If the sprint doesn't indicate speed, then what does it?
Watt may have speed, I'm not disputing that.

But if you are seriously basing it around a GF sprint..........:eek:

Speed in games is all that matters. Grand Final sprints are meaningless.

Josh Gibson played on Buddy in the Elimination final and beat him.

Watt is VERY slow. Family friends of mine are Roos supporters and constantly bag his speed.

He's not the solution to our problems. I hate Saddington and i still prefer him over Watt.

Next.

Not that i want Watt or anything but i think u will find he is one of the quickest blokes at the Roos, its just his decsion making can be very poor....

He isnt a hack....North fans used to bag him non-stop (including myself) but that was mainly because he was played at FB on the gorillas every week. Got completely carved up. This year he has played more as a sweeper and link man and has been fantastic. I would very much doubt that he would be let go, and that would only be because Laidley plans on blooding players like Riggio into the seniors in a similar role. Gibson is also probably competing for Watts role.
Watt is also very fast. I wouldnt be listening to anything otherwise. Definately his greatest strength considering his size. To me his biggest problems have been that he was prone to panicking too much and would fumble, put teammates under pressure or give away free kicks. He can be quite reactive at times which for a Full-back was not very good as he gave 5m headstarts constantly.

Im a believer in Watt now though. He has improved significantly in all areas.

Would be a MASSIVE step backwards IMO. He is shocking. He is Fev's bunny. Has absolutely NO football ability at all. Big and fast? Who cares?

HE CANNOT PLAY. God I have Stephen O'Reilly and Mick Martyn flashbacks.

Put Paul Bower on steriods and tell these duds to f*&k off.

But are you people serious???

He is an absolute dud.....poor skills and disposal. :thumbsdown:

The stupidity of people staggers me. Blue Dimension, WTF are you on? On what basis are you making the claim that Shannon Watt is slow?

To make this ludicrous assertion, it is evident that you must have never watched him play. Therefore, how can you consider yourself sufficiently informed to pass comment? If you don't know anything about a player, which in this circumstance is clearly the case, why bother saying anything at all?

Watt is quick. Very quick, in fact, for a bloke his size.

Having said that, I nearly choked on my breakfast this morning when I read that we were interested in him (which I agree, as was pointed out earlier in this thread, is the Hun merely selecting uncontracted players at random and is not actually an indication of real interest).

He's not a smart footballer, we can do better.

The Blues still have their policy that they will not recruit anyone over the age of 24 (lucky Judd is only 24)
Shannon Grant is 27 in November.
Where do you all get these ideas from. The Blues are on a rebuilding plan with "young players"

You're a dick mate.

He's the quickest at the Kangaroos over 20m.

Don't speak if you don't know what you're speaking about.


Watt is a better defender than we currently have, though I don't know anything we would give up for him or the Roos would want.

You're a moron. All this is, is the HS pulling names out of a hat because these guys are out of contract. There's no substance to it whatsoever. So what are you going on about?

He's on about how rubbish a player Shannon Watt is and how stupid it would be to pick up a player like him.

Two things.

1) Shannon Watt is simply not slow. There is a reason he was in last year GF sprint. He is actually quite quick.

2) Shannon Watt is an absolute spud of a footballer. I mean complete spud of a footballer. It would just be a completely stupid decision by our club
