I was always told tell the truth, sometimes people won't like what they hear, but if they are true to themselves they will respect you for it. 

 

my mentor told me that sometimes people get the truth confused with opinion.

Very easy to mistake opinion for truth.  A mistake many people make, especially here on DL.

If he comes good, forget about Jarrah being the biggest comeback ever.

Kicked 10 from 16 shots. That's a pretty reasonable percentage. But don't let using the full stat ruin your shallow analysis.

Comes down to who's opinion you respect.

Does Watts respect Roo's??

You can tell the truth a number of ways (manners), this doesn't necessarily confirm or mean my mentors got it wrong.

Was also third at the club for goal assists.

I actually think that's his biggest asset, and why I think he is the perfect player to slot in with Hogan and Garlett as a full time forward.

also spent more time through the midfield, than up forward and rarely ever deep forward rather a high leading half forward.

Number of goals is irrelevant to his ability to kick the football, Gartlett kicked 40 but i wouldnt want him taking a set shot to win the game.

Are you implying he doesn't? On second thoughts i've got no idea what you are saying.

IMO, if our list is strong enough and deep enough for us to delist Jack Watts at the end of next season, then we are serious premiership contenders for 2017.

his point is that's how much we would need to have improved for Watts to become no longer required

in other words it isn't going to happen

I also agree re goal assist. He is an invaluable asset as a high half forward delivering the ball lace out to petracca, hogan and garlett. 

Watts is the best in the team at you 20-40 meter passes

Many argue Roos isn't a match day coach and lack game plan mouse, but is the master of team building and empowering the players. Watts either doesn't understand what is being asked of him (quick, someone ask me how I know what Roos is asking of him) or can't bring himself to do it. Mentally weak and needs to go.

Sorry, still not sure what you are saying. So many words. So little clarity. 

A query though. Watts played 20 games last year. Don't you think it is safe to assume the coach would not select a player who didn't understand what is being asked of him?

In fact if Roos has made one thing clear is that players will not get selected if they are not performing their role and doing what they told, that's to say a player better understand what is being asked of him (and carry out that instruction) or he won't be selected. So the only logical conclusion is that Watts understood clearly what was asked of him. Or perhaps you have another 'truth'?

Yes and no, some AFL coaches during a coaches clinic a few years back told TAC coaches to not be so hard on their players, to respect each players feelings, to get players to rate their own performances after a game, to tell them that they didn't fail they just played a bad game. Twelve months later those same coaches said forget everything we told you last year.

Not for me BA. I'd rather not gamble over matters such as this.
