I think the families of those disrupted by ice addiction and ecstasy laced with lethal additives deserve our thoughts. A family affected by having a member in prison due to greed and being involved in a violent profession if convicted, is not in the same ball park.

This video of him 'jokingly' talking about buying into an ice business, on on the couch above, has been doing the rounds.

Feel sorry for the Saints. Assemble their greatest team in history and then hear allegations that the team that defeated you were all jacked up on drugs a decade later, assuming they themselves weren't too.

Cant wait to see them all get around him when he kicks his first goal, a bit of team bonding should fire them all up (even more) in determination!

We can always get him Croad Style, as a free agent and as icing on the cake in our quest for both a 4peat and the mantle of greatest team of the modern era, in 2021.

"The JW I Told You So Thread" 6 months of "i told you so's" from both camps. Ugh

I only saw the highlights, but Box Hills manning up and defence appeared very messy and he seemed to be playing on a frustrated slow spud of a defender too. You'd want to have a handful of 4-6 goal games to put forward a case that he has got it though? Hopefully the first half of the VFL this year he does just that.

Its all fun and games until JW is traded to PA ?

Well we do want to make sure it's all in one place.

Any update on Jack this week? What has he been eating for breakfast? Where has he been spotted out and about? Any photo's? Did he train the house down? Hello to anyone who's coming into the thread because Port Adelaide player Jack Watts has had his thread bumped again.

Perhaps he's just a larger mass, so objects appear to be moving past him slower, than with other players. Sort of like when a supernova explodes, it engulfs the entire solar system at a fast rate, but from a distance it looks slow

As long as TMAC doesn't indulge in drunken midnight bushwalking, we'll probably be alright.

Are you kidding me? There's going to be a "The Jack Watts in 2018 Thread" at the top of the forum all year? How about deleting this thread Mods and telling everyone who wants to have an ongoing week to week commentary to go over to wattsland.com/forums?

It was overplayed because of the whole Collingwood first game he had and coming full circle or something. Just another meme for the year.

Luckily for Carlton, they'll never have to experience another 5 goal second half qualifying final from a first year player again On the contrary, I think it's about time people saw the Watts trade in a wider context. The cringey persistent lamentations over the Watts trade (on another forum) have been met with a stern response from me about look at what we got in return and giving Fritsch a chance over the next few years, to actually judge the second round pick trade. Which i don't think was a mere coincidence personally. Having said that, none of the burden of having to live up to another players potential, should ever be placed on his shoulders. He only has the burden of living up to pick 31.

Add Hunt and Hibberd in to the mix at times too. Very nervous opposition. The Lever inclusion looks more and more like a masterstroke now with flow on effects all over the field. We're only one non-game in though heh

Why not both? If we're into Ollie Wines, then i'd think he would be viewed as an upgrade on Tyson, Brayshaw, Salem or ANB. And that's who we'd trade for him with a draft picks. If we were good enough to make the finals this year, but limited in what we could serve up and subsequently departed in week 1 or week 2, then we'd be looking to upgrade on the firepower at our disposal imo. Have to be ruthless with who we'd need to give them. As for outside run, i don't see many that are worth too much, and we'd only need to arrange the cap space and lose something not really that valuable in terms of draft pick/trade or get them through free agency. I think this year may reveal a few list suprises that could cover for this supposed dire need for outside run too. Edit: The club used the sample principle in acquiring Harrison Petty, pick quality if its available. Work out how to shuffle around the rest of the list after.

Whether we're past going for a big fish depends on how well we do this year. Tyson, Brayshaw, Salem etc. Plenty of players could be on the chopping block to make cap space for our homegrown & a big fish if available, if we are still around the 7-10 mark and have a weak final (if we make finals) - Optimistic we'll exceed 7th and will not need to chase Sloane. Luke Dalhouse is a free agent this year, perhaps we'll be more in need of the cream on top of the cake type player.

How do we combat zone footy? Have Hogan/TMAC/Gawn this year making more of an impact with the pack/leading mark on the wing?

Bankruptcy? Not the end of the world.

Roaring To Go: The 2018 Trade and Draft Board

Hopefully this means i never have to hear his disjointed rambling "special" comments ever again.

I don't know what all the petty arguing is about. He looks good. Dynamic and proactive!

Maybe the shoe will be on the other foot: "Gee, Port Adelaide really missed out by trading out pick 31" every time Fritsch takes a mark or kicks a goal? Anyway, next year is not the year to decide one way or the other.

Rename this thread to "Will Bayley Fritsch make Port pay?"
