Jack Watts on Jason Horne-Francis

Featured Replies

 

What type of swimwear is Jack wearing??

Maybe they are too tight!

Maybe he comes to the Dees?!

 

Although his step-father Fabian played one game for us, I doubt he'll go anywhere but Adelaide (the city).

Would we be as stupid as to offer the Weed plus a third round pick in the 2025 draft? 


They miss-placed you number dee-tox. You'd be far more interesting :-)

Interesting that Jack is doing dial-a-quote for the Hun these days. 

Not really. The Herald Sun is the worst paper in Australia.

It's a headline chasing tabloid and a glorified picture book.

 

He’s got a bit to say today does Wattsy, can he come back and do a bit of 2017 style rucking.

North don't look like turning things around.

Insert a couple of paragraphs about the sheer variety of ways they are a mess.

Meanwhile, Horne-Francis is copping grief from all directions while under all kinds of unreasonable expectations at a club where every reputable leader is on the brink of retirement.

He's in serious danger of getting the full Jack Trengove experience.

No point waiting six more years to then limp home to Adelaide.

Like an ex mrs/mr saying they should have cut you after the first night isn’t it

Trengoves career was tragic in some respects. On the other hand he was a captain and was much loved by fans and team mates alike 

A lot of people digging into Jack. Haven't read the article but I think when Jack was drafted our club was a shambles. He went through multiple years of an unstable administration that lead to changing in coaches and his career only started to turn around when Roos came on board. I don't think he is being harsh on the club for critising how bad we were during his formative afl years. He clearly had the talent, but we didn't have the structure for him to succeed. That is partly on him, but a lot on us. As a club failed him. 

I think if he went to a club that had its [censored] sorted his career would be much different. I don't think Trac would be the same player he is today if he went through the club at the same time Watts did. 

I respect Watts because he truly loved the club. He believed in our goals and bought into the club. He was pushed out because of the bad habits that probably had a lot to do with where we were at the time. You could tell he was hurt by being pushed out and his heart has always lied with the club. 

A bit different to JHF who is talking about leaving already one year in. I really do feel for North and their supporters as it feels like we were probably in a similar situation. 


 Fair call,  Watts would know what the kid's going through more than any-one.
I actually felt pity for kids drafted to us in the dark days.
They we're always gonna be behind the 8ball with our amateur operation.

I can see where Jack is coming from. I don't think we have had so much scrutiny on a number 1 pick since jack. 

You would be shattered if he chose to leave to go back to SA next year , I know he's family and mates are there but I reckon he'd be more scrutinised in a  2 team town. It also doesn't help when you are not winning.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
