I was talking to my Filth-supporting dad about Jack Watts and I asked when he should play. He responded, 'This week definitely.'
It seems the perfect round, doesn't it? Considering that it's only Melbourne vs West Coast, it's Saturday afternoon, it's not really a big game, and West Coast are down the bottom end of the ladder with not much of a backline, why not?
My dad also said, 'Play him the rest of the season, he's not getting any match experience in the reserves. Wouldn't it be great to see Scully, Trengove and Watts playing together? Watts will improve a lot if this happens'.
Hate to say it, but there's a smart Collingwood supporter who I agree with 100%.
