I know Watson is a handy whipping boy, but at the end of the day he's played about 10 AFL games. Give the kid a run until the end of the season so at least we know whether to keep him on for the last year of his contract. At this stage we've got nothing to lose. Personally I still think he could turn into something.
I don't know what gives you that idea.
I've never seen him play a decent senior game, at his best he's been passable, and the few times I've seen him in the VFL he's been unimpressive as well.
Some times ability as a junior just doesn't translate to senior football and I think Watson is a case in point, some tennis players win Wimbledon juniors and are never heard of again.
If Jamison and Henderson both miss again he'll probably get another go but if either of them are available he'll be back in the VFL.
