List Mgmt. Welcome to West Coast: Francis Watson

[the harry]

Better than you could expect being a late in as he was. Very pleasing.

Couple kicks a bit loopy but shouldn't be the first defender dropped for next week at all.

 

[whatis]

He barely made a mistake and especially early when we were shocking. Good speed and pressure. Looks like a keeper.

 

[omarlittle1]

Aweosme debut, has already replaced Cole for me. I hope he can maintain his output. Looks a real winner.

 

[Biggie]

Amazing poise shown by Franky today.

So pleased for him.

 

[the harry]

Post match interview with him is fantastic. Just makes you want him to succeed even more.

 

[JCHolmes]

Someone gif his little run off half back selling candy and slicing through traffic. He stays in the team.

Looked good. One poor kick over Gaffs head but apart from that he was composed and did pretty well I thought.

Queries about his skills and decision making but 85% efficency and 1 clanger was pretty good.

Jetta went at 65% and 4 clangers but he looked like he ran and rebounded more.

We have found our long term Jetta replacement post retirement.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Love this kid. Natural footballer and super humble. Well done!

 

[DirtySandman]

Nice interview, is both happy and nervous

I was cranky hearing hurn was out, knowing Schofield wasn’t there, but Watson had a terrific game. Hope to see more of him.

 

[Woobla Stainz]

Like this kid! Have seen him at a few WAFL games seems like a top bloke and is well liked. Very friendly and humble

 

[avishka5]

Man i really want him to succeed. I know that he's no longer young but just pure silk and has all the attributes of being a gun mid sized defender.

 

[CursoryMercenary]

Was worried he would miss out on a debut this season and we could potentially lose him but thankfully it turned his way and he has shown he can play well at AFL level.

 

[Keys]

Watched him at training today

Can't emphasise enough how effortless he looks when he moves and how clean he is with the footy

Obviously it was only training but he was honestly a joy to watch

Posted from when he was first drafted

It took a while but he finally got his crack at the big time - ironically for someone who seemed to get injured at inopportune times when on the cusp of selection he gets his chance as a late inclusion due to an injury

Thought he acquitted himself really well and wasn’t overawed at the tempo of the game

Don’t know how they managed to get there but it was great to hear some of his family made it for the game - he seemed quite emotional about it in that post game interview

Our defence is tough to crack into but he showed today that we certainly have the cattle to develop when others retire

They knew on the Saturday that Hurn wasn't playing and Watson was getting a call up, so they scrambled his family from Perth on short notice to be there

There had be some doubt on Hurn passing a test If Watson and Williams both travelled as emergency’s..

Anyway as I said elsewhere I thought it was a solid debut by Watson ..He has a heap of talent and has been developed perfectly by WCE with his composure and decision making..

Dammit. I haven't been available for a couple of weeks for personal reasons and the player who I sponsor makes his debut! I feel like I've let him down...

 

[Luuuc]

Yeah, his composure was the thing that stood out most to me. Love seeing that in a young 'un.

 

[Beutbrute]

Last week from the Beagles.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Last week from the Beagles.

That kick is jetta- esk . I noticed he chose the safe option yesterday . Give it time and he and rotham will replace jetta and hurn .

It seems crazy we have jetta hurn and kennedy replacements just sitting in the wafl with 2-4 years of development into our system ready to make their own mark on our team .

 

[Cuzz09]

Anyone got highlights of Watsons debut?

Great debut. Like Rotham feel very comfortable with Frankie Watson in the team and would like to see him get given a chance to keep his spot in the team when Hurn returns.

 

[TY24]

Wholesome moment: Franky put a post on Instagram about how good it was to debut in Alice Springs.

I just checked the comments and he’s gone through and liked every single comment from fans, what a guy.
