2015 Player Review - # 4 Jack Watts

Featured Replies

I'm going to buy a new mfc jumper and put number 4 on the back.

 

Why unfortunately?

He's very damaging with the ball in his hands AND he runs to space and creates a mismatch.

Nothing wrong with that.

Because in modern AFL footy if all you can do is capitalise on uncontested footy you're as useful as a cold pie.

There's a reason he was dropped twice in his 7th year and there's a reason he finished 18th in the B&F despite playing 20 games. The coaches don't value this "damaging" game you speak of. It clearly excites you, but not them. Or me.

I have been a massive Jack Watts supporter up until last years game in Adealide when he didn't crash the pack. Luckily Hogan kicked the goal but i thought that if he doesn't get it by now he never will.

This year when the offer of the player on the membership cards came out i thought about it for a while and decided to switch to the Hulk. He's the future.

Jack unless he pulls out a blinder of a year...is a hangover of the past.

Let's agree to disagree.

Many players have forged sensational careers from being the finishers in their team.

He was dropped, I get that - but that's because he's finally been coached properly.

And, as I've stipulated before, pre Roos' era coaching team didn't excite me at all.

But you'll find that those "finishers" regularly influence games of footy.

Watts has rarely influenced any game in his 100+.

He can't have an 'influence' in all of them - he has to do his role - if he doesn't, he'll be at Casey or 'injured'

I think he's played some terrific games where he's been very steady and yes, sometimes very influential.

He's a clever footballer and will respond to his coaches in his third year.

"Can't be an influence in all of them" ?

Hahaha

Good one.

 

Jack was going well and then he created the whole Syrian refugee crisis just to remind everyone what he is capable of.

Except for the Neeld era...

Except for the Neeld era...

Neeld started out weeding the soft, boy club culture of the club.

That's why I supported him.

But, I understand why you might not get that.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
