Im a pies fan and i like this guys footy.I really liked the way he played in the championships last year.I just wanted to know what the bomber fans think of him.The only thing that annoys me is how he as an emergency only 2 weeks after that shocking first game.I only bring this up because of Ken Hall.Hall played one game and had a game similar to watsons.I believe Watson is recieving a free ticket at the moment due to his name.Hall has played good games in the vfl and will prob not get another chance
Firstly Watson was named to play Adelaide (for his 2nd game) but realistically he was never going to play as he was injured.
I think he is still a long way off becoming a regular senior player. Some people get carried away.
Hall is a rookie so cannot play 1s unless he is promoted onto the senior list. He has been solid in the VFL this year but was outshone early by guys like Bannister, Harvey and Bullen and more recently by Ben Haynes.
Haynes is our best rookie and will definitely get the nod ahead of Ken Hall if as expected we promote a rookie.

Jobe's an exciting prospect, but it looks like his opportunities this year are going to be very limited. He wasn't too convincing on debut and as much as I think the world of his old man, he shouldn't get a run in a champion team purely on the basis of his name. Opportunities will come, and it'll be up to Jobe to show us all what he's capable of.
