I funny stat, if he came to us he would be 2nd on our whole clubs list for career goals only behind Stringer haha

 

[srobbo]

Mate just told me we want to put Jack Watts through a fitness test as we are considering him.
My mates source is his friend who works out at the same gym, grain of salt stuff.

I really hope not. He’s in the Cam McCarthy category of damaged goods, never to be used again bin.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Watts on a wing wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

 

[Ati Tude]

Watts on a wing wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

Actually, yes it would. We are probably going to get 5 kids in the draft, 3 of which are picks 6 to 8 and 2 academy picks with tremendous upside. We have a young Caldwell and other kids in the magoos to develop. We can't waste a spot on idiot Jack Watts. It is bad enough seeing Cutler running around.

 

[citizen-erased]

yeah, pass on Watts.
Had his time and once looked a quality player (for a season)
That has passed.

I guess we did recruit Ty Zanuck.......

Makes sense - Truck said he wants us to play a hard-nosed, blue collar, contested style.

So this thread went this way because someone's mate said we're looking at Jack Watts. Everyone must be bored out of their brains.

[ant555]

Do we even have room for any DFA players ? Have not really counted the spots and going up to 38 on the primary list depends on how much cap space you have.

If you believe this morning's article in the Age, some clubs can't afford to use their later draft picks, let alone taking DFAs.

Depends on how many picks we take at the draft. If we take 5 we can afford one

I believe it The cap drop does not match the player salary drop.
