Without disclosing too much, the guy does have a connection at the club and has been pretty good before.
It's the number one overall pick syndrome...
Jack Watts has the ability to play any position on the field. He has pace, footskills and height. All things we need. Would be best 22 on any team in the competition. Soft as he is with his poor attack on the ball, he can still play and play some very good football. Much as he is maligned.
If the great Roos can't get anything out of Watts, what makes you think our development staff could?
Roos is famous for taking teams rejects and making them into good players.
Why all the talls? Don't we need midfielders?
Have heard some whispers that the Mitch Clark - Lumumba trade is a bit of a smokescreen. The real trade will be Lumumba for Watts.
Seriously?
No they haven't.That's a coincidence.... me too. Besides its hard to trade for Mitch Clark when Melbourne has delisted him
It's the number one overall pick syndrome.
The public opinion is constantly you're a dud unless you're the best in the draft which rarely is the case with those number one overall picks.
Bryce Gibbs like Watts has similarly been unfairly criticised despite being a durable and consistently very good player from the start with a particularly terrific season this year where he thoroughly deserved to be in the AA squad of 40. And with Gibbs given his prowess from the start has never deserved any of the criticism that has come his way.

It's what you would give to get him that had eyes being raised. Watts isn't worth a first round pick anymore let alone adding heritier to the deal.
Absolutely. No question in my mind.
Any team could find a role for him. It's just a question of whether they would elect to play him.
Even Sydney and Hawthorn. When you look at the bottom 5-7 of any best 22 it's very easy in my mind to make way for Watts with his versatility and ability to play a number of positions/roles well.
No they haven't.
What position/role has he proven he can play at AFL level?
Maybe they can. He most definitely on their list still though. They couldn't delist him officially until the season finished, and he informed them he was going to return to football before they did so.It says on the AFL site that it has delisted him because of retirement. Maybe they can go "oops"...
Forward flank, back flank, wing, key forward, key defender. He has played to a satisfactory standard in each position he has attempted.
