Jack Watts will play in September.  Guaranteed. His former teammates will not. 

Goodwin on thin ice now

Not sure he is their best 22

This is true and I am honestly happy for the bloke.  He was treated like poo by Goodwin.  Did not deserve it.  I think we are missing his class on the field.  We are missing his composure and decision making.  We are missing his presence in the locker room.

Such a shame.  A more experienced coach and he'd still be a dee.  

We have a second year teacher as principal of a school.  Disaster.

The pick we got from Watts is what we used on Fritsch.

Shows how good Fritsch is already.

I’m not sure what playing in September has to do with this argument and whether or not we will.

All i am seeing is pretty much the same as he gave at our club. I’m not seeing a miracle transformation. I wish him well but the first six games away from us has not seen him find a hunger for the ball that he didnt have with us for a large percentage of his career.

I’ve moved on from Watts and am a big wrap for Fritsch, but you waited until he played his best match to post a statistical comparison.  Before today’s match, Watts had him covered in every major stat.

Move on.  Enjoy the player we have and don’t feel the need to validate him by comparing him to a Port Adelaide forward.

What an idiotic comment, liked by those who are the leaders in idiotic commentary

He’s shooting the lights out at Port....

JR, each week this thread is nearly always 'bumped' by those who get some weird joy from bagging Watts.  They set the bait then lurk for posters to come out and defend him.  Some are more open with their bait than others.  

If the trolls are ignored they will eventually have only themselves and their supporters to wallow with in spite.

[Ugottobekidding 1,242]

Be surprised if he makes it too the finals. Has very little impact. I' say Watts is at the crossroads. Does he want it or doesn't he?

[hemingway 7,633]

I'm not a fan of censorship, but really this thread should be closed down. It does no one any credit to be banging on about Jack. Just demeaning diatribe about an ex-player.   It should stop. 

We should talk about our current crop of players like Spargo and Fritsch.  Anyone but Watts.

Ernie, I don't like all the threads on Demonland, I choose to ignore the ones I don't like. Better that than censorship.

True ManDee, I guess I just get annoyed at seeing the thread pop-up all the time, and the general level of bile directed at a guy that does not deserve the hate. (in fact no-one does other than child molesters and politicians)

Other threads have been shut down

Why not this one? Or, are we pandering to the cave bound, socially inept trolls who struggle with a social contract?

I think there has been a lot of argument that Watts is who he is because of the MFC.

Or that Watts just needed to be cuddled, cajoled, coached or collaborated into brilliance.

And that his lack of intensity was some sort of football genius that was misinterpreted by mere mortals.

I agree that it these have all been debunked, and its time for this to all be put to bed.

i like Fritsch.

I started the first thread questioning his intensity before he played a senior game, and was absolutely howled down for it.  :)  Could bookend JW's Demonland career @Nasher ?
