[whelan=legend]

I know, we've got a 20yo one who is out performing yours.

Please don't tell me you just tried to compare Henderson to Watts.

Watts is far, far better skillwise, you can just see this from watching them play. Watts is sublime off either side of his body.

Athletically, well, Henderson didn't even make the top 10 for anything at the 2007 draft camp. That says it all.

Well in that case there's no way Henderson would've kicked more goals last week despite spending time in defence than this Watts character has kicked in his two games

Hahaha. Why don't we compare them at the same age, instead of one having played 22 games to the others 5?

The server will go into meltdown if/when he dominates a game like Nic vs Essendon.

as it should to counteract the amount of pure shit that gets thrown at him on here

A poster on your own board commented that a big part of Watts and the Dees in general copping so much shit from opposition supporters is due to the fact that certain MFC posters feel the need to pump up every single kid of your list while talking shit about other clubs' players.. and it isn't limited to the Bay.

I personally hope Watts goes ok, I've got him on my supercoach bench.

Interesting to see Rich poll so few votes.

No love for Hartlett?

Every game he's played has been all class. Just needs to get over his ijury issues.

True, but we need to see that on a more consistent basis (obviously injury affects this) - most of the other first rounders in the '08 class have managed to string consistent games of good footy together and thus should be rated higher.
