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.

    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.

    oh no! he's got an opinion :o

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
