He as re-signed for two years last year remember? After he performed ok? Now he just sits in the seconds whilst blokes with no future at the club get a run.

If Watson just had an extra yard of pace he would be a very good player.

At least for the first time in years, we wont have to put up with Therapist and his inflammatory antics and annual birthday performances against us!!!

Sadly, a lot of those sides will be on the decline by the time we get the better of them. I can't see anyone but Geelong beating Hawthorn TBH.

Sydney says Hi

Have you watched him play Vfl? There is nothing that screams pick me about the way he plays football aside from his kicking.

If Ifs and Buts were chips and nuts we'd all have a merry christmas. Poor, uneducated recruiting was that of Watson, a man child dominating. Especially when Darling was still available, not sure i'll ever get over that.

I thought he did really well up forward last year and looked to be coming on until he got injured. This year he gets given one crack at it, does alright, then gets dropped to the twos whilst we play Rowe and White.

I wouldn't say he did alright. Ports forward line really did a number on our backline.

Besides he hurt himself in that game anyway.

Rowe is at worst stopping a forward. Ditto White. It's why the other two (Watson and Mccinnes)are not playing.

Giles did marginally better than Watson last weekend. Featherstone was killing Watson until he went off injured again. He hurt his hand and came off second quarter for anyone wondering and then Coburg had to find another avenue to goal. Unfortunately they did.

I would say Watson generally performs better in blue.

I would agree with this, but thus far his best Afl game has not been that good.

Watson will be played forward in this game IMO. Rowe and white are doing their jobs done back. Time to use his kicking to his advantage up front. Really want this kid to do well. Seems like there is something there, wish it would show

I really like this idea, he was used a couple of times late last year as a CHF and did well enough for another go. As a defender his pack of pace is exposed but as a forward he can use his smarts and Matt has a good set of hands and a booming kick that can stretch the saints undersized defence.

If I just had a little more height I could have been a very good player

Cachia played today so would be out of calculation. Watson and Armfield are the other 2 emergencies. Not sure if there will be a last minute change........

Perfect conditions under the roof, so they must know exactly who they will put on the park.
