2016 will be a breakout year for...

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,909]

I went for Frost although I qualified it at the time by saying it probably wouldn't be him. So I don't deserve any credit for my gutless approach.

In hindsight, though, a better call would have been the medical and fitness staff. They've really nailed it this year.

Mitch White.

I'm tipping he will play at least 15 games this year.

Fail.

I thought when you made a crap call on Demonland, you were supposed to go back and edit it as if it never happened? What's this "admitting you got it wrong and having a bit of a laugh about it" business?

I'd have too many things to edit, although I still think Valenti would have been a gun if we gave him a proper chance.

Hate to make this about Jack Watts but...

All the training reports in the second half of last season had him doing boxing, wrestling etc... With specialist coaches, away from the main group. I though it worked and towards the end of the season his 1 on 1 competitive work improved from hopeless to o.k. It will never be his strength.

i have Jack Watts and Kent as the real break outs this year.

Ok. But nothing like the bloke who picked Hunt.

I'm a Watts lover, but bloody hell he is making it hard for me to continually defend him.

If he were to remain in the team this week, which I personnaly don't think he or Howe should, I would have him play 30-40% of the game in the ruck.He's got a leap, he's got height, he's got the smart "touch" where he can put the ball to the advantage of a teammate.

Will it open him up for potential injury? No, I don't believe so, and even if you do, what's the worst that can happen in a ruck contest that couldn't happen in any other contest around a ground?

Playing ruck demands physical contact, there's nowhere to hide, you have to hit bodies and wrestle, and most importantly for Jack, your body will get hit and you will be wrestled against.

If Cam Pederson can prove to be an effective 2nd ruck, then I'm sure Watts can. I know who I rate higher out of those two, although the gap is fast diminishing.

Merriment aside,  he needs to kick 40 goals in 2016.

It's his 8th year and last in contract, it's literally now or never. 

The talent is there, but will the mind deliver ?

It's a shame his year is now classed as a failure with only 38 goals. Guess he'll never make it.

Back on the trading block, IF any club is interested hey ProDee?

I reckon Benny would be on the whole pleased with Jack's year.

How'd your man Chris Dawes go this year Ginger?

I'll be happy when we get a back up ruck so Watts can stay forward and kick 50.
