcting an error.

    It wasn't about suggesting or imposing a view more about seeing what the board thought.

    Watts has always divided supporters and this bears it out. Really as simple as that.

    he has been pushing hard for a jack watts trade, for a while now... Then he made this poll, where the result opposes his view and now he'd like add new options?

    I suppose it could be merely a coincidence...lol...

    If Jack has a good game tonight, opinion will sway again. If he has a poor game, more people will rule a line through him.

    People change their view on Watts like no other player. The "swinging vote" is probably sitting at about 40% plus (not on this poll, but on how he is viewed generally)

    Many of us are torn between his potential and his actual output. He gets a lot more leeway because he was the no.1 pick and because Roos has tried to take the pressure off him (previously)

    Also, he's one of the best "kick to position" players on the list amongst a sea of poor disposers of the ball. The other important aspect is what we would get for him in a trade. We're almost compelled to keep him.

    It certainly does Macca. Hence a poll on him as opposed many an other player.

    Strangely and probably to a supporter all could not want more than Watts to play a screamer. It is after all about team success not individuals per se.

    I was going to suggest we trade Watts to the Saints for a pack of Skittles and a can of Coke but I realise now that's way overs

    maybe a skittle?

  • Quote

    should have been dropped after the Swans game 4 months ago

    Opposition players just laugh at him, he is a joke. Least respected player in the AFL

  • Quote

    So far short of a decent AFL footballer. Trading him isn't the answer to all our woes, but if we can get a pick in the early second round for him it is a step in right direction.

    I agree. I don't think Watts will make it.

    He is slow off the mark. For a guy who tested well in the draft camp - he has shown very little of most attributes he excelled in.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
