Fergus Watts

[Optimax]

Now that fraser is gone you'l need Watts to stand up, I was impressed by what i heard of him when you traded for him and since i think he broke his leg? terribly. I was just wondering howhe was going and whether it'll be him or blake that take frasers spot at in the forward line next year

Too slow for modern footy.

Similar to Anthony Rocca but with more guts and courage.

Strong hands and a reliable kick though. Kicked bags in the VFL late in the year.

thats tight as a young man he never took his eyes off the ball, Watts maybe very good in that area but bagging rocca like that is stupid, in fact it had nothing to do with the thread at all apart from the fact im a collingwood supporter

Blake's not really a forward. Barry Brooks is the only other real candidate for a vacant forward slot.

I have a good feeling about Fergus Watts, I dont know why, maybe I like the idea of two reiwaults on the 50m arch. Imagine

Watts will only play if we don't have a decent ruckman next year. He is simply too slow and lumbering to have in the side unless he is a primary goalkicker. If Kosi is needed in the ruck then I can see Watts getting a go at FF, but if Gardiner comes up or we trade for a ruckman, I doubt we will see much of Watts. The only things he can do are take marks and kick goals. Can't run up the ground effectively or play any other positions.

At the moment I think Brooks would be ahead of him. Brooks performed better as a forward at Casey and is capable of playing stints in the ruck. Also much more mobile than Watts.
