Left Foot Snap

Funny - Fitzpatrick always reminded me of Beaker.......

I had high hopes for Troy Davis as well. I posted recently on ology that I think he would be worth looking at as a rookie draft prospect if Frawley was to leave. Always seemed to have a bit of mongrel and desire about him, and at 21/22 there is plenty of time to flourish as a KPP. Would likely never be a champ but would be solid backup if required, especially if he was given a limited role or job to do, ala Georgiou. Some people are very harsh on our young blokes, which is often well founded, but I heard nothing but good things about Troy's attitude and that is one of the most important things you need in your back-up players.

Saw him as a junior. Bit unco. He is fine with his tap work in the middle with that beak, but he is too slow and a liability around the ground. Also, as a resting forward, once the ball hits the deck he is useless below the knees (beak gets in the way). I don't know what Roos was thinking???? Always thought Oscar the Grouch was a better option off the HBF...... bloody recruiters.

Its time to put Watts into the middle. That is where our greatest weakness is and it needs an injection of class. Empower the kid and give him responsability to turn our fortunes around, not sit in a pocket and hope he can be a hero on the back of someone elses work. It will give him nowhere to hide and he will have to learn to take the hits. It is not a long term solution, as I still see him as a forward in the future, but it will shake things up for now. Nothing else is working atm, we have to try something. It saddened me to hear Watts say this club lacks leaders and not put his hand up. Leaders are either born or created through opportunity. Start him in the centre and challenge the kid to be a leader.
