He was still navel gazing
If he was still at Melbourne I’d feel bad
But because it’s Port it’s awesome

AFL 2019: Malcolm Blight says Jack Watts could be ‘the worst No. 1 pick ever’
Malcolm Blight had some pointed words for Jack Watts.
Australian Football Hall of Fame legend Malcolm Blight has delivered a scathing assessment of Power forward Jack Watts, claiming he “might be the worst No. 1 pick ever”.
A video of Watts snorting a white powder at last year’s Oktoberfest in Munich was widely circulated in recent days.
The Power released a statement on Sunday, explaining the powder Watts consumed was a legal substance known as ‘Wiesn Pulver’.

Watts then addressed the issue at Alberton on Monday, labelling the footage a “pretty shocking look”.

Watts, who won the Larke Medal in his draft year, entered the AFL with grand expectations after being taken by Melbourne with Pick 1 in the 2008 national draft. He was then traded to Port Adelaide at the end of 2017.
Despite threatening at various stages, Watts hasn’t developed into the AFL player many — especially Blight — hoped he could be at this stage.
And the North Melbourne great and dual Adelaide premiership coach didn’t miss when addressing Watts on Monday night.
“He’s 27 years of age, what he did — who’d want to do that anyhow and who cares. But what I want to talk about is his football career,” Blight told Sportsday SA .
Jack Watts has played 172 games for Melbourne and Port Adelaide.
“At 27, you’re supposed to get smarter and better. Of all the (draft pick) No. 1s, five years either side of him … from 2003 to 2007: Adam Cooney, Brownlow Medallist, Brett Deledio, best and fairest winner, Marc Murphy, best and fairest winner, Bryce Gibbs, best and fairest winner, Matthew Krezuer, great warhorse. They’re the five before him, head and shoulders above him.
“The five after: Tom Scully, works his butt off every game he plays, David Swallow, terrific player at the Suns, Jonathon Patton, when he plays — he’s had some injuries — but a beast, Lachie Whitfield, All-Australian, Tom Boyd, premiership player.
“That’s his peer group. You know where he sits? Screamingly last.
“He might be the worst No. 1 pick ever.”
Watts has endured a controversial few months after he was at the centre of a texting scandal in October.
Jack Watts Oktoberfest video leak
Melbourne great Garry Lyon said the Power should sanction Watts.
“It’s been pointed out this substance he’s seen to be sniffing off the chest of a woman at Oktoberfest is legal. Now, they will investigate that, but the stupidity involved in this on different levels,” Lyon said on SEN on Monday morning.
“From a Port Adelaide point of view, they’d just look at that and shake their head and say, ‘Jack what could you possibly achieve from something like this?’
“It’s a legal substance and it is the off-season, but what a stupid look for the competition and kids that are coming up.
“We know that drugs are huge issue in society and sport. For the look itself, he deserves to be fined at least. From what we are told it’s not illegal, but the look is terrible.
“It’s not a hanging offence, it’s just a silly look.”
Have no idea what Power is doing - They should be publically ignoring the Watts incident and keeping everything in-house.

I reckon Clive Waterhouse was the worst No 1 pick that I can remember playing.
Jack Watts second worst.
Josh Fraser?
I haven’t heard of the guys pre-Banfield in 92 but old Fraze would be up there.
I’ll repost
Richard Lounder or Anthony Bannik

Agreed, but at least he had the Carrara / Bears excuse
Who would want to do it? I suspect plenty!

I think Watts is a spud.
And I hate Port.
But I can’t see this as anything other than,

I think all this proves is that the “outrage industry” is fuelled by too many lines of coke.

The height of hypocrisy and amusement has to be none other than Garry Lyon having a go at Watts over this. The stuff Lyon did in his past (and not so distant past) would make Watts look like choir boy.
