How is it that Watts gets pilloried by all and sundry yet Patton has completely flown under the radar????

Watts beats him in every key stat yet you would think from the coverage that he is completely useless. Patton has hardly a word written or spoken about him.

Hmmmmm

Because MFC has been going for 150 years and GWS is in its first year and therefore everything in respect to GWS is forgiven.

Apart from when we rushed him in against Collingwood and he got beaten up did the media touch Watts in his first season? Don't think so. Wait until Patton has played 30/40 games then compare.

I thought this thread had to be about Scully.

Watts gets the scrutiny because he's in Victoria.

David Swallow, now Tom Scully and Jonathan Patton.

Out of sight, out of mind

Maybe it's not to do with numbers but the way they attack the ball that worries some & pleases others. Pointers of the future.

re member cale.

It has to do with highlight reel stuff, no matter what your stat is if you take a hangar or goal of the year, you are a superstar.

Not watts fault
