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

I actually agree with you to a certain extent. He's a super smart player and actually wins more contests than he's given credit for.

He was certainly not consistent in his willingness to defend though. That said, I don't want to overstate this because I think the criticism of him over the years has been nothing short of ridiculous.

Speaking of duds we have drafted with pick 1,  Tom Sc@#ly is averaging a pathetic 12 possessions a game this season for Hawthorn.

I met his Dad at a port game at the G a couple of years ago. He was sitting behind me the whole game. Lovely bloke as was his family that were with him. Before leaving I said to his Dad, that I would never wish any harm on Jack, he's copped way more than he ever should have in terms of criticism and was badly managed earlier on and that I hope he does well. And I meant every word of it. 

I hope he gets on the park again

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!

I don't think jack has ever kicked 5 in a home and away match. 4 is his highest. He did kick 6 in a preseason game for port once.

Tom can't run 20 km in a game anymore, that was his 1 wood, endurance is all that he ever had, without that he's an amateur.

I think he is in a nutshell the paradigm for the decline of Hawthorn. Instead of investing in kids, they paid for perceived talent. Many of them have been has-beens for a while now, Scullduggery the leading example.

Are you sure you spelled that correctly? I thought it was a b, not a d.

The Hawks outsmarted themselves, thought they were getting a steal for Scully, turns out pick 60 odd was overs for tom
