Jack Watts to be named AA this year?

[Dez!]

The end? Melbourne was only ever a money making venture for Roos. Mission accomplished.

Such stupid.

In terms of pure natural football ability jack watts would be in the top 20 players in the competition. I would look a hawthorn supporter in the eye and tell you Jack Watts is a more talented AFL player than Luke Hodge but if I was picking a team for a GF I would pick Hodge 100 times over Watts and that will always be his problem.

I hope he is Port's best player for season 2018. I hope he would have been Melbourne's best player for 2018.

 

[Nostradumbass]

Has he trained the house down?

Nuh Lever will be our best.

Looks like it

Do All Australian votes for Jack Watts count?

All Australian written all over him.

My prediction is that Watts will play at a similar standard as he did in Melbourne (pretty decently) but people will drastically overstate his influence as people often do when a historically maligned player goes to another team because 1) the romanticism of it 2) he'll have better talent around him and 3) it's great ammo to troll Dees fans with

Will be like a lot of the media losing their s**t for everything Travis Cloke did in a Bulldogs guernsey, despite it being very similar to everything he did in a Collingwood guernsey, which they all seemed to hate.

Nuh Lever will be our best.

You will be where I want you to be then, good.

You do realise abilty has many faces, hardness-courage-intensity, sure the man can kick a football but he can't do much else.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

If you are not a star by 27 years of age it's highly doubtful you ever will be I just hope he's a decent link player up forward and allows Dixon to stay put inside 50 more.. oops logic sorry

 

[Sir_Loin]

You’ve improved but there is still a very “Melbourne” culture. The whole players cancelling training camp isn’t a good look. You wouldn’t see hawthorn under hodge doing that or even the tigers under Cotchin doing that

This has been brushed under the carpet. Not enough made of this I can’t recall that ever happening in recent times.

I’d like to see the dees do well this year hope it was just an aberration

I think Goodwin could do with a wand

Does he have a spell that turns footballers that dont like hard gets into midfield bulls?

Hardness is nothing to do with ability that would be the stupidest message ever to stand up in front of a room and say only a select few are talented enough to give effort and desire.
Natural football ability is kicking ability, vision, one touch hands etc.
If watts had hodges mental ability he would be in Melbourne TOTC

 

[Enviable Tradition]

We haven't put much of a foot wrong since Peter Jackson came on board so I'd completely disagree with you there.

Watts will play the same as he did last season pre-injury and people will act as if he's a new player because every potato focused on after he returned underdone from a month layoff and played average.

Are you calling Simon Goodwin a potato?

No because Goodwin won't be the one praising him acting like he's a new after he plays like he did in the first half of 2017.

 

[Demon13304]

What's inevitable is the 'I'm loving it' report out of Alberton in the next weeks where Watts will add 'I've never worked so hard on the training track in my life'...and we'll all be back here.

Can't wait for all of us Dees supporters to absolutely cop it with the Watts 'best pre-season he's ever had'

 

[captain blood 17]

I think now that Watts is in a more stable and professional environment which has achieved more on the field than Melbourne (stronger culture and discipline), he has every chance to succeed now. You can't rule out an AA.

Yes because Ken Hinkley is a much better coach than Paul Roos.

Hinkley got Port to a prelim, Roos at Melbourne had a best placing of 12th.

Look I don't know about AA but I do know that he's going to have a career best 35 disposals and 8 goals against Melbourne because that's just the way things go around here

Doubt it now you have Lever.

Subscribed.

He will be decent for Port, but if he makes even the AA squad of 40, then that will do me.

Wasn’t Jobe 27 when he came good. Maybe Watts needs some of the good stuff.
