Yes, maybe, but I doubt Watts was interested in any Victorian club. Our trading / recruitment under SOS is like two extremes with no middle ground. Either high end youth (1st round draft picks), or low rent, discarded, cheap, older players. They seem to have no interest in the half decent, established Watts type players. Must be saving their pennies for someone(s) special.
I don't know why Watts, as a Victorian, wouldn't have been interested in going to a Victorian club, what do you base your opinion on?
And he's more than half decent, his stats place him well above average for players of his size and the positions he plays, but I agree that we seem to have a Sydney or the bush attitude to recruiting.
About the only one of the low rent brigade to work out has been Matty Wright.
