So it IS him. Watts is a jinxMate, come to terms with it - Watts = wins.
It was like they always used to compare the win rates of Nathan Jones and Joel Selwood. Comparable players from the same draft yet the winning percentages were 100% to 0% more or less.
Hate to be that guy but Jones was 2005 Selwood 2006, Jones was drafted as a 17 year old though so they are the same age.

Still has room for improvement like any player but mentally he looks more switched on. Playing some constructive football the last month or so.Roos made a point of praising him in the presser.
He's having a great couple of months.
Playing his best patch of footy under Roos and McCartney's tutelage.
Agree.I remembered when we first got Roos we were all saying if he could turn around Watts it would be worth the investment
Im pretty confident hes turned the corner now, that play when he baulked a man in the second and nearly nailed one from inside 50 was brilliant.. The sort of goal that can turn a match
Agree.
I'm just about at the point to release some air and say "okay, Watts - you'll do". He has strung good performances together - impressively in games where the overall performance of the team has not been stable. A player who can steady and keep their head is something that several teams, not just Melbourne, can benefit from.
Also, I feel he just looks different. Even walking about, having a sledge, arguing with an umpire etc. I'm not sure what exactly it is but he looks as though he has more steel in his spine. Whatever it is, I feel as though I have turned a corner with him. And I'm glad to do it. I've always loved his quick hands, kicking action etc. if he has found a grown up AFL player in himself I give him some kudos for that. It looked for a while as though Melbourne dark days might claim another victim. Hats off if he has gotten past the years of what can't have been an easy career to date
He's surrounded by tough nuts and not expected to lead them anymore

Would have absolutely bought the house down. I was already up In on my feet ready to go!If he had of kicked that goal, sheesh. Still out best user though.
Watts didn't set the world on fire today but I'd wager he's doing exactly what a lot of people want him to do. His aerial game has become much better and he is no easybeat in a 1 on 1. Onya Jack.
