Re: Watson-Positional switch paying off
Reply #58 –
Many people had both Levi and Rowe written off, not that long ago. It would be madness not to thoroughly explore all options for Watson. OK, we know he's not a defender.
Casboult and Rowe wouldn't get a game in a good side, the fact that we're booming them up as success stories just shows how far off the pace we are.
Watson's no good, apart from his obvious physical limitations he doesn't have the temperament for AFL football.
Neither would Laider...oh wait!
I'm guessing Casboult would get a game in a few sides on current form. That would include Hawthorn (with Buddy gone), Geelong, Freo and Collingwood. Like Laider, would probably play better in another side too.
Truth is we don't know what teams think of a player and how well they would go.

Premiership players that MM let go.
I would bet a sizeable sum that Freo would pay overs for Casboult because he's exactly what they need.
They have (or will have) the best small forward line in the game soon. Mayne, Ballantyne and Walters would clean up everything that Casboult doesn't mark.
