Have to say the way Melbourne have publicly shamed Watts is doing nothing for his value i would offer them 31 and thats it.
It's very strange. It's the sort of tough talking language clubs usually use when they're pissed off with losing a player rather than encouraging one to leave.

I think it is a bit unprofessional and over the top what they have said.

Most of the talk they could have kept behind closed doors if all they wanted to do was light a fire.

All to weird another thing how the heck do Port have enough salary cap to sign Rockcliff, Watts and Motlop who is rumored to be linked to them?

Perhaps a scare tactic to motivate him?
Maybe. Shocking way to try and motivate a bloke though.

Certain types of personalities can respond - usually the very strong ones - to being dressed down like that (your Toby greene/s and Stevie Johnson's) but those self-confident types are just as likely to have a massive falling out and react like an Akker or Hall did and completely break with the club.

I don't get the sense Watts is that type of player. Could be wrong though.

Hawks tried to move Schoenmakers along at the end of 14, he didn't budge, stayed and played in the 15 grand final. Player has the upper hand when still contracted.
They didn't come out and throw everything into the public though did they?
