Petracca is a big lump of a lad who is also a very good contested mark, wouldn't be surprised to see him playing at Centre half forward in the future, working into the midfield,kinda like our main go to player when Brayshaw , Viney, Jones, or Tyson extracts it from the centre. With Hogan at full forward we would be pretty hard to stop.

If we get Petracca and Brayshaw, then I think we should go for a marking tall forward and then a speedy outside player,and we will be balanced out nicely.

Another thing I like about Petracca is that he also plays forward and is a big boy, this means he can develop in the forward line and snag a few goals for us with stints in the midfield as he develops, so if we lose out on mcCartin we still get some one who can cause some havoc in the forward 50 along side Hogan.

What I really like about him is that the lad seems to have a bit of gumption about him. Morning news now saying that McCartin is the new favourite to be taken at Number one.

He seems to kick one of those amazing 55 metre goals every week.

I see him as a Jobe Watson type, big bodied midfielder with great hands and footy smarts. Im so rapt we have finally found a few in Tyson , JKH and Salem to compliment Viney Jones Vince and cross.

JKH is so much more than the small forward i was expecting he is a genuine, very clever midfielder. You can really see the midfield taking shape this year , as well as Vince and Cross, just take a look at the exciting crop of young blokes who unlike previous years are looking very exciting. Viney, Tyson,JKH,Salem,Toumpas......all just kids but these guys will drag us out of the mire.

Who cares.....ive been relying on the draft for the last ten years....it aint gonna change a thing.

Magic mushies?

I am excited by this, i saw some really good signs of improvement in Jack this year, and still believe he will get much better especially under Roos.

If he has provided nothing, then why is he named in the best players nearly every second week? Thats not my opinion its the people in the club who obviously rate him and the footy scribes for all the major papers. I suppose they are wrong too? I really look forward to the partnership , he will make with Jesse Hogan, they will compliment each other, beautifully in our forward line. Go Jacky boy!

Last hope? Pmsl he is still a kid really.

Bet he finishes above those you mentioned in the best and fairest.

Ive seen him lay tackles,ive seen him compete hard...he will only get better, tougher and more competitive as he matures. He is also the most skillfull player at our club. Some players just look laconic, because they have great awareness and plenty of time. If you reckon Dean Kent is a better player than Jack Watts ,then good luck to you . I just cant wait till Jack is about 26 , 27 years old and he is leading our club , playing great finals footy, and you haters out there, will be squirming in your seats. The taller players take a little more time, just look at Hawkins, Riewoldt etc..

If hes a flanker then he is developing nicely into a very good one. If he kicks three or four goals from the flank he is more than doing his job.

Funny how some of the posters on here continually resort to bashing a talented young key position like Jack, when our midfield is the worst in the league, and probably the clubs history.

I think he is developing nicely.....

Four goals is a pathetic effort right?

If Watts was in a good side he would kick six every week and be right up there with the Coleman leaders.

Roos rates him, thats enough for me, and im sure that irks some on here. If anyone else kick 4 goals you would all be saying what a great game he had , instead of searching for faults as you do with Watts.

Thats right, but he also gave a little hint to someone i know, and asked her make sure she renewed her membership next year, with a little wink.

He is staying

Someone needs to teach Grimes ad Trengove how to play football. .........and they are our captains, heaven help us.

Pathetic again today, no skill, slow brain.

Should spend the rest of the year in the twos, clearly not ready yet.
