What is the story with this guy? He looks like he could be a ripper.

What is the story with this guy? He looks like he could be a ripper.

Stock standard story really. Drafted out of Claremont.

 

[tenderwarrior]

Oh okay, cheers. As he is Category B I thought that had to be somebody outside of the normal pathway.

Yeah, I was just being a smart arse.

Another BIG game from Watto in the WAFL. Odds on to debut very soon if this form continues another week or 2.
Averaging 25 touches, predominantly off the half back

Watson upgraded from Cat-B rookie to Cat-A rookie this off-season, meaning he can be selected at any point this coming season
