Jack Watts in 2016?

Featured Replies

Watts will start rd one 2016 because Weideman will need 6-10 games in the 2nds,Dawes may be on the outer as Pedersen could edge him out. Don't be surprised to see Jack play as a ruck-rover,the position is a coinfidence booster.People can blame Jack for not living up to expectations but at the end of the day Jack is responsible for his outcome.

 

Would you like to have a bet on that?

I'll wager he will play more than 10 games and if i lose will take a 2 month sabbatical form Demonland. If he plays more than 10 you change your avatar for two months to a pic of Wattsy of my choosing.

How about it are we on?

Done.

EDIT: to be fair, I should have his avatar the entire summer. You taking months off means I should at least have a 6 month avatar.

Game on. Best of luck. I hope he doesn't get injured.

As for the avatar i don't mind if you have 6 moths in your avatar as long as the head of each is a smiling jack watts.


Well i wasn't offering you the bet but i'll take it none the less. Go Jacky boy.

By the by technically NAB games count as proper season games weren't specified, but in the spirit of the bet we'll make it the season proper.

Crickets thus far from PD by the by

It seems I've misread this.

Just to clarify - I am backing Watts to play more than 10 games for the MFC in the season proper next year. As are you.

Accordingly, it seems the bet is you (binman) and me v. ProDee. Avatars to be selected by the winner for a 2 month period following the season.

Happy to field suggestions for ProDee's temporary avatar now.

If Pro-dee loses it will mean we will greatly regret giving up our 1st pick in 2016 draft. It would be rather valuable.

I note that this is binman's wager so it's possible that it's not workable three ways (unless ProDee accepts the bet and binman and I then agree upon an appropriate avatar for ProDee once Watts plays his 11th game in the seniors next year).

If that's not acceptable to binman and ProDee, I'll simply register my support for binman in relation to this bet.

I tell you what...

I'll change my avatar to Binman's choice for 6 months from the day he plays his 11th game (won't happen) and you can dictate my signature for the corresponding period.


I want PD to wear Watts' face, but I'd rather Watts didn't play any games. I'm so conflicted.

Going by the 2nd half of the year, no his is not best 22, and the last round proved that.

Next year is a new year, players will be judged on their commitment to pre-season training and NAB games, not on the performance from the previous year.

Is it a confidence issue with JW? Is that the only thing holding him back?

He still looks way too similar to that boy on QB.

Loved how he tried to take the game on more this year, he is so quick off the mark.

Just wish it would click for him and we see his U18 form translate to the seniors, I really do.

Excellent.

Good to have you on board the Watts train Ron.


It is reading posts like these that are going on between prodee, binman and ron that make coming here so much fun. I sometimes forget that we are all on the same side here supporting the wonderful MFC.

For the record I feel that No4 is set for a big year and will be integral to us surprising many in the industry this year.

And if Colin Sylvia has a good preseason under his belt, he'll also be part of our resurgence.

Wait, what? Being dropped for one game when you've played 20 others proves you're not best 22?

Jump on board the Jack Watts discussion :

Without wanting to get into another back and forth debate about where Jack 'Rolls Royce' Watts sits in the pecking order i would dispute both your claim he is not best 22 and your evidence.

On the evidence front i would offer the following in terms of him being best 22:

  • Roos has selected him for all but 4 or 5 of the 46 games he has been coach
  • Sure they may have shopped him around but the fact the dees did not trade him suggests they believe he is best 22 (or at the least close). If they didn't rate him at all or see him as part of the future they would have cut their losses and taken a second rounder (which they would have got). They didn't hesitate to cut Toumpas, despite getting SFA for him
  • I rate him in our top 22

We need a thread which has his game tally pinned to the top of the board.

"Watts Watch"

Something i noticed at training the other day that i haven't seen from Watts is a bit of leadership, he's really getting around the boys this year more than i've seen him do, maybe growing up a bit.

 

What happens if he plays the first 9 games and is then injured for the rest of the season?

I lose the bet, though would argue for a moral victory

Wait, what? Being dropped for one game when you've played 20 others proves you're not best 22?

Yes, it does, hence why he was not best 22 in that match. I found his form dwindled in the second half of the year, I'm sure if we had a suitable replacement he would have been dropped more often.

The bold text is the best. Being in the best 22 means being in the best 22 not being close. Jordie was named emergency many many many times, would you consider him being in the best 22 because he is at least close?

I know what you are saying, i just do not agree. Toump showed us absolutely nothing, Jack has. Maybe the FD thinks its worth more trying to get him to be consistent than try their hand at a 2nd rounder, this time around.

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
