Farewell Jack Watts

[spirit of norm smith 16,250]

Opinions are what they are.

Overall... It is an ugly saga which we would all laugh at if it was at 17 other clubs.  Not well managed by any party.  

[DSP 1,488]

He hasnt even commited to a club.

Geelong is going to the draft apparently and Sydney have confirmed they are out.

That leaves Port.

Toumpas and Watts together again at last.

I just cannot believe we are dragging this out until the last day. I expected he nominated his club monday and the deal was done by, at the latest, this morning.  Clearly we are not as willing to settle for a crap pick?? Has Watts dug his heels in? Not according to Connors? What a farcical way this whole saga has been handled.

This is the sort of snipe that really annoys me.  Whatever you think of Watts, he provided a lot more than Toumpas under a lot more scrutiny.

Maybe he isn’t going to nominate a club, and stay?  

This site will explode!  500 pages of tripe guaranteed!

Deep breaths. In .... out ..... in .... out ....

Think of a peaceful forest.

Maybe go for a long walk.

It's okay. It's going to be okay.

Connors and Watts are the ones dragging it out, not the club.

He wants to go to Geelong but the offer is better at Port.

Problem is he is priority 3 with them after Ablett and Stringer. So they need to drop first

If he stays he won't be playing at Casey.

Might be some value there.  He might even be able to teach Weids how to split the middle from 20 meters out on occasions and kick them from more than 35 meters out.  500k well spent on something the current coaching crew haven't been capable of doing.

I see both sides. I am not against Jack staying, I do not believe that his position at the club is untenable. I think Tmac and Hogan as kpfs will suit Jack's game. He struggles when playing as a kf or in the ruck. If we trade him for a pick between 20-30 I am confident Taylor can find a good young player in that range, or alternatively a swap of second rounders for a higher pick may eventuate.

They are only 'out' until they are back in

Given his dad has come out and spoken in the media, I'd say his position is now untenable.
