The footy classified show tonight with Mathew Loyd bagged Jack Watts saying he has been " gifted 100 games of AFL Football " No work effort not hard and desperate . Garry Lyon says he has no excuses anymore .

Anyone want to comment on their comments ??

 

I agree. He should be at his peak now but he still looks to be developing....how many of his 200 game career will he spend developing.

Hopefully not as many as Sylvia

 

Time is running out for him I feel. Even his most staunch supporters, such as myself, grow weary of his lack of development or inspiring performances every 6-10 games which invoke feelings of hope that he may just turn into some sort of good player.

Sadly the clock now ticks for Jack.

Another Jack Watts thread. Oh dear...

Actually I'm not interested so much about Jack Watts but more about what these two said , we are all aware by now where Jack Watts is at if not then we have Rocks in our heads.

My questions is are they right to say what they said or aren't they? Gifted 100 Games ???? No excuses now ??? The thread is about these two more then Jack and there ability to shoot from the sideline . And are their comments more damaging to Watts improvement, or are they more damaging to Watts bringing him down

I didn't want to turn it into a Jack Watts Thread per say so I apologize if it turns out this way :(

What the hell else did you expect it to be???
 

Lloydy finished by saying he's stayed in the team while having bad form due to a lack of depth.

He also acknowledge new players like Brayshaw and Vandenberg who are earning there spots.

I Agree with what he was saying tonight but it's nothing we don't already know


100 games in, and while he has a position on the team, he still doesn't have a position on the field. He's had very limited success as a defender/onballer/utility. Wish he'd just be given the keys as a lead up forward.

Is it too soon to invoke Godwin's Law?

Spot on, kid has talent, but he just isn't hungry,

Big difference between wanting to succeed and refusing to fail.

Indeed no, t_u, but seeing as it's happened...

"Gifted 100 games of AFL football": Is there anyone on here who could compile a list of all the current players in the AFL with 100-ish games, so we can make our own assessments where JW might be in the present-receiving queue?

Here is a list of players I compiled that are due to, or have already reached their 100 game milestone this season. Watts is amongst some interesting company (also excuse the typos, it'a late and I typed the list in the note section of my phone):

Sam Jacobs

Taylor walker

Pearce Hanley

Matthew Leunberger

Jack Watts

Andrejs Everitt

Nathan Brown

Ben Reid

Dyson Heppell

Jake Melksham

Trent Mckenzie

Dylan Addison

Rhys Palmer

Tom Scully

Hamish Harlett

Jackson Trengove

Mitch Brown

Jack Darling

Andrew Gaff

Luke Shuey

He's certainly not in the top half of that list. I think looking at that he should be ashamed of himself.

When I saw the thread title, I thought it was about show bags based on a Jack Watts theme ... :blink:

Andrejs Everitt is a pretty good comparison, he's flirted with good form but remained an all-round average footballer. Only he's already gone through the Dogs and the Swans.

Leuenberger and Palmer have been highly touted but failed to deliver for years. Mckenzie hasn't really developed like the rest. M.Brown and Addison haven't reached any heights. The rest on the list are a decent bunch of players.


Thanks for reminding me that channel 9 have two horrendous footy programs.

I bag Watts alot.

But this is a very stupid thread. We all know the truth. No need to start a new thread but..

Fmd

 

I suggested trading Watts years ago n got shut down for it. If we had it could've been a master stroke.

That said we MUST trade him this year as its his 7th year and will be our last chance to trade him out before he becomes a free agent.

He's certainly not in the top half of that list. I think looking at that he should be ashamed of himself.

Not sure if serious or keyboard warrior...

Anyway, all these threads aimed at JW are simply becoming pathetic.

Too many posters with sad, lonely little lives who get a kick out of constantly berating a player. Clap clap.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
