Analysis Is Watson done, injured or cooked?

[frenchfri12]

Watson's last 5 or 6 games have been really average. If he wasn't the captain, I doubt he'd be in the side. Is he done for his career? Is he injured? Or is he just cooked from all this WADA stuff?

 

[yodellinhank]

I thought he might be done. But the recent article about CAS getting dragged out even longer probably explains a lot. Maybe he still has a year left in him, hopefully one clear of all this bullshit. But it wouldn't surprise me if he can't make it back, hasn't got a yard of pace to lose and inside heavy lifters tend to burn out quicker than your other types.

Based on how long he'd been playing like this, I thought he was done as well. But

Offered both injured and cooked. Nothing to say he isn't done either. Didn't he say he was considering retiring, or was that just giving up captaincy?

Stop making threads with stupid polls.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Poll is missing "Hird's fault".

 

[Coldacre]

Poll is missing "poorly coached"

Clearly affected by the investigation like the rest of the team....

 

[Coldacre]

Watson's last 5 or 6 games have been really average. If he wasn't the captain, I doubt he'd be in the side.

so the guy has played 200 games, is a club legend, a Brownlow medalist and an Anzac Day champ. on the back of 5 or 6 games, you doubt he'd be in the side.

just want to clarify that that's what you truly think.....

dosen't matter who you are, if you haven't been preforming for 4 or 5 games in a row, you need to be in the reserves, like Goodes was earlier.

Cant drop all 22.

bollocks.

15 of our guys haven't been PRE-forming for the last 8 weeks.

your answer is to put them all in the reserves. genius stuff.

 

[the PILL]

I dont know but its a dramatic change in his demeanour... I hope he bounces back.

I already suggested this over 24 hours ago.

you're hard to understand

so you think that 22 players need to be dropped to the reserves then?

or you think that's unreasonable, but somehow our Captain and best player needs to be dropped because of his poor form the last 6 weeks? while the rest keep playing seniors footy?

 

[Jobe Watson]

How are people still debating whether he is injured or not?

It's been evident he's been hurt since at least the Fremantle game. He missed a week due to injury. He can barely run out there.

Needs to be rested now that our season is over. He may be hating footy but surely having him out there picking up 10 useless possessions can't be helping him.

but all of this pales in comparison to the damage his coach has inflicted in the last 6 weeks.

lets get that straight.

Because he doesn't look physically impeded in anyway? He did after ANZAC Day for a few weeks, but he looks fine now.

Besides, if you cross the white line you're fair game. Everyone knows that.

 

[Howard Moon]

you dont play your best inside midfielder as a perma forward if hes 100% fighting fit

reaks of tbell all over again

This can be discussed in Jobe's perfectly suitable player thread, that doesn't have a bizarre poll attached.
