IN: Jack Watts

[stickman11]

I listened to Triple M all day, and they never mentioned Watts playing better than Naitanui

Tripple M. Now that ends the argument. Sorry I doubted you

But what about my point about non statistical impact ?

You mean the wank factor. From what I saw, neither had that much impact so statistical maybe all there is. Watts did set up two goals but dropped a mark that was delivered poorly. Nat took a nice mark and did a few nice taps but turned the ball over a number of times.

Impact = 0 for both at the end of the day.

I'd say the umps had a bigger impact on the game

 

[stickman11]

Blasphemy!

He did OK. Pretty decent for a 4th gamer. Nothing spectacular or memorable. I thought his intensity was a bit off. Took two nice grabs going against the flight in one-on-one situations, and assisted in 2 of our 5 goals.

Considering we had six contested marks, Watt's got 2, that means he had 33.3333% of our contested marks.

NN did **** all for most of the games. He was beaten in the ruck by both Jamar and Johnson and was ineffective around the ground. I'd have said that Watts played the better game, yeah.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Both will be superstar players in their respective positions. NN spent the majority of his gametime up forward, Jamar and PJ mostly took on Cox.
That being said, Watts doesn't deserve to be bagged for yesterday. More experienced heads, such as Colin Sylvia do.

WC fans, what is your team's policy on refunds. I wish to return some faulty merchandise:

You know you lost a trade badly when the team that got Matt Rosa easily won

You guys did last year with Naitanui. There are many threads that could be bumped

Can you find any evidence of me saying anything like that? I'm hardly responsible for anything any other supporters say on a site like this.

No i watched it on TV,which gave me a good idea of who played well

No, it give you a limited insight. Your not expected to follow your team over from Perth, but don't tell me you have a better idea of the game, then someone who was actually there.

In the post game discussion, about 20 minutes after the game finished. If you can find a podcast or something, then go check.

But what about my point about non statistical impact ?

That was answered by my point about you not being there.

Natanui is exciting to watch, but this was not one of his better games. 2 exciting marks from poor kick outs doesn't change that.

 

[happy_eagle]

It was really line ball yesterday, but Naitanui has clearly had the better season

Naitanui's average game = Watt's better game

Someone give this man an Emmy for Outstanding Performance in a Comedy.

 

[Tulip]

Did you go to the game Happy Eagle? I'm guessing not.

Nah but he saw a few high leaps that saved Nic from embarresment. He's a freak athlete, but he's got a lot of work to do with the ball to become an exceptional FOOTBALLER

It was really line ball yesterday, but Naitanui has clearly had the better season

Naitanui's average game = Watt's better game

18th game = 4th game

8th game of the season = 1st game of the season coming from back injury

20yrold = 19yrold

94kg = 85kg

happy-eagle = fagbot

Naitanui has had the better season??? im hoping you meant game but i would still disagree with you there either way

i will say they played as well as each other.. both showed good signs but both didnt do alot... there

and id like to point out how would you know what one of watts' better games is like?? he has only played four

lol how can u say nic nat patty wack had a better season when this is watt's first game and inverted palm tree mop has played 8 with no injuries?

 

[Prodgasm]

18th game = 4th game

8th game of the season = 1st game of the season coming from back injury

20yrold = 19yrold

94kg = 85kg

75 = 46
=

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

sorry about the double message... :S not sure what happened
and prodgasm... i dont see your point... are you saying because you won naita played better???

 

[Ochre]

lol how can u say nic nat patty wack had a better season when this is watt's first game and inverted palm tree mop has played 8 with no injuries?

because nic has been playing AFL when jack's been playing VFL

by your logic, you couldn't say Gary Ablett's had a better season than Lewis Broome

 

[jinny1]

no you just manipulated my logic to present you argument when my logic was not meant to be interpreted that way...

jack had an interrupted preseason and played his first game this week...and hes saying nic nat had a better season but hes played 8 with no injuries..

it is true hes had a more prosperous season but you cant compare them two...you're using different metric systems... its like saying nic nat has travelled 10000m compared to watt's so many miles therefore nic nat has had a better season

 

[anti_]

one thing i will point out is that brad sheppard played better than tom scully.

clearly because of this, taking him at no.1 was a massive draft blunder.

scully has played all year and sheppard has just come into the team. yet sheppard showed so much more class and poise. scully is just an athlete with inept kicking skills, sheppard is a much more natural footballer.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

lol @ anti

 

[happy_eagle]

Dont use the games excuse

Watts could have been playing AFL

Disturbing statistics.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

Disturbing statistics.

in pavlichs first 18 games he averaged
12.1 disposals
0.8 goals
4.3 marks

In Browns first 13 games he averaged
9.5 disposals
0.4 goals
3.4 marks

In Reidwolts first 6 games he average
9.5 disposals
0.3 goals
and 4.3 marks

looking at watts' statistics... then looking at those statistics and the players that they became.....

Riedwolt 185 games - 409 goals
Brown 194 - 455
Pavlich 222- 439

seems like Jack is headed on a similar path
i really dont find those stats disturbing
