Watts if cheap may fill our needs. Just needs to be examined by medicos to see if he has, or can have a heart. Has the skills but as stated the gap between his best and worst is too far atm. Johnno was a little bit like that too, would be happy if we could match that with Watts.

You have hinted a couple of times but I think you believe this may be the target we are after. Maybe more realistic than the others too?

Geez, I reckon that it's a bit harsh to call MJ pea-hearted.
Lacking direction and motivation? Yes.
I've never seen him pull out of a contest in the manner that Watts does.

You do realise that McPharlin is 32 next year? The end can come on quite quickly when player hit that age and it's not like the blokes has never been injured..
Also he only had much success as a forward when swung there at some stage in the game as a pinch hitter, when they tried to start him up there he got towled up. Poor kick for goal also.

Drawing conclusions based on small or single samples is a bit unscientific. After Stephen Hill had played his 59th game what would people on here have said if I think we should be having a good look at his game against North at docklands in '10 when his tagger got 39 touches and he got 4 to gauge his true worth? Maybe Clay would have agreed, but who would have cared what he thought about it*? None of us, I imagine, have seen more than a small fraction of Watts 59 matches and probably shouldn't be prepared to commit ourselves either way, particularly given the hyper scrutiny he gets as the public face of Melbourne’s failures.
Reiterating my personal view based on the limited amount I have seen; he probably isn't going to amount to much chop since he doesn't really seem to want the footy. So I suppose we at least semi agree. I more strongly feel at the same time though that there are many people who are better qualified to judges who may disagree, some of whom may happen to be amongst out recruiters.
It wasn't aimed at you anyway so de-anstyfy bro..
*Or anything, ever.

It was an example Para. And the most recent display of his squibbishness.
I don't know how much footy you actually watch, but I get through 5-6 matches on average a week. (Yes, I know
).
And on numerous occasions over the years I have witnessed the same thing from him.
I think that you are dressing up a lot of horse manure in nebulous psycho babble personally.
P.S. I'm a qualified scientist.

As it happens so am I. In any case I still think I'm right that people in this thread are writing him off despite not ever having seen him play. Obviously excepting your good self here.

Thats doing my head in, please edit.
Lol
I'm all for trying to get Taylor and I know you have to give quality to get quality but really from the perspective of buy low sell high (like the Swans do) Watts is a better choice. Taylor is excellent, an amazing player - but look at our history and what we've paid for great KPP's. On the other hand, Watts would cost a lot less and I'd back our coaching and development team's ability to turn him into at least a serviceable lead up CHF.

Meltank played a 70kg 18 yo #1 draft pick as a key forward and he didn't kick 100 goals on the league's best defenders in his first season, with some of the worst delivery seen in AFL history, from some of the most average players in AFL history. Yep, definitely a pea heart.
He wouldn't have been put on the field by most teams bar GC and GWS and sent straight to the gym.

You did not just say that!
Did he just say that?
No, he couldn't possibly have just said that...

Because he hasn't kicked goals is not the reason that he is a pea-heart and you know it.

I could spend the next 10 hours watching conspiracy theory videos and Westboro Church protests and your quote would still be the craziest thing I would see all day.

Now theres a topical conversational piece for the forum.
God hates ****.
Anti-tobacco isn't it?
Rabid religious cranks. Anti gays amongst others, extreme nutters.
