KFC SuperFooty TV: Michael Warner, Jay Clark and Jack Watts on the big issues of Round 9

Former No.1 draft pick Jack Watts has revealed the measures he had to take to cope with harassment when trying to enjoy some time out with his friends.

Former No.1 draft pick Jack Watts has revealed how he coped with the unwanted attention AFL stars attract when they go out.

The same day Patrick Dangerifeld revealed he had to deal “with dickheads” who harassed him in public, Watts said going out with friends became almost impossible at times during his playing days with Melbourne and Port Adelaide.

Every Wednesday Watts joins Herald Sun reporters Michael Warner and Jay Clark on KFC SuperFooty TV to examine the big talking points of the week and preview the round ahead.

“I feel for the boys,” Watts said on this week’s episode.

“I find it staggering that people think they have the right to do that,” he said when asked about the altercation last weekend involving Richmond stars Shai Bolton and Daniel Rioli.

“In our case we were struggling a fair bit so it was a lot of, ‘Why are you out having a beer when you should be at training?’ even though it’s Saturday night and we’ve got a few days off.

“It’s sad but for me when I was out earlier in my career, you’re always on eggshells taking the safer option trying to avoid that stuff.

“If you asked my mates it would be almost every weekend you’d have to leave somewhere — just move on to the next place or find a dark corner somewhere and hide away, or I’d just go home so they could have a bit of fun.”
