Is it just me, or is Jobe Watson, not up to AFL football.

Surely someone as slow as him, who cant hit a target would never have been drafted if it wasnt for his Dads career. I have thought he was ordinary for a while but last night against the Bulldogs i felt he was really exposed. Made countless mistakes by hand and foot resulting in turnovers at crucial times.

Any other opinions?

An essendon mate of mine said the other day, with this new game plan and the pace in the team Jobe Watson doesnt seem so slow anymore!

A useful player, some of the time. Would be getting close to his last chance and possibly would be gone if not for the family connection.
