Westhoff retires, Port decide they need an additional mature forward to partner with Dixon. 

McDonald to Port for Watts and change.

Good times.

I wonder if he's in their best twenty two

He did come 21st in their B&F in his first season after being chastened by his departure at Melbourne.

 

So I guess its a yes...

You may well be right. Few players have ever really come back from an injury of that nature.

 

Read a quote from Hinkley that Watts has only recently felt comfortable with his body after the leg injury.

Ironically, Pies this week and the last time we beat them was when Watts sunk them with that goal at the end.

What is the irony?

We kick the ball so poorly going inside 50.

Jack Watts is a very good kick of the footy.

Do you see where I’m going with this?

we were a bad kicking team with Watts in red and blue.

Love that description

Ironically i feel like Watts has the attributes to really add to a team like Port. they've got the quality to cover his deficiencies and i can see him playing a role come finals

Yeah he is a bad player.  No idea how hes lasted 11 seasons in the AFL.

Pick 1 has some weird mystique about it, no matter how much you suck clubs will keep giving you chances.

Have another drink.


Jack was a very good Demon and should be remembered.  Always welcome back.  152 games. 9 years. 

He is still great mates with most of the players and always was the most generous bloke with supporters and our young kids at footy clinics and functions.

The fairy tale goes like this;  Jack gets recalled to the seniors during Ports finals campaign because of injuries to key forwards. Jack plays in GF and kicks 5 goals including the winning goal after the final siren 55 metres out on the boundary line............against us!

But then there’s a score review. Touched. Decision on the scoreboard. Behind. Dees get up by 1 point.

Footywire seems to think Watts (and Lynden Dunn) must no longer be playing. In the list of "Most Games, No Finals" both appear in the column of all players, past and present whereas their names are missing from the column showing current day players. Jack has played 174 and Dunn 196 games without a final. Personally, I'd like to think that's all the fault of Port Adelaide and Collingwood respectively.

(The only current Melbourne player on the list is Steven May on 140. I'm not sure whether this number includes yesterday's game, or, indeed, any of this season).

This.

Regardless of what people think, I hope Watts is welcomed back to the club once his career is over. 150 games in red and blue is no easy feat.


I fear for his future and don't know if it will last beyond 2 more years tops. Those injuries are very tough to get back from.

Great character and one of the good people of football. The world would be a better place if more people had the character of Jack Watts. Always welcome back at MFC once it's all said and done. Should never figure in worst no.1 pick discussions among AFL fans, long long way from that.

Umpire 31 rules that Watts played on while out of bounds in the first application of that rule in 5 seasons

You can't get away with only being a good kick though. 22 guys need to defend and win contests before you get that kick. 

It's why Bennell can't hold his spot in our side. For all the good things he can do with ball in hand, the rest of the team has to carry him defensively.

Watts was more than 'just a good kick'. Go and watch some of the highlights, especially under Roos.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
