I'd have Watts at the RFC . . . not sure why he all but committed himself to that rabble beyond this season

Watts is a wimp! No one would deny he is an OK mark, a pretty good kick and is quick for someone of his size but footy is so much more than just talent. And i have seen it over many years of playing local footy. I don't blame Melbourne for his lack of development, that's an easy excuse for him. He lacks fight, aggression, intensity and the will to push himself to the edge. Its not in his make up to be what most people think he should have been with his talents. He is just a soft boy that cannot play against men.
IMO he is only a touch of an upgrade on our very own J. Post.
He is not what the RFC needs or wants!

[Coach]

Post is a decent comparison. But BigTone, he's playing for the most pathetic club in the world. Nathan Jones is the only player they have who has a nonstop crack. Personally I'd take Watts on our list and see if Dimma can get the best out of him. Like Posty, this kid does show the odd act of courage. His issue (IMO) is a lack of work rate. Bit like Tambling. A lack of intensity can be changed easily, especially in the right environment

[gerkin greg]

exactly, look at how well Tambling and Graham are going at Adelaide

[Coach]

But they're not good footballers bro. Watts has dobbed 7 in the last 2 games. Not sure how the other two are going for Sturt

[gerkin greg]

I remember when Tambo dobbed 4 in a quarter against reigning Grand Finalists West Coast... ahh memories

[Coach]

I remember when you got a career high 3 disposals in an under 14's game. Leave Jack Alone

[gerkin greg]

Had it on a string that day...

6 in the last 2 games.

[Coach]

whoa. Garry Lyon lied. Point is he is playing well and has been since the Freo game

[one-eyed]

Rance had 11 one-percenters against the Suns yesterday.

[Andyy]

Worth every penny. Really finding some good form. Just need Grimes back as 3rd tall and a viable 3rd tall forward and I think things will fall into place better

[Judge Roughneck]

we have a multitude of you tall options.

just need the selection panel to pull the finger out

[Andyy]

True. But I don't have a lot of faith in Astbury or Griffiths so far. McBean has been pushing for selection all year so I'd like to see him given a crack.

As for the backline, none of them can hold a candle to Grimes. Kid just needs to get his body right for a while...


Grimes in the D50. McBean F50. Astbury and Griffiths gotta show a bit more this year. Griffiths especially I think will find himself in hot water if he doesn't.

[TigerTimeII]

I cant bag him today.. great game
