Ross is too slow to be an A Grader, he runs on a treadmill.... And not skilled enough. He isn't even assured to make it. But hopefully he makes it.
Ross is a Watson remember. Sheedy and many others said Watson was too slow..........he is pretty good these days.

This, and I have a feeling we speak for the masses...so many are just over the absolute rubbish. I know many of my mates just don't bother anymore, too much crap to sift through.
Yes.... I too was keen to talk Watts..

Anyway, on Watts he needs a cuddle - bring him in Saints

I think Watts has more upside than Cripps.

Confidence is shot. Needs a change


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

100%.. whoever the club that lands him will have a lot of work to do, but enormous upside... Perfect risk/reward pick..

I would like to see us do it.

He is in our age range for regeneration plus the upside could potentially be fantastic.

That being stated, if he was to develop into a B grade player even that would be beneficial.

I for one wouldn't mind him at the Saints, could see him being our centre half back using his frame and creating play of half back.

Watts suffers from type 2 softness.... Just needs a new arse ripped open

There are 3 kinds from what I hear.
4 actually. Bryce Squibs has his own classification for softness.

I agree with this. He would be a good pick up for any club and would benefit from being at any other club. We have a strong leadership group and I coach that seems to be able to give confidence to players. I think he has the potential to be an A grader but not likely to happen at melbourne. I don't know how we would get him though as I think there will be other clubs after him and I don't think he will be eligible for free agency yet


I love this club

Look what happened in the next decade. Kudos to GT and Bundy
And it's time to do so again. Why not follow the model that worked for us then?
