Would make a great figure skater, except he falls over too much

 

Embarrassed by Jamie Bennell as a forward

Totally ineffectual as a loose man in the backline

Runs around Lycett with a glimpse of his pace and hits a target lace out.

A little tease of the so called brilliance sprinkled in with so much crap.

I really wish he just played flat out with 110% inensity. Whatever happened from then on I could live with. But I can't live with anymore half baked efforts.

I want to change my vote.

Having seen him get bumped off it so easily by Bennell, it's fair to say he just hasn't got it.

I used to think it was just a matter of time before the club forced him to do extra tackling sessions and strength sessions, but either they can't get him to do it or he just doesn't want to do it.

Carlton is still keen on him - Mick Malthouse was his mentor two years ago - and I think we can still get their second pick (25 approx) for him.

It's more a case that you can't have a guy who is one of the club's two most well-known players influence the image of the whole team.

Our club is laughed at because of him.

Paul Roos has tried all year to show him support and I'm sure he will one more time next week, but after that he just has to let him go.

Just like we all do.

He's a nice bloke, super talent but he just doesn't have a nasty competitive streak that all footballers must have to succeed.

I still wish that he'd show all the knockers what he can do, but I'm afraid it's just a wish of mine like winning the lottery.

At some point we all need a reality check.

 

The few occasions he was being beaten one on one against bennell were really poor. I think he actually has no confidence in himself in those situations and dreads it more about losing the contest again rather than being soft. It's all psychological with Watts. The attention he recieves from his own supporters and outside of the club is unprecedented.

IMO he is as gone as Frawley. It really can't be any fun being Jack

Watts. The best possible outcome for both parties is that he leaves. It's just beyond repair in my eyes, and if one of grimes of trengove is traded it will be the nail in the coffin of the most spectacular era of poor drafting and development.


should have been dropped after the Swans game 4 months ago

Exactly and not just for a week or two. He needed to be told you're going back for 6-8 weeks and this is what you have to work on. I know it's hard with such a lack of depth but it would have been the best thing for his development. He was being outmarked in 1-1 by Prestia and now Bennell showed him up, where is his competitive desire or pride?

See ya jack.

Never have I seen a player in his 6th year of football look soo timid and scared of the contest.

Time to cut loose with him. Must trade him.

The experiment hasn't worked.

Has anyone seen a 196cm footballer spend so much time falling over in the contest or near it?

Over and over again we see smaller opponents holding their feet and running away with the ball while JW lies on the ground. His team mates must be disgusted with the effort. Compare him to Bail and Jetta who don't have 10% of his talent but 100% more effort.

Very sad. Forget development we stuffed up big time here.

i'd settle for any intensity >0%

Watts is poison

Imagine being a teammate and going into battle with him

First thing you learn when you go up to the senoirs.

WHEN ITS YOUR TURN TO GO,YOU GO.

Unfortunately this bloke cant go,ive talked to so many people about this and their opinion is he wouldnt get a game at our local level.He just aint got the nuts for the job.

Interesting ,somebody on this site mentioned basketball and after watching him closely and this is no derogatory pitch,he looks like hes playing BBall ,always on the outside for the outlet pass,he just cant play with other people in his 1 metre zone.

i'd settle for any intensity >0%

no daisy, we can't settle for less than 100% Effort from anyone; this is what Melbourne teams have been dishing up since the Spirit of Smithy was exorcised.

Barass/Jordan reignited the flame, & Swoop poured in accelerant. apart from that time, its been all downhill skiing & bolognese in the chalets over winters past.


My 7 year old grandson just got a tackle buddy for his birthday, just blow it up and fill the bottom with water and your good to go. You think we can chip in and buy one for Jack.

he's playing Point Guard dishing off, but won't run hard.

mixed beach volleyball for jack, & he could make the Oly Impics with his skills.

HaHaHa he'd try to wrestle it to the ground & cuddle it. trouble is the tackle buddy would take jack down first.

Before yesterday's game I was a keeper, this comes even after his efforts v- GWS.

Now I don't care and would be happy for him to be traded.

The way he plays sums up the MFC and is miles away from new comers Vince and Cross who give it everything. It's time Jack and the MFC part ways, it's honestly the best for both.

I hope that another team still feels he has untapped the potential.

Be lucky to get a 2nd rounder for Jackie. Id take it.

What a sad and sorry juncture this has come to.

There can be no doubt surely now that his future ( and I wish him luck ) is simply not with us.


I can't stand it anymore, Jack I give in, you win, do it your way... good luck on your travels.

heres a tempo'd tribute for you genius son

I have always stuck up for watts and been a fan but his efforts against Jamie bennell were embarrassing. If he couldn't assert himself on the contest and beast bennell who he has 17cm & 15kg on then god help him

 

I think I saw his v joiner at one stage last night.

Wrong,it was the shadow of his v joiner you saw.

I think pederson picked it up at one stage and tried to throw it off the ground.

Yep, losing one on ones to Jamie Bennel. How low can you go.

Let's cut ties so we can at least look like we're trying to restore credibility to this club.

  • 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.

    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.
