I still maintain he was only drafted because of his name, and I would be surprised if he played 50 games or more of AFL football.

the kid is 18 years old you gooseand i bet you will eat your words.

P.S. atleast we give our fathers sons the chance to have a crack at their fathers team.Unlike Kenny Hunters son!

Michael Clark was a fizzer for the demons... only played 1 game... been delisted this year...

Classy.......



Jobe is 18 years olf FFS. An 18 year old who had op.

I saw him play two VFL games, and was ok. Good in close, deep kick and thinks the game out well.

He is not at all quick, but he has a naturally big frame that may fill out well enough for a KP.

Doubt he'll be a KPP more of a Hf/hb flanker who can outmark their opponent while run into the midfield and create mis matches.

Got to back up scooter on David Round dear oh dear.

Even David Bourke played 10 times better footy than David Round!

Am, apparently Kenny Hunters son wasn't needed at Carlton (we had a good look at him, but they don't rate him that highly)

Richmond made the right choice passing on Jason Cloke to pick up Couglhan who will be a far better player than Cloke.
I don't think clubs can afford to automatically pick sons of champions anymore.

 

[electricsix]

agreed they cannot automatically pick up the sons

however disagree on jobe

david parkin was quoted as saying he was a top thirty pick and anyone who knows footy agrees

he can seriously play

his first season was injury interrupted reserve judgement until this time next year

winderlich and walsh are the jewels essendon has ; both super quick, tough and skillfull

 

[SydneyBomber]

Karl, you are a deadset drug *******.

Hard to judge a kid injured when it counted this year.
Will certainly remember this thread in future, but I already know that Karl is a fool, so I won't wste my time bookmarking etc.

Looking forward to ANOTHER year of the cats finishing higher than the blues in 2004? That'll be 3 straight since you jumped on the blues won't it?
Jeez, that's gotta hurt.

Well, well, well! There is a first for everything!

Agree with Scooter and Pazza.

David Round by the length of the Flemington straight.

Jobe Watson will be a good player.

Bookmark this thread BB. So will I, and it'll be back this time this year. I look forward to it

Haha. I think that there's worse F/S pickups.

Yep.

Even came close to a Brownlow in the year Mitchell and Cotchin won it.

Nah Dustin Fletcher is worse, only played 400+ games. Where's the longevity?

 

[HBFlanker]

This is one of the funniest threads on Bigfooty. What a peanut who started this

 

[HBFlanker]

The day Trent Cotchin wins a brownlow i will cry. Turnover king

 

[camo85ss]

There are plenty worse FS than Jobe, what a stupid thing to say really.

*edit, I am even stupider for not seeing the thread start date, but still its a stupid call.

When did dustin play his 400th? I thought the only reason he is playing next year is because he didnt make it this year.

 

[markm106]

Epic bump!

 

[Shade]

Bookmark this one Bomber fans, will provide a lot of laughs over the coming years.

Sheedy was partly to blame for Jobe's poor first year - picking him a week before the match and announcing it was a huge mistake.

David Walls anyone?

best post in here

Fletcher will retire a 400 game player unless (touch wood) he get's injured.

There isn't many better Father-Sons than Jobe Watson.

This Brownlow?
