Jack Watts Biography

Jack Watts is one of the most popular and richest Football Player who was born on March 26, 1991 in Victoria, Australia.

Jack Watts (born 26 March 1991) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Port Adelaide Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). A utility, 1.96 metres (6 ft 5 in) tall and weighing 93 kilograms (205 lb), Watts has the ability to play in any position on the ground and has played for extended periods of time as a forward, defender, wingman and back-up ruckman. He was a talented sportsman at a young age, playing both basketball and Australian rules football. In basketball, he represented Victoria and Australia, before giving up the sport to focus on football. He was recognised as a gifted footballer at a young age when he represented Victoria at the under-12 level. He went on to represent the state in the 2008 AFL Under 18 Championships as a bottom-aged player where he won the Larke Medal as the best player in the championships and was named as the full-forward in the All- Australian team.

Watts retained his spot the next week for the round nine match against Port Adelaide at TIO Stadium in Darwin, and kicked two early goals to help the club win by one point. He maintained his spot in the side for the remainder of the year, even after recording just three disposals against Carlton in round eleven, with the club opting to give him game time and reiterate he was a long-term prospect who would get better with time. He played fifteen games in his second season, kicking ten goals, with former Essendon forward and three- time Coleman Medallist, Matthew Lloyd, stating Watts would be “ecstatic” with his season and he “presented across half-forward so well and is building his body and engine to hold down that position for a sustained period for Melbourne”. Shane Crawford, the 1999 Brownlow Medallist, noted he had improved that year and showed enough glimpses to predict he would be a top ten player in the competition in the next few years. A club post-season trip to China saw Watts play in an exhibition match against Brisbane known as the Shanghai Showdown; played at Jiangwan Stadium, Melbourne won the match by five points.

Watts was born to Janine and Andrew Watts on 26 March 1991 in Victoria, Australia. He proved himself as an adept Australian rules footballer at a young age when he represented Victoria at the under-12 AFL carnival. An equally talented basketball player, he represented both Victoria and Australia as a junior, earning a scholarship with the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). In 2007, he was rewarded with a second scholarship with the AIS, this time for football, as part of the eleventh intake of the AIS-AFL Academy. He missed playing in the 2007 AFL under-16 championships for Victoria Metro and most of the basketball season after he broke his collarbone twice. Despite attempting to play both basketball and football at an elite level, he ultimately gave up his basketball scholarship with the AIS in mid-2008 to focus on a football career; at the time, he was considered the best point guard for his age in Victoria and potentially the best in the country.

At seventeen years of age, Watts entered the 2008 season primarily playing school football with Brighton Grammar in the Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS) competition, instead of under-18 level in the TAC Cup with the Sandringham Dragons. He was completing year eleven and could choose to nominate for the AFL draft in either 2008 or 2009; touted as a likely early draft pick despite being a year younger than most of his fellow draft prospects, he spent the majority of the season undecided on whether he would nominate for the 2008 draft. He did, however, state that he would remain in Victoria in 2009 to complete year twelve at Brighton Grammar even if he was recruited by an interstate team.

With much of the criticism placed on the club during his first year, the scrutiny turned to Watts during the next few seasons as it was deemed that he was not living up to his potential or the public’s expectations. This was partly due to Watts displaying a lack of urgency and work-rate on the field according to former players Wayne Carey, Garry Lyon and coach Mick Malthouse. He played the early parts of his career in different positions, which Garry Lyon wrote led to an instability in his game and was a reason for why he, at times, lacked confidence and self-belief in his abilities. He was often very quickly scrutinised when he played poorly, and was the first to player to be blamed when the team played a bad match, which led to Paul Roos questioning why the public had such a fixation with Watts’ form. He was also plagued with being known as the “great white hope” as soon as he was drafted and due to the club trailing near the bottom of the ladder from 2009 to 2015 and experiencing failed rebuilds, Watts was symbolically seen as a poster boy for Melbourne’s failures during this period.
