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.


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

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.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
