It not so much the conceding goals that irks me, its that fact that he just doesn't even compete. Has no body presence and the amount of easy marks his opponents were taking today were laughable. Miller thought it was Xmas in April.

Get Scott Thompson back, at least the kid has a crack.

I canned Watt after each game this year, today I actually heard someone on radio say he gave a lot of drive from CHB.
I think I had better stop going as I obviously cannot see what,s going on.
He is shit atm, I wonder if there is anyone he could play on and even win one contest?
He makes turnovers an art form.
Please no more!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I don't know about you guys but if we are to move forward as a football club Watt needs to head in the same direction as Nifty Nev.

He always puts in and arguably tries to the best of his ability.
Is one of our most experienced players?
I get the feeling his team mates like him in the team.

If he is so bad and his place in the team is constantly being question on BF; why does he always get a game?

To anyone from the NMFC that is reading this. I myself and others are asking the coaching staff to drop Shannon Watt. He's leaking too many goals. Today, he conceded 3 goals and 1 behind in ONE QUATER. Not good enough.

I'm not his biggest fan. I thought last year he did a reasonable job, however this year has been a lot less impressive. There's little doubt he will not be around long, it's just a matter of who and when his spot goes IMO.

Played badly today on Robbo in junk time. Actually for much of the game was ok, does tend to run in straight lines and kick it forward, which is good. But does get beaten one on one too much (including last week at a vital moment).

Still, with Gibbo out, surely will not (and should not) be dropped this week.

We call him the goal machine because whoever hje plays on kicks goals. Seriously Louise Savage could kick a bag is she lined up against him...

I have been saying for years that I wish Laidley would play him on Nathan Thompson / Drew Petrie / Aaron Edwards et al as they would be guaranteed at least 6 or 7 goals...

Surely should be dropped. There is one S Thompson that should come into the mix and then I'd even include one Joss Smith ahead of Watt.

It has to be accepted by all and sundry. Watt has to go. I'm sick of rewarding mediocrity week in week out.

Enough is enough.

Ooooouuuuuuuuttttttt.

Would be interested how often he gets bags over 5 goals kicked on him. Wouldn't be a lot I would think.

Most of the side could be dropped after today's performance. And Watt wasn't playing on Robbo in the last, he had about 3 or 4 opponents it seemed. Pratt was an offender but rarely would he ever get criticized.

____ all chance of being dropped with GIbson out, and was far from typically shit today.
You're not hearing me. If our football club is to go forward then Watt must go.

Ask yourselves this question people.

If Watt plays against Collingwood next week who will he pick up?

I think 10 ordinary years at our club is enough for anyone.Please Dean........play S.Thommo and leave him in the team for the rest of the year.

I must be attending different games of footy to some people?!?!?

This guy continually gets beaten one on one even when the opposition forward has the ball kicked on top of his head. Brad Miller was having a field day on Watt, and Miller is one of the biggest spud's going around.

And yes Watt was on Robbo in the last.

I don't mind if he gets beaten I just want to see a contest and some effort. Scotty Thompson at least would give a contest.
