Waterman is really interesting. Obviously missed a lot of development because of glandular fever, but even when he got back to WAFL level he had significant time out with broken ribs. He really has only had one preseason and regular games with us at the top level.

Cox, Perkins, Reid blah blah aside, I think we can be genuinely excited about the kind of player Waterman could be next year if he's able to get another full pre-season. He's powerful through the legs and core, and I didn't realise his original position when drafted was as an inside mid. Maybe coaches / Dodo with an eye to understudy in the Jake Stringer

Most of the VFL games I’ve seen him play is as an inside mid and he seems to do quite well. If he gets a full preseason into him watch out

 

[SydneyBomber]

Looking forward to seeing him next year after a solid preseason. Seems to be very dependable in terms of goalkicking accuracy (I have no stat's to back this, just perception from watching games) and think he might prove a very astute pickup

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

 

[The Donners]

He needs a big pre-season to cement a his place in the side. If we have a half-decent run of injuries there’ll be strong competition for spots.

We need to talk about the consecutive fifties….

I say this in good humour……one of the dumbest things I have ever seen on a footy field.

Yeah that was bad, but apart from that I thought he was really good.

First one was stiff they pay that 1/20 times

It was comically dumb….it was funny.

He played well, it was just a crazy brain fade.

The stupidest part was the umpire failing to call "Play on" before the second one when the magpie player ran about three steps off his line.

Lucky he kicked four. Langford will happily pass the mantle.

Ah, no. He no doubt would have called play on, if Waterman wasn't running where he should not have. Clearest 50 you'll ever see (unless his name is Lance Franklin).
Anyway, brain fade, he played well otherwise, we move on.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Heard him compared to Calthorpe and others but Crameri is who comes to mind to me as well (maybe not as quick?) for body shape, size and strength...I like that point of difference up forward. And the accuracy of his kicks is impressive.

Play on is play on. You can tackle somebody once its play on if you like.

 

[Towno78]

Dude, he was well and truly inside the protected zone when he tried to play on. By a mile. The infringement happened first. And just like you said, he hadn't called play on yet, so no, you can't tackle him.

The first he might get away with, the second is an easy 50.

He doesn't have to stand while the other guy runs his 50. The Magpie used his mario star up once he ran 3 steps off the line.

???
I think you need to re watch the replay. No one was running a 50, it came after a mark. And Waterman ran through his protected space well before he took any steps off the line.
Anyway, this discussion is not worth any more of my time.

 

[Scottie65]

Waterman gets fit and strong he can tag team with stringer swapping midfield and forward ...they are both big units and can both be extremely affective as that inside midfield bull ... I really like Alex ... the lad can play

Yeah, you don't understand.

Love this bloke

 

[Beerfish]

I really like Alex

What about Alec?

 

[Duckworth]

"4 snags and 2 50s against the pies" by my rough Maths, that equalled 3 goals.

 

[Don Won]

What about Alec?

Like in the smart one?

Yeah yeah I’m sure u understood what I meant ...
