Geeze, Watson moved like an Iceberg. Surely gone either this year or next.
Rutten moves like one too.. but everyone has a hard-on for him
Ummm...Rutten is a proven, AA full-back, reads the play as well as any defender in the AFL & uses his body extremely well one-on-one, with a reputation 2nd-to-none.....
Your turn sir.....
Watson has played 12 games and hasn't had a consistent run in the seniors...
your turn sir.
That's it......your hanging your hat on that? Come on LR, you can do better than that.....
12 senior games & countless VFL games over 3 years whereby he's shown no improvement in one-on-one contests (did you watch the VFL game against Casey Scorpions a couple of weeks ago?), is beyond hopeless when the ball hits the ground & doesn't read the play particularly well. I'm more than happy to have seen him get a game last night & like all Carlton players, hope he turns into a gun or even something more-than-reasonable will do - however, without the ball in his hands or at ground level.......yikes, he's got some work to do....and so far it hasn't improved over the 3 years he's been part of the AFL system. I shudder to think what someone like Drew Petrie or Robbie Tarrant might do to him.....
I reckon he has the tools to be a good footballer, its in his head that he aint right IMO. IF he could get his attitude and attack on the man and footy right, I think he could be ok. We saw some glimpses last year I reckon. But you're Brettie, has hasnt struck a blow in 3 years.
