Wilson would fit in nicely at WC


Wilson will be the best of those three imo. And yep west coast would be going all out to get him you would think.

I reckon thats exactly what the Crows would have in miond, i reckon Watts without an opponent could be very handy and the bonus of slipping forward to hit the scoreboard, He could be just as effective in the role as Lever

Jack Watts wouldn't make the Crows SANFL side.
I reckon they are wasting their time with him.

Is a good mark and has good skills. And you don’t have to be that accountable in that intercept role

Disagree, I reckon in the right environment he could be anything. Copped so much unnecessary heat. Dees played him too soon. 6'6 and athletic.

You forgot lazy as well ;)

Do you think he'll get less heat here in Adelaide?
No chance.

He'll be a much better player in a side that allows him to play to his strengths. Think Lynch for Adel.

Lynch has a great work ethic and is a selfless player................ Jack Watts has neither of these traits unfortunately.

I'm not saying they're the same player. I'm saying he might do better in a side that allows him to play a role he's capable of.

I reckon Melbourne have tried everything they can with him.......... I just don't think Watts works hard enough or has the desire to really make it.
That's how it appears to me anyway.

Not possibly, he is.

You can't put in what god left out and Watts hasn't got "it" yet that elite sport requires a certain level of effort both on and off the track and on game day. If you haven't worked that out after 8 years in the system, your 're not going to work it out in your final years.

Buyer beware, very aware...

Thought he was excellent this year pre-injury, but fact remains he hasn't been anything flash for a long time now. Approaching the best years for a big bloke, so change of scenery could be the best thing for him, but it's probably last drinks if he doesn't deliver.

He also got drafted into a club trying to lose games of footy. But everyone expected to somehow win games off his own back as a number one draft pick.

Change of scenery could be what he needs. He can play, get him in a decent side, in a structure that allows him to play a role and he will be good.

I'm still getting over the memories of the last Watts to play for the Crows.

Pass.
