Jack watts debut this week

It's funny how Jack Watts comes in and Melbourne supporters think they will win because he is coming into the team, if you think that then the rest of the team must be pretty crap.
You have got to be joking, we have lost several games precisely because we have absolutely nobody who can kick any goals. we have broke even or beaten many good sides in the midfield and/or backline but cannot kick scores. We also happen to have a no.1 draft pick who plays FF/CHF. Wouldn't putting him in be the perfect response at trying to win a game? YA THINK?
Looking forward to seeing what this kid can do, I too saw his VFL debut and was impressed. Took a great pack mark, had the quick wits to play on and snap the goal when the umpire called play on. Also kicked a nice goal off the boundary line later on, although it was the repeat efforts beforehand which really impressed me.
Makes the build up to the Queen's Birthday match a little bit bigger, I reckon we might see a bit of a boost in numbers at the game. Certainly would help the Dees from a financial point of view if a few more turned up.

Since when did "Unlisted" become apart of Melbourne?
This is more like it

So what we shouldn't support our team and not be excited about seeing our young players debut?
I think it's going into the game with high spirits also what is wrong with talking up winning? last year we lost by 20 points and before that we had one 3 or 4 of these games

melb supporters and club have placed ridiculous amounts of pressure on a kid that hasnt even played a game
lucky he doesnt play for a more hated/popular team, otherwise the criticisms from opposition fans and the dogs in the media would be far worse
hope he kicks a couple

careful now... you don't want him to go the same way as the last player to be touted as a messiah.. Courtney Johns Ring a bell?
I had a chuckle at some of the comments in here, some of you people need to cut the negative crap and get a life

Jack will do OK on debut, I'm not expecting big things.

As long as we don't compare him to epics like Dane Swan.
Coming from a team with such a proud premiership tradition, give me a break. We are playing what everyone thought was the best player available in his first game!! Lighten up FFS, enjoy what could be a great career.
As for the SMS, its about time the MFC caught up with technology and got people and radio stations talking about the Dees for 48 hours as opposed to listening to piffle about Collingwood, Carlton, St Kilda Essendon etc.

Jack just walking to his the G for his debut... Nothin special for him..
Naitanui would clear that puddle in a single leap.
Your name looks like you were expecting someone else in the draftJack just walking to his the G for his debut... Nothin special for him..
you'd be delighted if watts ended up being as valuable as dane swan.
lets not forget; dane swan was pick 58.

Should we be interested in the number one pick more than the other first gamers?
That will help you yell out Go number four! on Monday.The walk to the 'G'
Watts is carrying his school bag and taking a packed lunch from home.
How quaint.
Haha, good one.
AHAHAHAHAH!! played footy with the guy since juniors - he's had foot stress fracture problems since under 10's, Carlton got jealous of essendon taking Gumbleton, so decided they'd get their own spaz... Bwahahaha...

Good luck to him, I was excited seeing our 3 #1s debut.
It would be fair to have thought that Kreuzer was a little raw before seeing him debut and play fantastic footy for 1.5 seasons.
No reason Jack can't do a similar thing, the cream always rises to the top. In saying that, no reason to worry if he appears out of his depth, the speed of the game will get him before the physicality does.
