Not sure about rucking. Can see Dixon potentially go into the ruck

You shouldn't wish your life away when you're nearing your 50's and have a cholesterol as high as mine, but idk, can it be football already?

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

And the previous 7 years?

Like I said, we chose to get rid of him. It was a choice. Geelong weren't willing to part with pick 19 or 21. That says something.

You can give me all the stats you like. I've seen Watts closely for 9 seasons. I don't think he'll even make your 22. Depends how much you can put up with him squibbing contests. Watts would've gone years ago but kept getting saved by new coaches in Neeld, Bailey, Roos etc. who all wanted a crack at getting him to compete. None of them could.

All the best to him though

Bro watts your point he is gawn he will help us get goodwins

Welcome to Port Adelaide Jack.

Oops!

Ouch!!

You don't think Watts can get in the side over Frampton, Marshall and Eddy?

 

[Needs Gravy]

Love the fact he has the ball inside 50 and didn’t give it off to a teammate under the pump which we saw a lot in recent years in our forward 50 but had the courage to take the responsibility himself.

Get really drunk and play AFL Evolution on PC.

Modding the game is a piece of cake and playing in the PB against Adelaide wearing penises and scoring 700 to 6 is an incredible feeling. Yeah I may have set the difficulty to beginner. But I tell you what the only downside to that is having to google penises so you can make the custom uniforms.

That's why you use a secure line that nobody can see the history of what weird fetish you've looked up this time. Incognito works fine but if you live with your parents and they pay the bill and get a copy of all wifi history in PDF every month then consider a dongle. However if you don't like the idea of a dongle then you can always use your mobile phone hotspot.

Anyway I've probably gone off track a bit here.

 

[Grave Danger]

Ouch!!

Yes, Messrs October thru December should only be players who are cast iron certainties to be on your list the following season

 

[LFC2010]

This is literally ******* ridiculous. For pick 31! Incredible trade

and melbourne could be paying some of his salary.

 

[yepits2020]

Welcome Jack. Hope he surprises the football world with an AA year.

I could see Franpton getting a gig before Marshall rnd 1

 

[Enviable Tradition]

In: Rockliff, Motlop and Watts
Out: Pick 31

It sounds like the most one-eyed batshit BigFooty trade in history.

Haha.

Yeah we have all been like **** off it's not playstation.

i don't want to burst your bubble guys but don't forget that we got rid of him for a reason.

he has played 1 good season in 9 seasons, he came 21st in our best and fairest this year and gets dropped to our reserves team at least once a season.

There are a lot of melbourne fans that bemoan this trade but you don't hear from the supporters that are thrilled of his departure.

He doesn't go hard at the ball, sit under high balls and tackle with intensity. the reason he gets ignored by teammates is because he has no onfield presence. he only averages 2 inside 50 kicks a game and 8 in total so don't expect too much link up. he is a straight kick but just dont expect him to go and get the ball.

I wouldn't be surprised if his transition is Polec like.

Give his all at first, get comfortable and stray a few times in his effort. Cop a spray and maybe get dropped and come back better for it.

I back Ken to get the best out of him in the long run.

Isn't it good that we've got Dixon who does go hard at the ball, does sit under high balls and does tackle with intensity, who has onfield presence up the wazoo?

Watts complements Dixon perfectly.

He will be the Doreen to Dixons Scotty

I gave it my best shot

Nice.

Can someone do Watts and Westhoff as W1 and W2 in bananas im pyjamas outfits for my avatar.

I am genuinely excited to see these two mess with teams minds flipping back and forward.

I love that he has come and knows exactly what is required of him already. **** yeah! If nothing else it shows we are focussed on next year.

You are on fire!

Welcome Watts.... now to show off the amperage held within....

 

[Pedantic]

I'm confident that he will be a good player for you guys. Not just because that would be typical of Melbourne but because I think that he already is a good player and that he plays his best footy when the coach is relentlessly positive about him.

I honestly reckon those of you who get along to Adelaide Oval regularly will enjoy watching him the most. He is a great player to watch live IMO, one of the smartest players I've seen he's always getting into good positions and obviously uses the footy really well. These past four or five years I've never really understood the critics of his work ethic, he is a hard runner who covers a lot of ground and can ruck as well as play in defence when trying to shut a game down/hold a lead in the dying minutes. He can sometimes lack intensity in the contest I suppose, but as long as he's just expected to play a role rather than be All-Australian I think his strengths will more than cover his weaknesses. I'd expect him to be in the top 10 in your B&F for the next four or five years which is a lot more than I can say of pick 31...

I'll miss seeing him in the red and blue and I hope he has success at your club.
