  1. Don't worry about the dropped mark, he's one of our best public speakers.
  2. Only 3 likes so far, hang in there you might get some more.What garbage. The posters that criticise him actually put forward reasonable arguments. The ones defending him keep putting up the same rot.
  3. There needs to be a difference between what supporters expect from Watts and what supporters expect from Watts because of his no.1 status. A perfect example being Salem, he went pick 9. I expect from him elite kicking and more often than not choosing the right option the first time under pressure. Why? Because I know he's got it in him. I also expect him to be accountable defensively. Tmac went pick 50 something, what do I expect from him? I expect him to make most contests and spoil the ball or read the play and take an intercept mark from opposition kicks. I don't expect him to set up play coming out of defence. When he decides to goes for a run it worries me but he's having a crack trying to take the game on and generate something. If we can find someone to pair up with Salem (and it's not Grimes because he can go to) on the other flank he might be less inclined to do so. But the bare minimum is I expect them to compete.Draft pick aside we know Watts is an elite user of the footy and is bloody smart but it all counts for nothing. Opposition clubs don't pay him much respect. Numerous occasions this year he's played on younger less skilled opponents, he should be licking his lips thinking "I'm going to teach this bloke a lesson". And nothing.... He debut was a year too early but we didn't stuff his career. Paddy McCartin was played too early this year, is his whole career stuffed? He's still has the same elite disposal and footy smarts he was drafted with.
  4. I should clarify his inability to compete/contest is all in his head.
  5. Tough mentally? The one area of his game that is lacking. You're right, it does say a lot.No idea....
  6. Thanks for the photos 666. I'm in two minds for the upcoming preseason. I say that because we've seen it all before and got excited only to get served up the garbage we got this year. I am interested though to see how are injured players and new recruits are going.
  7. Someone accidentally sets the cardboard cutouts on fire. Stadium evacuated.
  8. Whether he's named as emergency, plays, doesn't play he is not the type of player that will take us forward. For all involved just get the trade done. Watts is a perfect example of - we may have stalled his development by a year or two but we didn't stuff it. He had elite skills and footy smarts when we drafted him. Fast forward 6/7 years and guess what....he still has them. Quick someone tell me he laid 7 tackles last week, getting tackled by Watts is like having a fly land on the back of your neck.
  9. Watts was off to Carlton, once Roos was announced he signed on. Watts along with others still haven't worked that it's up to them to perform on the field. The coach can only do so much.
  10. I haven't seen enough of him this year to comment. But if we did pick him up to play on the back flank shouldn't we keep Salem on the other. Who's our other options to play there?
  11. Carlton might have the spoon but we are still a rabble.
  12. Sorry were the cardboard cut outs in the stands or on the ground?
  13. Id like to think if Watts has approached Roos and told him he's off that Roos has stuck to his word.
  14. Retire - Jamar Cross Delist/payout - Bail Riley Terlich McKenzie Trade - (don't be fussy just get it done, the first 4 are forever stained whilst at this club) Howe Garland Watts Grimes Dawes (would love him gone but think he'll survive) Toumpas (one year under Neeld was not his undoing, put him up and see if there's any interest) Give Michie one year(I think 11/12 is the max). All going well Michie/Newton/M Jones will play most of next year at Casey and be off the list in twelve months. For those that would say your keeping Michie over Toumpas, when we're done with Michie its over for him. If we keep Toump next year and he still gets his game high 7 touches we get nothing for him as well. This year we might get something. Will Toumpas come good....who bloody knows. A full year under McCartney and he's gone backwards if anything.
  15. I get it but why? This game means nothing to both clubs.
  16. If Roos wanted him out he's still be playing this week. If Jack told Roos he's out he wouldn't be playing this week.
  17. GrimesWatts Howe No contract yet for the Toump Can it get any better?
  18. If Tigers loose they could face the Crows in Adelaide next week. Sucked in.
  19. 1/2 time. The Daw 4 touches, 3 kicks for 2 goals 2 towering marks 5 tackles and some handy ruck work.
  20. Tigers are rattled. Regardless of tonight they will loose next week. Vickers back to his old self.
  21. Anyone watching The Daw? He's going alright, his ruck work has improved.
