five don't go into three
lol

Important comment - good pick up TNT Blue. Tells me that Meat, Watto or Waitey won't be at Princes Park next year. Can't see Kreuz or Hendo being traded.

I also found MMs comment that few blokes doubt themselves more that Watto. Man, that explains a lot. Question is, can he build on what he achieved today? Can he achieve that with serious opponent?

Yeah
I didn't get it that way Baggers
In fact I thought Mick gave the impression that he was quite pleased that in 2015 they were going to have a bit of a dilemma with a glut of forward options....a nice problem to have...an "outstanding" problem in fact

on Matthew Watson

"Fantastic
I think Watto needs to look at that game and say over and over ...why hasn't this happened before?....because there is no-one more self doubting than him, and it's taken a long time for us to have the confidence to say....now step up!
Now what he's done is thrown a spanner in the works with regard to our forward line structure ...which is outstanding...Henderson will be available early next year...Kreuzer will...five don't go into three....which is terrific for us"

So it's a nice problem to have...... but also there's probably a little message to those holding out for extra contract concessions that Watson just damaged your bargaining position to some extent.

I can't believe all the positive comments and hope that many supporters have shown on ONE reasonable performance. Yes ONE reasonable game.

IMO this player has been on the list for far too long. That's the problem with our club and the difference with the heavyweights.  We don't face reality well and don't make the tough decisions that the hawks and cats have - we hold on for way too long to players that long term are a 1-100 chance to make it. Watson is yet another example.

Im far from an expert but from early on he never looked like making the grade. He is lost at sea when the ball is on the ground has absolutely no game sense let alone any goal sense. That goal he kicked front he boundary was straight out of his ar5e (remember Casboult goal from the boundary against the same pr1ck of a team a few years back-see my point)


Sure yesterday's game was one of his better ones but to now talk him up as a genuine forward line option for next year..........

4 goals from Watson is a great effort but let's not be seduced, he still had NFI about marking, positioning, what to do when the ball hits the ground, his hand are slow.......he is not AFL standard.

Not sure if it showed up on the TV, but it was plain as day at the ground.

And while on forwards, unless he can kick straight, Casboult is no use to us. End of argument.

This is really starting sht me. It seems to be popular to blame Watson for not fisting the ball through but no one has any inkling as to whether he knew how much time was left. Reeks of bias.

OMG just stated watching thee replay, how is Tim Watson calling Watto's free in the square incidental contact and lucky? His arms got chopped and he got belted in the face FFS.

I got a text from a mate as Gibbs was lining up saying there was a minute left, obviously took a while for the text to come through. Still can't believe Gibbs couldn't make the distance.
