He would clearly have been spoken to post the "tits and coke" text messages of last year and if this was around or after those events then he's clearly not learnt anything. I'm also pretty sure the club would be sick of pre-season **** ups and just one summer of no bullshit might be nice for a change.


Yeah good chance for Port to make a tough but correct call and let him loose, if the public are seeing these examples of his behaviour then Im guessing his younger team mates are seeing 100x more examples. You wont win a flag with him in your squad so cut your losses and all move on IMO.


Plus he is easy call to make an example of. Not in the top 25 players, won’t be there next year.

Why is it a shocking look?
Thousands of people of both sexes partake in it every year.
Harmless fun, good luck to him


If I have to explain why simulating drug use is a shocking look I think there is no point in me trying.

Are you the President of the Nanny state?
Who cares what he does in the offseason as long as it’s legal


Harmless fun or not, nanny state or not, or if its a 'good look' or not can be debated and each to their own on those.

But.... what cannot be debated is how monumentally stupid it was for Jack to a) do it and b) let it be filmed given the social media scrutiny he found himself under just recently.

Just dumb.

PORT ADELAIDE forward Jack Watts has admitted a video of him snorting a legal substance during Oktoberfest was a “shocking look”, saying the pain he had caused the club hurt him the most.

The video, which was taken at Oktoberfest in Munich last October, shows Watts inhaling a substance known as “Wiesn Pulver”, a legal substance made up of menthol, sugar and glucose.

The 27-year-old, who joined the Power from Melbourne during the 2017 Trade Period, spoke briefly to the media on his way into training at Alberton Oval on Monday morning, saying he had made positive changes to his life since the video was taken.

“It’s been a pretty shocking 24 hours,” Watts said.

“I’m trying to keep some sort of perspective in the situation in the fact that I wasn’t doing anything illegal.

“I’ve made a lot of changes since the video, in my life, for the positive, and I look forward to continuing that.”

The video shows Watts snorting the substance from a woman’s chest in the middle of the Oktoberfest celebrations.

It has been widely circulated across social platforms.

“It’s a pretty shocking look. I’m really disappointed with myself,” Watts said.

“You can imagine having my parents and my sisters watching a video like that and it’s not a great feeling.

“The pain and the burden I’ve caused for the club, the supporters, my teammates and coaches – that’s probably what hurts me the most.”

Watts knows who filmed the incident and said it had been recorded and distributed without his consent.

“Absolutely not with my consent and of course I feel upset that someone feels the need to video something like that at a festival over in Germany and then feels the need to send it on,” he explained.

“But that’s the world we live in and I need to realise that.”

Port Adelaide Chairman David Koch expressed his disappointment in Watts’ actions.

He indicated the club would continue to investigate the matter, and had notified the AFL.

“As a club we are bitterly disappointed with the video content that appeared yesterday of Jack Watts at Oktoberfest in Munich last October,” Mr Koch said.

“It’s not a good look and Jack should have known better than to put himself in that situation. He is aware of that and has publicly apologised for his actions this morning.

“At the moment we accept Jack’s explanation on face value that the substance in the video was indeed legal, but we will still investigate the matter further.

“We have made the AFL aware and they can investigate further also if they choose to.

“Let’s be very clear. Port Adelaide takes a zero-tolerance approach to illicit drugs. We do not want them at our club or people who use them in our club. End of story.”
PAFC. Forever.

I was surprised he didn't miss the target completely with the powder, and pour it down her cleavage.

From that group, true, but someone has to be at the bottom of every "list".

Melbourne, rightly, took him at #1 in 2008, he was the stand out that year at under age level but was clearly mismanaged by a shambles of an organization. Fair to say some others in the top 10 got it wrong too!

Yarran, Vickery....


Pick 1: Jack Watts (Melbourne)
Pick 2: Nic Naitanui (West Coast)
Pick 3: Stephen Hill (Fremantle)
Pick 4: Hamish Hartlett (Port Adelaide)
Pick 5: Michael Hurley (Essendon)
Pick 6: Chris Yarran (Carlton)
Pick 7: Daniel Rich (Brisbane)
Pick 8: Tyrone Vickery (Richmond)
Pick 9: Jack Ziebell (North Melbourne)
Pick 10: Phil Davis (Adelaide)

It was a poor draft year. in the 10-20 bracket I think oly Tom Lynch (after failing at the Saints) and Luke Shuey have made any impact. Daniel Rich looked great in his first year but fell away . Won a rising star award but that was in the Crazy Vossy days when the wheels fell off the club. Rory Sloane was picked at 44.
