From The Advertiser:
Fuller was quietly content with Crows draftee Fergus Watts' senior SANFL debut at full forward, although the youngster was run ragged by Sturt full back Matthew Smith, often taking him to the Eagles' full back line.
Smith stretch Watts' endurance to breaking point and the Eagles responded by benching him to preserve the AFL hppeful for greater things.
"He certainly enjoyed the run," Fuller said. "He aspires to play AFL level so he's got to take the transition but I thought he acquitted himself pretty well. It's hard work for him as Smith does run from the backline but Fergus shows he plays accountable football and that was a good sign for us as well. He just needs to get cleaner and work on his one takes and his awareness but when he gets fitter he'll be a lot better player."

I think that AFL game is going to be put on hold for a while if bloody Matthew Smith can run him ragged...
