If so my respect for Watts has gone through the roof. They were heckling and booing him all game for no apparent reason.

They had him on the Deebrief podcast (I think that's what it is called) and said their cheersquad wasn't booing him, yeah right

the ponsford stand spent a lot of time booing during the game. any demon kicking a set shot at that end got booed mercilessly. in fact the only time a filth supporter actually sounds vaguely coherent is when he boos

Get [censored] Collingwood and eat a bag of dicks Joffa!

I've watched the replay again and again.  The best bit is the roar before the ball even goes through.  It started with those behind him (of which luckly I was one) who could see it was gun barrel straight (in memory of my favourite all time commentator) from the moment he kicked it and the rest of the crowd just joined in as one. That joyous roar will live with me for ages. Those who bother to read my posts know I'm a Jack fan and have stood up for him here for a long time.  I was just proud of the boy.

And while I've no problem with Jack giving them the bird I think blowing them a kiss would have been better, it would have pizzed them off even more.

Brilliant meme Ted, but having said that I really like Jeremy Howe.

Oh and Dazzle, a bit of pot calling kettle black in your post lad.  Just saying.

Yeah, it's gold. I also love the paper plane at Argentina v Brasil the other night + Titanic. Haha, hilarious.

This thread just gets better and better.

Collingwood cheer squad were confused because they couldn't figure out which racist Watts was pointing out to security.

I just noticed in the first frame of the video how Jones, Bugg and Jeffy were all loose in the forward fifty, glad Watts got the goal though. May the filth suffer from the Watts curse from this day forward.

Titanic was a movie about class moreso than icebergs. It's fitting that Jack has taken on the transformative Jack Dawson role from his privileged private-school essence past. Looked like a serious, scruffy footballer on the weekend. Max and Jeffie must have initiated Jackie-boy into the ancient gnostic wisdom of the beard-mojo.

I think his next act after the goal was equally impressive, rushing in to Collingwood's goal to spoil what would have been a goal. Two game winning acts in minutes, great work Jack,  f...  you Collingwood supporters.

I thought it was time to revisit an old chestnut.

Never a great comparison IMO due to their positional differences. However Natanui averaging under 2 marks a game as a ruckman is pretty damning.

Watt's hit out for the Garlett to Hannan goal was pretty damn impressive. Can ruck!

How about comparing Jack career with current year.

I hated the sight of Joffa nodding and grinning like a fool when the Pies got their 2nd last goal, no doubt thinking, " one more will do it ".  Well, suffer goose. One more didn't do it. 

Provided he plays Sunday and next week, he's on track to play his 150th against Sydney on Friday night at the MCG. 

Dont want to look too far ahead and milestone games often tend to backfire but this bloke does deserve a bit more glory. 

He has been really durable. Has played 150 games out of a possible 170 odd. 

He has another 5-6 good years ahead of him. Looking forward to seeing his next 100.

I tried to keep an eye on it while it was happening but it was a bit hard from the top level on the wing.

To me it simply looked like he was standing there with a smile on his face and his arms raised. Maybe index fingers pointed straight up. Buggy then joined him too to celebrate. Then the crowd through some bottles at him and security moved in.

Do you really think Watts would flip them the bird? Buggy on the other hand....

I can't believe more isn't being made about punters throwing things at players at the footy.

Thanks.  Chinese whispers, as evidenced on this thread, are never accurate..

It sounded unlikely that Watts would give them the bird.  Watts standing close to the fence with his arms raised and a big grin on his face is far more in Watts' DNA.  And if Watts really did flip the bird it's unfathomable that not one Collingwood supporter has actually said "Watts flipped the bird at us".

Thanks for clarifying.  Although I hasten to add, posters will be reciting the supposed fact that Watts gave the Collingwood cheer squad the bird post game on QB 2017 for years to come.

Was it Grinter that actually gave they bird to the entire crowd when we beat West Coast on their deck in the early 90's or late 80's?

He's played 148 according to AFL.com so that would mean the game against the eagles will be his 150th.

Wasn't there a comparison chart somewhere that said NicNat was stuck on 146?

How good would it have been if he & NicNat could have played their 150th in the same game?

It would've been nice symmetry.  Apparently they are also good mates off the field.

How have hell have Naitanui and Watts played almost the same number of games? NicNat seems to be injured a fair bit, while Watts has the permanence of a gnat.

I hope he flipped them the bird and told them their day release was up!

They are the scummiest bunch of low life losers going around. It's ok for them to hackle and abuse, including racially abuse players, on a regular basis, but they can't take a little bit of their own medicine the other way.

Have a sook and enjoy 11th spot you [censored]! 

Still stuck in a time warp of Jacks debut as a kid when their poor booing could influence his game.

They have booed him every game for the only reason as just mentioned. Lowlifes for sure.

My sources confirm it never happened by the way.
