    Farewell Jack Watts

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    How about we start by creating our own model?

    Mossquito fleets and forward pressure blah, blah. Richmond were kissed on the you know what this year, injuries to talls early and Hardwick was forced to play smalls. It worked. All of a sudden they found players that could hit targets and some of those players were pitiful last year.

    If the FD believe Watts doesn't fit in for a premiership tilt let's leave it at that, I have no choice but to except it.

    In an interview earlier this year Watts stated he had an important accounting exam the day after his debut. Yet let's throw him to the wolves. He will be fine in the future.

    Unfortunately it's an emotional sport and I'm a fan of Jack and maybe I only see the positives he brings.

    Turning up pre-season in an unsatisfactory condition doesn't warrant the criticism. A lot of players are guilty of that, look at Oliver, but I guess he has time on his side. 

    I've read many times he likes to party and I'm glad he's been discrete if that's the case because if Watts ends up at Port he could certainly give Ryder some lessons about keeping a low profile when hitting the town.

     

    Anyways, just bring trade week forward so we can start the welcome threads.

    Apparently Jarman Impey was dancing with Melbourne players in the footy show revue, which obviously means nothing much, but he is on the trade table according to rumours and matches our need for pace and could release Hunt or Hibberd to play higher

    It was Impey, Nev Jetta, Varcoe and SPS dancing to Boom! Shake the room.

    i can't believe this thread has got so much momentum. The last 2 premiership teams, the Dogs and the Tigers show that you can't have guys like Watts running around who blows over in the wind. You need relentless pressure and intensity. Watts has neither but for some reason people on here are like 'oh but he has nice foot skills'. There you have it, you've prioritised foot skills before hunger and thats an amateur way of building a list. Hunger and appetite for the contest always comes first. I'm really excited about Watts going. Finally I can rock up to the footy and be one step closer to 22 men applying manic pressure instead of 21.

    Oh, so it starts next year.... wish I'd stayed home for Round 23. 

    By the above, the door should be a bit bigger to fit more than good old Jacky boy.

    Discipline issues blah blah, his pre-season was well documented, they shoved a rocket up his backside and it worked. 

    A lot of lines thrown around here about "partying hard", and I'm sure he's not the only one if true. 

    We don't know what the club is planning for trade period but I find it a tad amusing that some want Jack gone because of his discipline yet on other threads, some want Stringer, no need to go into further detail.

     Impey has been mentioned and I read he fled the scene of an accident pre-season.

    Motlop, known to hit the buffets in the off season. 

    If team practice is the reason for trade, like stated a few posts above, start with those buffoons that went on a mid-season bender or a quiet can session when they were needed.

    The club is happy to keep him, though his standards are poor?

    Crows need to play the corridor and rely upon their superior skills.

    They are falling into the same trap as GWS last week and playing the boundary which allows Richmond the easy stoppage.

    Why play their scrimmage style

    Terrible second quarter by Adelaide.  Could not score a goal.  Walker, Lynch and Jenkins needto lift big time.  Done nothing. 

    Spot on DJ and those Adelaide talls are looking like the Parthenon columns.
