No Oppo Supporters Jack Watts - Traded to PA for pick 31, Thanks Jack

[RandB]

I have no idea what the point of one week in the VFL was.

Nobody does.

 

[d33my]

God I hope he comes out and kicks eight

 

[LeverPuller]

Maybe he's there due to lack of options? I mean who is left for depth...JKH...then Terlich...

 

[Dez!]

God I hope he comes out and kicks eight

Why didn't he f***ing kick 9!?!?!!?!

 

[LeverPuller]

HE ONLY WENT AT 98% DE WTF

Robbo said he thought Jack had played his last game for the Dees before selection. Others said it would be wrong to select him this week.

That probably says more about Robbo hen anything else...

The fact I bothered to do that while sitting here watching The Footy Show probably says more about the quality of The Footy Show these days then anything else...

The fact that you were watching The Footy Show probably says more about you than anything else.

Things that are guaranteed to happen this week, no matter how well Watts play:

• He'll be accused of being soft
• He'll be accused of being a waste of a #1 pick
• He'll be subject to numerous infantile and disgraceful insults
• He'll be blamed for every bad passage of play he has even slight involvement with
• He'll be heckled

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Looks like we're playing funny buggers with Watts named at Casey too - preferably he gets another week at Casey.

 

[Ando727]

When he does play well (granted it's not too often) we look a better side but I have no idea what the point of one week in the VFL was.

Guess Jack managed to "enjoy his footy", "get some form" and "stop letting his teammates down" faster than we thought...

I just want him to kick his opponent's ass for the first time in his life.

Bit weird given that he was named on the field in the seniors. When's the Casey game?

 

[Major Colvin]

I'll admit it doesn't look great for Watts sitting the Hawthorn game out while we get walloped by 105 points and then allowing yourself to be selected for the Dogs (admittedly a good side who will probably wallop as as well)

Apparently his form for Casey wasn't great. Also understand that with Dawes out Watts presents as a straight swap, but still, you can't help but feel Watts wouldn't have thought his form warranted a spell in the seconds last week if we were playing Carlton.

He was named in the bests so that says otherwise.

OK. I'm going on reviews from people on here

 

[Major Colvin]

Regardless, the rest of my point stands

I think the fact that Roos wants him in the team coupled with his recent form against the Dogs and our poor (particularly skilless) performance against the Hawks meant he was probably brought back in a couple of weeks earlier then the coaches intended.

 

[Cannon82]

Would like to see Paul Roos drop back to coach Casey in the VFL for a week.

Can someone paste that on Jack's locker pregame, or get Ricky Nixon to push him out of a boat 1km offshore

Feel like a battered wife, believing he'll change for the better, just one more week...

 

[Topkent]

Actually amazing how accurate that article was in hindsight

Pretty much identifying that he plays footy like it's basketball

 

[Dee Won]

Accurate review, I just thought after the first couple of seasons he would fill out a bit and build endurance

Interesting, depressing reading. Somebody should post it up on his locker - nothing else seems to have succeeded in getting him to believe in his abilities.

Was pleased with his game today. His skills are superb and I think he influenced some contests when he needed to. I hope he takes confidence from that and builds on it.

EDIT: Also, he looks that much better when the rest of the team are playing with confidence. I know everyone has to take the game on themselves, but it does make a difference.
