We need him.

Can you imagine Sheezel, Zurhaar, Curtis & Watson roaming at Chom & Larkeys feet?

What’s the record score again

Zip isn't really an apt description for him.

Rapid is probably better.

Most of our "small" forwards are all taller marking types that are decent crumbers.

Watson is very much in the Milne/Cameron mould of an electric crumbing forward.

However, as you have seen in some video's, Watson is a game breaker further up the field also. He's not limited to the goal square.

He sits very much in the "generational in his position, so you pick him no matter how many you have"

Colby McKercher and Reece Torrent sound familiar. Good size already. Likely types.

 

[Horace]

Ahh, didn't realise he was a FS. thank you.

Who is his father?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Is McKercher NGA, GR?

Nice of Corey and Glenn to co-parent an adopted child.

He’d need to be absolutely lightning at that size and weight to play at this level.

Luckily he is.

I don't think there would be an AFL defender that could go with him in space.

 

[JGreezy]

If Comben is even just a reliable CHF this year and we draft Caddy and Watson then the forward line talent would be looking really decent and a good balance.

Larkey
Comben
Caddy
Zurhaar
George
Sheezel
Curtis
Watson

Is Caddy a BFNAAK?

 

[Shermanator]

Is Caddy a BFNAAK?

Like his big uncle Josh?..

Ol’ unc loved us as a kid but hated us in the end.

 

[czero]

Who is his father?

Mr Reid?

I don't know, just assumed that from the response I got.

 

[Horace]

Mr Reid?

Presumably. I just wanted to know who the Geelong footballer was who had the family name, Reid. Doesn't ring any bells for me.

 

[RobZombie]

Nick Curtin = The Beef

Nick Curtin = The Twitcher.

 

[King Corey]

Watson sounds like Rankine.

 

[Sphynx]

Watson sounds like Rankine.

He's on that level of pace/trickery/agility at the same age.

And Rankine is without a doubt one of the most talented u/18's we've seen in 20+ years.

Where as Isaac more liked to play games with some players.

Watson is an absolute pest and likes to win. Milne/Boomer style.

He's extremely tough for his size, loves to throw himself around, pinball into players, loves burying players in tackles etc.

He's an arrogant little prick, the type of player every opposition club will absolutely loathe, but the side that drafts him is going to love.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

For you guys, Nate Caddy is the great-grandson of John Reeves.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Luckily he is.

I don't think there would be an AFL defender that could go with him in space.

Not to mention his footy IQ is through the roof. It’s pretty rare when he doesn’t find himself in the right position.

And his skill is bloody good too. Nice kick and a penetrating kick for a kid his size.

If we had drafted him this year I’d be pretty confident he’d be playing round 1 2023 as a 17 year old. Could only say that about Watson & Harley Reid at this stage.

Looking this far out - how High do you reckon could go in the draft
A guy that shirt doesn’t usually get taken in the top 10

Isn’t there another grandson of reeves on here

There's a relo but I don't remember the user name.

Yep, we’ll known the Caddy’s as being a big North family.

His old man Saul (who is a legend of the Northern Footy League) is a North fanatic and good mates with Boomer Harvey.

Nate was at Boomers house on the second night of the draft for when Coopers name was read out.
