He will be the nicest guy not picked for their Grand Final side.

OF course he would say that,  Adam terloar said Collingwood had a better younger list then Richmond, look how that turned out. The way things have gone in the last 2 season's gold coast could be closer 

Great for trenners he has another shot at AFL. Nice synergy, given what he and Watts has gone through together.

Jack trengrove will only play 1 maybe 2 games for port.

Big words from one of the softest players of the modern era.

Pretty much what you would expect him to say, although I did find the very first quote interesting.

"You know who I think is (closer to a premiership), that's why I'm here"

Not the first part, more the second part. Wattsy, I think we all no the reason you aren't at Melbourne, and very little of it was your own doing.

 

Maybe a more pertinent question is:  "are Melbourne closer to a Flag without Watts?"

....i hope he doesnt.

So he left to win a flag with Port? IIrc he was dragged out kicking & screaming. 

I won't believe that we're close to a flag until we're 15 goals up in the last two minutes of the Grand Final. Even then, I'll have my doubts.

On moving to Port: “The best decision I’ve made.” 

Doesn’t he mean “The best decision made for me”?

I think he meant "compared to choosing Geelong"

"Where else can I get away with being a flakey outsider with limited application to my chosen profession? Outside of moving into the public service downhill skiing Port is the perfect opportunity to while away the rest of my career"

The better question would be "why aren't Melbourne closer to a flag Jack?" "What did you do to move them closer?"

Asking for a Viney run thru Jacky boy???

Oh, I forgot, you won't be anywhere near any action.

 

Hopefully that piece of Fish and Chip wrapper will be filed away for when the 2 teams meet. 

a couple of Jack Watts teeth embedded into the adelaide oval turf, 

nothing serious

A bold call for a team that just won 2 out of 11 games against the top 9 sides of the league, but feasted 6 times on Gold Coast, Brisbane and Collingwood.

Never liked him.

Plays for Port, like him less.

 

Lol he's not wrong. We haven't made finals for over a decade. 

Of course he was going to say that, hes a power player now.  I always liked Jack Watts, wish him all the best, Jack is the kind of Cream you need in a team, that may bob up from time to time to do something special, consistency will always be his problem.

If things go south for Port this year, it will be very interesting to see Kochy implode.

Jack Watts the footballer has often made me want to puke, but the only story here would have been if he'd said the opposite.

Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. Will fit right in at Port.

Whilst as a Dee supporter, I loved him as a player. However, his '...best decision I've made...' statement really might well read: 'The only decision I had left.' It is a pity.
