Just listening to RooRadio (another 3 votes to Roofus! Cheers buddy!!) and Tim Harrington was asked by a caller about our backline and who will take over from Mick.
I know we have discussed this bloke ad nauseum, but Harrington mentioned that Shannon Watt was a project player who is being groomed for the fullback possy by being played on the opposition's best forward in the ressies to give him the necessary grounding to learn the position.
I guess that perhaps tells us he'll be on the list next year, although i'm still not convinced he'll evolve into a quality key defender. But by learning the position, i think the up-side will perhaps be in that it might improve his ability to play as a more intelligent forward in the long run (if that makes sense)
