This man always creates a fierce debate. But for some reason I believe Watts is one day going to show us all why he was taken at pick number one and show his true talent. I must admit, I think 2014 he will. Where do you guys see him averaging, new coach, a great one at that. Move into the midfield and an all round improvement from Melbourne. With the forward line seemingly the toughest to select at this stage, Watts is more tempting. Is Watts simply a tease, or will he produce?

Vinny

I think he can go 90-95 but I am to scared to pick him. :-\ :P

Spudddd. Watch him start the season on fire and then be playing in the VFL again by half way through the season

Nearly picked him last year, he could come good under Roos, but I'm not counting on it. I reckon he'll average low eighties.

I agree Vinny, on both levels. He is arguably the toughest player to select, and he's not even an injury prone player :P

Really quinny? Simply spud hey haha. Any reason, or just don't rate him.

im thinking this too, however i would prefer to not start him. If he comes out of the gates and pumps out 2 big scores early watch me jump on round 2.

something like simpson to watts and than spend the cash upgrading a premo to super premo elsewhere.

30 trades, wasting 2 is no big deal.

As stupid as this sounds I wished I picked him. It was out of Robbo and Watts for F4 and I went with Robbo, who scored 20 and then 80 so, and I ended up trading him, but missed the boat on JJK as I was unsure whether to trade him. Watts scored more than Robbo, I think and I would've traded Watts out straight away and then would've got JJK. Maybe I should pick Watts  :o.

too scared as well, 85-90

Haha yeah mate just from day one When he got crunched by 3 collingwood players with his first touch I labelled him a spud haha.
Nah but really though I just think he's a gutless footballer. No drive or Go in him. I've met him him personally and watched him train and stuff and he acts like a 15 year old that thinks everything is a joke. He's done ok when they have sat him in the back line on no one but teams just make him accountable and he gets towled up. Roos is gonna try him in the midfield, just about the only position he hasn't played and I don't think he will  last long in there. I'm expecting an early season spike from him, and probably the team but like i said, by mid year it will be gone. Just my opinion but hard work beats talent every day and I don't think he has it in him

Fair call, I agree on pretty much all of that. He is a nightmare to watch, and gives off that casual look, as if he doesn't get, much like Andrew Mackie. But I must rate Roos that highly haha, I think he can get the best out of him. He is such a wild card
