Pre Game - Round 13 - Blues v Suns

[PassIt2Carrots]

I'm tipping you mean Ellard considering Watson hasn't been given a proper go this year?

'Proper'.  ???

What i saw from Watson this year was one of THE worst performances by a footballer in navy blue ever.

Many can argue that the ball didn't get near him.
Being at the game, i argue that he refused to put it in any effort to get near the ball.

He has played below average in probably 17 of his 20 games thus far.

Still hasn't been given a proper go this year. Ellard has. It's a blight on the club that ellard is still on our list after 8 years of not making it and even now is about to get another game. Just disgraceful.

We've got a long history of having duds on our list for years and years, Hampson was on our list for 7 and Ellard is twice the footballer he is.
Watson just isn't any good PI2C, when he's delisted at the end of this year he'll probably wind up back in the EDFL.

I don't think Watson will make it either....
But he hasn't been given a 'proper' go this year.

It may have been the worst performance in navy Blue ever :o (think that's a slight exaggeration Kruds ;D)....but he only got 57% of a game to set that record...no chance of redemption.

So he went from a player who really "needed a bit of self belief to show what he could do" in the last game of 2014.
He was then passed over for a recruit who gave us very little in the early part of the year but who perhaps needed to be played to justify his recruitment.
He was then given half a game in arguably our worst performance of the season.
He's then become a regular multiple goal scorer at VFL level

He probably should get one last crack.
Worst case... he shows nothing and we delist at the end of the year.
Better case....he shows something another club thinks it can use.

Best case.....cements a spot in the side and becomes a premiership player. ;D

I was going to put that... but I'm not sure even I believe it ;D

[madbluboy]

The reason Ellard gets a game and Watson can't is because he's simply a better footballer.

Probably at another club......... :

Only joking.

Firstly, the reason he had SFA game time is because he was subbed out because he was useless and giving no effort.
Secondly, if he has been so hard done by in his time at the club, don't you think he would show a bit more heart and effort once he gets out there?

That is why i said it was the worst game ever....i should have stipulated 'from what i have seen' in there and i stand by that. I don't think i ever saw Simpsons first 3 games, but i'm tipping he put in more effort than Watto ever did.

With Watto there is a lot of 'just 1 more crack' and ultimately we are left disappointed. How many 1 more cracks do we give him?
