Jack Watts

[Macca19]

He wasnt under pressure. Looks like hes gone for the year. Irs a real shame

 

[El_Scorcho]

Absolutely spewing for him. Handed the PBs at training during the week after his best game in a Port jumper, and now this. Praying that it's not as bad as it looked.

Such a tragedy. Why Boak would handball to him under pressure in the first place I’ll have NFI....

Nothing wrong with the handball, don't blame Boak for this.

I agree. The decision to run with ball through traffic was Watts'. He was open enough to disposal it, if he wanted to.

I am not sure Watts has chosen the best play. Even if he didn't, he has really overpayed for such a mistake...

 

[OneGreatClub]

Hope his mental health doesn’t take another huge dive

 

[Power Raid]

Fingers crossed we see him again in 2019

Sucks and anytime we lose a player with good footskills for a length of time is a double blow for us as we just don't have enough of them.

The accident is football, Boak handballing to players under the pump is happening every week though.

Those short handballs to players in tight is our game plan. Get used to it. It is how we get the ball moving quicker.

Boak did nothing wrong.

One thing i noticed during the game was a lack of talking, particularly early. Jack is probably used to having a bit more time but in defense the pressure is high. A little more awareness by Jack and the players around him could have prevented this nasty injury.
Such a pitty, was looking forward to see what he could do this year.

Annoyed... There were better options on than the handball... but shit happens and unfortunately Watts has paid a season ending price after he played the best game of his career!

Boak probably shouldn't have handballed, but Watts made the wrong call for the ball. It happened to the left of me and there was nobody up the field as we had pushed back hard, and that's why he slows down and props to think about who to give it to next.

If it's a break in round 2 I wouldn't be putting a season ender on it, can easily see him back in a few months depending on severity and where the break is.

lol probably time to update your signature

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Pointless apportioning blame. Players get tackled all the time without breaking ankles. Just bad luck. Rotten bad luck for a guy who looked like he was rebuilding confidence in himself and among fans.

Hope the injury is not too bad and Jack gets back sooner rather than later.

It was his birthday earlier this week too.

 

[StrappingTape]

Ridiculous appointing blame.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

Injuries happen in football guys.

[PAFC_1870]

Such a cruel game. Hope to see him return first of all and secondly back to his early form.

 

[StrappingTape]

I reckon a huge chance to be ready round 17 on with that. It sucks but on the plus side he did it so early there a good chance he can be back this year

 

[Jack Grange]

Damn. Poor bugger. Was actually getting confidence on the ground for once in his life.

I guess Hammer will slot into his position

Would have thought height wise Dooogs for Watts and if fit Hammer for maybe Bonner?

Broken fibula and dislocated ankle, so probably ligament damage, is why it may be a season ending injury.

If doogs hits form
