Round 16

Re: Round 16

No one wanted to win it.

Jack Watts arggghhhhhh!!!!!

Melbourne did enough to get the 4 points in that last half. It could have been such a massive upset for us.

Just looking at the ladder, the game that absolutely kills us is the St Kilda game. Still don't know how we lost that. Win that and we would be currently in third position.

Re: Round 16

Those misses were terrible from Watts but they weren't the worst things he did. Just a complete lack of composure under pressure.

Oh, well. At least there were some willing contests in the second half.

Re: Round 16

I actually thought Watts played great after half time. Yeah he missed 2 crucial goals but cut the kid some slack. He is improving every week and will be a heck of a player for the Dee's.

Why should I cut him some slack?

Missed 2 crucial shots for goal, took his eyes off the ball which meant a team mate couldn't handball to him when in trouble, a handball from a team mate would have seen him run into an open goal & he missed the ball!!!!!!!!!

No way, soft so & so cost us getting 4th spot!

Tongue in cheek TCD? I'm sure our soft so & so's have so far cost us being top four and they have played a lot, lot more footy than Watts.

Just a disappointed Dogs supporter who wanted Melbourne to win, badly. I guess his errors were crucial.

True. I don't have foxtel so I didn't see how bad they were.

Re: Round 16

Rumour is Jack Watts has everything going for him except he is soft, proved it today, not just the shot at goals but every other possesion.
The blokes a liabillity, the other players must get a bit winded hope wise when he stuffs up everytime.
HE is the reason they lost, did he get minus in the supercoach? Must have gone close if he didnt.
Number 1 draft pick in the form of Anthony Banik.
In saying that, Trengove and Scully are number 1 draft picks and deservedly so.

Watts got 70 SC points...

Watts had 13 kicks, 7 marks & 6 handballs which aren't bad numbers.

Did we have two #1 draft picks last year?

Re: Round 16

Very harsh on Watts, I can recall when our very own Chris Grant was missing crucial goals as well as from point blank range. No one would ever say he choked.

Lets not forget how many goals Freo missed in the last quarter.
Having said that, "gee, I was annoyed that the Dees could not get over the line though"

And our captain has missed a couple after the siren too.

With a bit more size, a bigger motor and more confidence Watts is going to be a good player.

Exactly right!

Re: Round 16

Yeah he may have missed sme very gettable shots but I thought Watts had a very good game. I know no one has mentioned it but I have always said Watts will be better than Naitanui and to be honest the last couple of games Jack has shown a lot more than Nic. Mark Robinson makes mention of it in his Tackle column. Watts will be quite the player.
