Neeld needs to pick a position for Watts to play (probably Wing) and play him in that position for the rest of the year. He is clearly getting confused as his role is changing every 5 minutes.
The kid can play but needs to learn to play a permanent position before playing other positions. The more I hear old players talking about him they all suggest he should be played at CHB for the rest of the season and let it show him how to find the footy. Something Neeld should potentially consider.
Give Watts a break. Yeah he dropped the mark but how many marks were dropped for the game? Our poor kicking/handballing skills cost us the game not one dropped mark!
I have no issues with Watts and still think he is devloping nicely, ifact I still believe Watts will have a better carreer than Nic Nat (although his highlight video will be much better). Strauss is to early to make the call on but Blease and Bennell are useless. Blease should go and joing his mate in GWS.
Sick of this topic in general. When has another 20 year old (kid) been media bashed like this? It's a disgrace!
This guy will be a very good footballer in 2- 3 years. He played some very good games last year and I expect him to take another step forward this season.
Be patient and don't read into the "bashing" too much because he will eventually prove his "bashers" wrong.
Still think we make way too many mistakes. Constantly hand balling to guys that are about to be tackled and kicking to stationary targets.
I am a massive Watts fan but he really needs to be taught how to demand the footy more than he does now. Hopefully a new coach and game style will help our club move forward.
