"I actually look forward to seeing him out there because from all reports, he's going to be a great player," O'Brien said. "I feel privileged to be playing in the first game he plays - good luck to him, I wish him all the best."

This is getting out of hand, even the Collingwood players are starstruck.

Let's hope MM plays O'Brien on Watts so he can get his autograth

I'm tipping a Melbourne win
Good luck guys, make sure the margin is big.

Agree with the OP you cant get to carried away just yet and i wish Jack all the best and hope he does some good things but there is a heap of pressure on No.1 picks and i cant wait for the Bay threads to start if he is quiet in his first ever game

Gee i hope the Dees win today would love to see the Pies get done against a team on the bottom of the ladder and keep them out of the 8.

Interesting to see him play, but I can't see him having an impact on the game.

 

[Papa Juggs]

As if it wasn't the same with all the Carlton boys.

Give the Dees one for a change.

Go Watts.

To be fair, I reckon Melbourne are putting anything Carlton did to shame.

The Dees are setting new benchmarks in shameless exploitation.

At least they're succeeding at something.

Stynes was banging on all week in the media. C'mon along so that in x years you can say you were there when he debuted. Will get nasty if he has a modest game (which you would expect).

And we love every second of it

Whatever happens, today's a great day for the club.

If you ever wanted an example of everyting wrong with AFL football.

The world has gone bloody mad!

Be funny if he was the Luke Livingston or the McAlister bloke from Essendon of the Top 1 variety. But looks the goods. Hopefully he gets owned today though

 

[JeffDunne]

Don't think I've ever wanted Collingwood to win in my life but I'd love to see Melbourne get absolutely smashed today.

Melbourne supporters won't care because "whatever happens, today's a great day for the club".

Watts are you talking about? 14 goals and 42 disposals as a minimum.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Interesting to see when your club is up and about you talk like your inivincible.
Dude, you go for the saints. You were in the same position so should have a bit more respect. Same for any d-bags who go for carlton, essendon, and hawks who sometime this decade have been pure garbage and have turned it around.

Relevance?

What's there to respect about shameless exploitation?

The fact he's a low draft pick & Melbourne are getting them is somewhat irrelevant to me if that's where you're coming from. I'm very much a supporter of the draft but I'm very much against what some clubs are doing to the game. A publicity event is more important than winning. A young kid with a stack of talent is having unrealistic expectations placed upon him and the kid hasn't even finished high school. Melbourne supporters will argue he's ready but I would ask how would you know when the club are exploiting today for every dollar they can get.

Personally I reckon the whole thing is a joke.

 

[Wonaeamirri33]

Don't worry about taking Jeff particularly seriously at all - he's been desperately barracking against us since I wound him up last week...

Seriously Jeff- you started in on that thread about Watts the other time on the board here & got continuously shot down OVER and OVER by at least half the people who were online that day. Was one of the most obvious and textbook examples of pwnage I've ever seen- ever more so than the two times you got completely pwned before THAT! Here, and on the Bay...

(I have to take responsibility for those two other pwnages though )

And now you're having another go. You're just going to lose again Jeff...

His nickname amongst friends is Jack 'Whopper' Watts. Lets just say it's the same reason John Longmire was called the 'Horse'

Lol

No wonder he is So Uptight

 

[Dez!]

If you ever wanted an example of everyting wrong with AFL football.

We would read your posts.

He has a long face?

 

[whelan=legend]

He has a long face?

Original quote:

Yeah his genuine nickname is WHOPPER. I will tell you the origin although it might get me kicked off the site. I will tread carefully, They call him Whopper because of the same reason they called John Longmire the Horse and its not because he looked like one. This is true so I hope I don't get in trouble for stating facts.

That's coming from the guy on Demonland who told us all 24 hours prior to the announcement that Jack was 99% playing. So i think he knows him.

 

[PowerOfThePussy]

Gives them another angle I suppose. Attract a few more female fans.

Come and get your whoppers ladies.

A Hungry Jacks sponsorship would be in the offing no doubt.
