CibbuanoWatts to debut
June 3rd 2009 03:35
MELBOURNE youngster Jack Watts will make his AFL debut against Collingwood in Monday's traditional Queen's Birthday clash at the MCG.
Watts, who was taken with pick one in last year's national draft, has been held back so far this season because he is finishing year 12.
But the club deemed his form in the VFL - he collected 22 disposals playing on a wing for the Casey Scorpions last weekend - showed he was ready to play at AFL level.
The promising 18-year-old has been earmarked as a long-term key forward for the Demons.
