Why did he paint the fat version of him?

 

[Loonerty]

Did not miss them quads though.

If that's considered fat. I wonder what I am then.

He's been short-changed on the arm muscle tone. He's in better shape than that

Well, I'm guessing that you're not an elite AFL player, so it's different for you

Tbf Jobe does have damn big quads

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

That's pretty amazing for colour pencils kudos to the artist.

 

[Loonerty]

Yeah that's what I mean.

 

[Beerfish]

It looks like Plugger playing for us with gigantism in his right quad and Jobe's head.

Nice work for pencils though.

 

[Doss]

Great work for pencils.

Am I the only one who reckons the face actually looks slightly like a hybrid of him and Cale Hooker, though? Just slightly?

I hope that Watson gets near his best form in 2015 - His last two years have been Meh.

 

[boncer34]

Jeez you talk s**t. 2013 was right up there with his 2012 and the first half of 2014 was pretty damn good, though I can't imagine why he struggled in the back half.........

Age+his injury have slowed him down a touch but he was still producing at a high level will get back to his absolute best next season.

If he can play injury free no doubt he can get back to his best.

He also showed an "in progress" shot:

You must be easily satisfied - Watsons last two years have been at arounf 70 or 80%.

Or your judge of football is horrible.

I know which theory I'm backing in.

 

[Doss]

I'm going to swim upstream here. Jobe's last two years have not been at the standard of the first two months of 2011, or 2012.

They've still been very, very good, mind you; and in both years he's had injury as a legitimate excuse. His 2014 wasn't as good as his 2013, which wasn't as good as his 2012.

 

[Drummer_19]

His form up to getting injured against port in 2013 was just as good as his 2012 season.

 

[Doss]

His form up to getting injured against port in 2013 was just as good as his 2012 season.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Definitely hasn't been as good since.

 

[Jade]

Do you reckon he'd be willing to room with Gumbleton again if we pick him up as a DFA?

 

[Yoda_]

Captain fantastic still

 

[Keystone agony]

With Heppell firmly in the minds if opposition clubs as the main tag target now should equal for a big season from Jobe, Stanton, Goddard, Cooney and co through the midfield.

So Dustin Martin is the new Jobe Watson and Corey Ellis is a "pure inside mid", was Hardwick having a laugh when helping put the article together?
