Cameron Bruce and Jack Watts

[Bobby McKenzie 2,401]

Both were the scapegoats on this forum. Bruce for his disposal despite his gut running and high possession count and Watts for his lack of gut running despite his sublime skills.

How would a combination of the two go? Imagine if Jack could start winning the ball like Bruce did. He would be an absolute gun. Here's hoping!

Woohoo a Jack Watts thread, been waiting for one of these!

Great, another Cameron Bruce thread.

I hope you are right Bobby, but i can never see it happening. That aside, I dont think Watts will get anywhere near the player Cameron Bruce was.

both pretty well outside players, bobby

cam was better at 1:1 contested possession

a conbo would certainly be a good improvement and create a top outside player

I don't give a stuff about his skills - I loved Cameron Bruce. Sensational player in his prime.

Don't you mean Jack Bruce. I would've used Cam Watts but .....nah

Yes, he probably would be a good player because Cameron Bruce had a putrid kicking technique and Watts is soft as butter.

Sadly, getting any player who can get his own ball and use it well is not as easy as we would like. We seem to either get James Strauss or Jordie McKenzie.

His skills were not as bad as some made out Wise, Cameron was a far better player than some give him credit for, who could forget the day he kicked 7 against Carlton.

[ManDee 7,319]

With our luck he would kick like Cam Bruce and contest the ball like Jack Watts.

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

Not sure I understand the point of this thread.

You're saying that two scapegoated players' weaknesses are the inverse of each other and if we could somehow combine them then we'd have a great player?

Have you built some kind of skill merging device that makes this possible?

Can't wait to see your Frankenfyfe.

Insert joke about cream of the crop or a player who danced to the beat of his own drum

Bobby I would much prefer if you did a Lazarus. Tough, dash, take no prisoners, and can kick goals. You might be a bit light on so you will need plenty of gym work to strengthen your bones and restore your muscles.

Although Bruce started to get his kicks in row K in the Great Southern Stand towards the end of his career, he's one player who had the ability to get the pill consistently.

He would have to be the Cream of the crop... coming from a low bass. having said that, a combination of Jack Watts and Cameron Bruce would be a Strange Brew indeed.

Edit: Curses... I just noticed binman's post... still, great minds...

what about.. Chopper Lovell and.... Jack Fitzpatrick

what a player

[nutbean 8,838]

I like the idea of combining Cale Morton, Paul Johnson and Addam Maric - you would have had a tall,short, fat, skinny bloke who couldn't get near the ball

[binman 44,530]

what a player

Or Henry Coles and big Carl

[praha 11,253]

Bruce was a solid player in a good team. He buckled and turned to mash when we played poorly. Really, he was just another one of our "good but not great" players that are severely overrated by some on this forum.

[What 18,810]

That Bruce kid from the Saints is looking pretty damn good. What a steal he was in the draft

Henry Coles was a gun! He was one of the best.

What is that avatar you are wearing SoNS? It reminds me of a photoshopped image I have somewhere of Lee Harvey Oswald just as he was shot... they photoshopped a microphone into his hand and various musical instruments amongst the security surrounding him...
