Watts???

[Tarkyn_24]

Thoughts on this guy, will he play much, had pretty big wraps last year.

Also, Riewoldt, will he be good to go next week? My SC captain, and he didn;t play...

Yes word is Riewoldt will play against the Lions. Watts, imo I really like the guy, will be a good player for us indeed. Is a little injured atm, I think ankle problem atm or something. He will possibly play some games later in the season.

I'm not sure how much game time Watts will get if he does play, we are incredibly blessed in our tall forward stocks. Injuries will play a big part in deciding if he plays and how much

Watts is the obvious successor to Gehrig, but until Frase goes he doesn't really fit into the best 22. I'd have him fifth in line of tall forwards, when fit:

1 Riewoldt
2 Gehrig
3 Koschitzke
4 Hamill
5 Watts
6 Gardiner
7 Brooks
8 Wall
9 Sweeney

But that said, if Riewoldt doesn't get up for Saturday, and Kos has to play back on Brown, then there's a spot for someone - Brooksy will probably get up for it, I'd say, but Ferg would without doubt if fit.

Fergus is a long term prospect. He's had an awful run with injuries since joining the club and he's still not over his current foot injury so I don't think we'll be seeing him much this season. At least not until the second half of the season at the very earliest.
