Was a Melbourne poster that brought it up (Keithy George on the fourth page).

Fair enough that you want to continue the eternal debate about the 2008 draft, but when you start spouting crap like 'has never performed in big games' then you will get attention.

And so on.

Jack Watts has never failed to perform in big games. Just sayin.

Not even once.

2009 vs Hawthorn (defending premiers)
.

Not disagreeing with your post but I recall hawthorn not even making the eight that year.

I know we belted them at least once

2009 vs Hawthorn (defending premiers)
2012 vs Collingwood (top 4)
2012 vs Geelong (preliminary final)
2015 vs Sydney (top 4)

This is just off the top of my head. s**t post.

Nup. Hes rubbish in big games. Deal

 

[Major Colvin]

This is pure rubbish

Is truth

Pretty sure you're baiting.

Have fun.

Neither in the league's top 150

Just looking at his stats, and a 34-goal return with 4 rounds remaining is a pretty big turnaround to his career.

Stood up when it counted and kicked the winning goal against the Suns, hes gone from maligned and irrelevant to a structural asset for Melbourne, best case scenario for him really.

Tom Lynch and Jack Watts are the only blokes from that game yesterday that can say they weren't part of the embarrassment that was that game.

He's the cherry on top when the team is playing well. Won't win the game for you or lead in the way a Viney or Jones do but he has a reliable set shot and his competitiveness at the contest has improved dramatically. It's no surprise that his best seasons (2010, 2011 and now 2016) have been seasons where Melbourne were winning games. Wouldn't necessarily call him a "downhill skier" but generally if Melbourne plays well so does Watts. Every team needs that sort of cherry on top player.

Youre wrong but ain't even mad!

Coaches votes for Jack Watts will not be counted!

As good a year as Watts has had (improvement wise), I still don't think the penny has dropped. Has more gears IMO.

Penny has dropped imo, but yep nowhere near his ceiling, funny to say at 25.

Genuinely don't understand that AFL rankings thing? I'm sure there is a formula for it, but it just seems so random. He's a gun, but Nik Nat hasn't even played for two months. Makes no sense to me at all.

 

[MarkJohnson#1]

He's still soft but has finally started to deliver some of the goods that were promised.

Good for him.

 

[brabs]

I think it works a bit like a golf handicap, I think he is rated a little too high here, he is at least top 10, but suggestions he is not in the top 150? Maybe The ox posts on here.
The other players in The top 10 do make sense though.

I hope Jack watts continues to reach his potential, I've felt sorry for him over the years, with the amount of criticism he has received, the added pressure has prolonged his development imo.

Melbourne doesn't play big games.

How much do you watch Jack Watts play football?

WRONG!

Holy * your as sharp as a circle

I think he is at the level he probably would have been at 2 years ago if he wasnt thrown to the wolves so young, however at 25 and the growing confidence I think he is just beginning his climb
