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.

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?

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
