Watts, Barry, Trengove and Farrell all put their hands up.

Going to be a tough week for selection.

Im in the Ebert for Watts camp

Ebert's size and massive tank would make him the ideal halfback sweeper now that his replacements in midfield have names like 'Rockliff' and 'Wingard' and 'Powell-Pepper' rather than Ah Chee, S Gray and White.
 
Everyone seems pretty bullish on Watts in. Did he jag a few today?

Any details Monty?
Got 3 goals, could have had 5. Also played a third of the game leading up the wing as well as playing a bit down back.
 
He kicked 3.2, had 17 touches and looked really good. Credit to him, if he comes back in he has to play like he did today for the Maggies.

Good on him.
 
Marshall wasn't good after 1/4 time, but realistically he wasn't going to be 100% straight away. The temptation is to bring Watts in against his old side and is backed up by his 3 goals against Sturt today, but dropping a proven talent after his first game back is pretty rough. Is there room for both in the same side? Possible, but the Hoff will have to play up the ground more. Hard week to be a selector

Round 1 against Freo showed we can fit Watts, Marshall and Hoff in the same side. We looked like a well oiled machine until Ryder got injured.

We managed to beat Sydney without Ryder the week after but after that we started getting exposed when we moved Dixon and Hoff out of position.

Plus he showed more intent to attack the footy. That's what I wanted to see from him, he plays like that every week in the AFL side he will shine. We all know he has the talent.

That’s great to hear. We all know that he’ll never be a brute like Dixon but if he can add some more intent as you say he’ll be a great contributor for us. And with the Demons coming up what a week to start hey?!

It took him an entire quarter to get another touch after the applause, the moment clearly got to him.
Q1: 9:48 - 10:30 Disposal, Behind
Q1: 10:57 - 11:34 Disposal, Behind
Q1: 12:15 Contested Possession/One Percenter
Applause begins
Q1: 13:10 - Disposal.

Q2: 14:11 Disposal.

I yelled out to him and said that he was going great and too good for SANFL. He looked at me and gave me a thumbs up.

I have achieved everything in life

Perfect week to start for him. I reckon today was just what he needed, same as Rocky and SPP when they went back. Hopefully today is a sign of things to come.
 
Tough decisions for the club. 24 into 22 won’t go.
