Obviously you watch footy without seeing what happens out on the ground then.
For a guy of his size Steph is super quick and that's just a fact. No point arguing it.
But I agree he's not the best choice for Goodes unless he stays forward for the whole day, which is very unlikely.
Spot on. According to the stats our forward line was much more productive than Essendon's in that game.
And against Adeliade Stef Martin and Watts were outnumbered 2 or 3 to 1 on most occassions in the forward 50 because the delivery was so roughshod, Moloney and Jones roosting 60 metres rainmakers in there.
Watts will play round 1.
1 We can't play decent footy at Etihad Stadium
2 Essendon are treating the NAB Cup like a home and away finals series
3 Maric's ability to finish is nothing short of sublime.
Jack Watts is an excellent set shot. Yes, he struggles a little from outside 40 as he doesn't kick through it as naturally, but I'm sure he'll sort that very quickly.
Shaky start early last year (at one stage he put 3 out of bounds on the full from 5 kicks if I recall correctly) but has settled nicely. Love the way he plays.
Just announced it.
