Just thought I'd pose the question of what people think Jack Watt's future is looking like?

I know he is still very young, and I know that big players can take awhile to develop but is there any concern that for a no.1 draft pick he is showing little of the potential that had previously been identified? Where do you think his football will be at in 2 years?

He looks better up the ground, and is getting his hands on the ball now. I don't think he'll be a star, but a focal point for the Demons he could be.

I don't think he'll ever be a top player. He's another top draft pick that can't live up to the high expectations placed on him. Not his fault, he never asked to be picked first.

He'll be good but not sure if he'll be great.

Could play him at CHF. I think he could turn out to be a Riewoldt type player if he develops well.

Crap to have in your DT let me tell you that! But I think he could be something good but not anything really special. Has some talent and the KPP always take time to develop.

He could end up as the all new Justin Westhoff.

Or Richard Tambling.

Or Josh Fraser... 199 games and counting!! :P

Very hard to tell at this stage. Could easily become a gun or a become a Richard Tambling as someone mentioned. Where as Nic Nat you already know he will be great because of his regular flashes of brilliance.

Jacks biggest problem is he's white. Everyone knows white guys can't jump ;D

Talk to the guy who can jump higher than NicNat (Forgot his name but likely going to GCS next year) ;D.

... Brett Burton... Russell Robertson... Chris Tarrant?

;D ;D. Made me laugh for a second :P.

Nah, he's another ruckman who used to play basketball (go figure).

Have you seen Tarrant mark a ball? Ah, the good all days

Justin Bieber · July 25, 2010, 05:23:10 PM

Now it's all spoil this and spoil that ::).

Wonder if Freo would experiment throwing him up forward every now and again and see if he's still got it 8).
