If Lever were playing for the Crows, Watts would have two.

watts never played like this in red and blue!

One of the silliest comments I've seen on here.

Watts is still downhill skiing

Port are my second team.

Great to see Watts do well and Barry proving that he’s can be a league footballer.

And I hate Adelaide for obvious reasons.

Now Watts gives one off to Dougal Howard to give Port a 14 point lead. Why did we not try him as a key forward?

Interesting stat, Port have kicked 12 straight in the second half.  Must be some kind of record.

Watts is neat and tidy and is finishing off the hard work of his team.

He’s clearly a clinical finisher.

It doesn’t change the fact that when the going gets tough, he’ll go missing. He is getting very easy ball this game.

It’s a good game from him. But watch Port supporters get way too excited about it. 

Practice games guys. Relax. 

Mason cox just kicked 4 and looked like a star. 

Once defenders are getting into watts his output will decrease

So basically he did SFA for 9 years for us because he couldn’t be arsed. Great

Pretty much it. 

I am glad he is gone. I just wished we had pushed for higher compensation than pick 31

he has always had the talent, i saw it in his school days at BGS

You'll be happy with Bayley Fritsch, who has courage in the air and is just 21.

I wouldn't change a thing.

Lets look back at this in October nothing to see here JLT unlimited rotations hot conditions 1st hit out for many.

Echo this too

Didn’t watch but apparently was a sluggish game without a lot of pressure being applied. Perfect game for Watts to dominate.

i still don’t agree with the decision to trade him out as he’s approaching the peak of his career. He’ll be a very good player for Port this year.

Tha said, Fritsch is looking like he’ll be nice compensation.

Just came in after spending most of the day on my resto, flicked on Fox and watched the last 5 minutes of Port v Adel

Wattsy kicked 6 and had a couple of goal assists

Well done - I'm happy for him

Watts’ lacklustre 9 touches in JLT1 being completely disregarded. Defensive pressure from Adelaide was non-existent.

Lets see if he can sustain it in the real stuff.

Bayley has done eveerything right so far

Jack W never got out of 2nd gear. 

Someone will ask him that one day, after he retires

Is this stand alone thread worthy? It’s being discussed in the JLT non-Dees thread. 

Happy for him. Happier for Dom Barry.

 

That said, don’t give a toss about Watts does, can’t ever see him being hard enough at the ball to make a contribution like that at the pointy end of the season.

Same here. I think he’s a very good player and I am still super disappointed that the club traded him.

That said, I don’t think we’ll miss him. I just wanted to see him lift the premiership cup wearing the red and the blue. But, unlike some others here, I like the narrative around this stuff, the intangibles. It’s what gives sport its soul.

 

Good ol’ Wattsy, only kicked 6 so we can keep talking about him. Good luck to the man over there, wish him well. 

The most impressive part about todays games was the new hairdo on Darcy Moore.

Resto?

Hawthorn ran out onto the ground looking pumped, I reckon they’ll thrash Carlton. Plus no one ever won a game wearing baby blue.

Well done, Jack Watts. Good effort.
