Jack Watts in 2016?

Featured Replies

 

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.

1 game. 1. Played 20 others. Pretty clearly that makes him best 22 for 2015.

And you could make the same "replacement" argument about any player. Gawn wouldn't be best 22 if we had Goldstein. We have who we have, that's the point.

Killer needs a Rocky-esque training montage where he builds some bulk, attitude and hunger!

Bring it on Jack, prove those nasty nay-sayers WRONG!

Please...

Lol! You can't include a disclaimer for your 'not best 22' statement by searching for something that simply did not exist this season. If we had Fyffe any of our midfield could have been dropped in that case.

and if your Aunty had balls she'd be your uncle.

As we all know.

I am not going to argue this, there is no point. I see it my way you see it yours. I don't want to force my opinion on you in a lame attempt to make you "See it my way".

Where do you play jack?

He is not a KPP

So HF : Petracca, Frost, Kent

FF : Garlett, Hogan, Harmes

Jack is going to have to work bloody hard to make the Senior side this year....He aint going to be gifted anymore....

Life in general really.

YEP!

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.

Accepted.

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.

I think we will have our answer as early as round 1.

Watts isnt about to change. Everyone can forget it He is not a competitor, and he just wont use his supposed blistering pace to burn someone off, and take the game on.

Whenever he has opposition company, he off loads as soon as he can, to avoid contact. Not good enough, and its ingrained.

If he is fit, and doesnt play rd1, ProDee can sit back and relax, and enjoy his safe bet.

Agree with Stu, Watts was viewed as best 22 in '15.

After all we have been hearing from the coaches, almost incessantly now, about players needing to bring their competitive side to every game, I think Jacks days are numbered.

he's a gatherer, not a hunter, sadly

lets hope he can get hungry, starving, in need of something, desperately.

We will be hoping until the day he is delisted, but that is all we have.

He will have an amazing year playing high half forward wing, 2016 will be his best by far, there were some really good signs in 2015 let himself down in the last 4 to 5 games.

Now we're betting on JW playing x amount of games?

You're all sick and should be ashamed of yourselves.....

I'm on the JW gravy train, btw. :)

We will be hoping until the day he is delisted, but that is all we have.

thats watt we begin with, & thats watt we exit with. thats all there is?

..... but in the mean time he has the options in front, presently.

so that deesire, that despairation is required for him to, as a footballer be a success, or fail.


Accepted.

Great.

So you're taking a 2 month sabbatical too ?

 

the club/fans have moved on from him. Too many years, and too many other young hopefuls in. He is no longer a focus anymore. This will either work for/against Jack.

no excuses now.

It will work against him.

Do you think with a heap more talent around him, that his third rate attack on the contest will go unnoticed by the coaching staff?

There are no trees on the MCG.......He has been seen for what he is, and its game over.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    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.

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
