Retired # 4: Jobe Watson - Now coach at Xavier College 28/11

Vision and execution...

 

[rumply]

Jobe's 100th game as captain coming up this week, great game to achieve that in.

 

[daffo]

Best game of the year.

 

[Andronicus]

Was a big round for captains.

Hodge, Swallow and Watson all had huge games. Probably others as well, but they stood out straight away.

Add Selwood to that list(last qtr)

This stuff really grinds my gears..... Media jumping onto these boys as a great news story now but months ago wanted them to burn and suffer

"His Brownlow Medal was the symbol of that controversial year, as baying critics called for it to be ripped from his grasp and handed back to the AFL."

Baying critics like yourself, Jon? The same critic that openly called us drug cheats on twitter? **** off with the puff pieces mate.

Hahah Jon Ralph has changed his tune since the non guilt verdict i wonder if any more will do the same.

Unless Ralph can't hear himself or read anything he writes. Which would explain a lot.

Maybe he's talking about Tim "Integrity" Lane.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Will be interesting to see Brownlow votes considering Heppell is dominating games too now.

 

[Highly Evolved]

Fantastic effort to captain 100 games, but I thought he would have (hopefully) played a better game.

 

[Doss]

I love Jobe- but he was average today. Very.

 

[HirdyLannister]

He looked sore/injured.

 

[efcboy]

Looked flat today - perhaps emotions overplayed.

 

[Coldacre]

our entire midfield was crap today. Jobe, Hepp, BJ, Stants, Melk..... they all did one or two things ok as individuals, but as team mates they were horse shite.

average game from Jobe, but a bad game from everyone in the wet.

Stants and hepp were excellent I thought

 

[Coldacre]

Stants and hepp were excellent I thought

Stants was good in the second quarter, had a purple patch for 10 minutes. but overall nothing special.

Hepp, racked up a heap of possies and had a woeful 50% disposal efficiency. quantity over quality.

our midfield was not good today. our back line once again kept us in it. Hooker & Hurls way better

Credit needs to go to Jack Crisp for his job on Jobe.

 

[Blind Turn]

Jobe was noticeably limping gingerly back to the centre square a few times. Wasn't able to make it to the contest like he normally would which gave a fit, young bloke like Crisp the chance to run forward off him.

 

[Coldacre]

Jobe wasn't great today, but I tell you what.... when we got a run on in the second quarter, he did some amazing work in tight. lightning reaction and handballing.

The commentators made a comment in relation to him looking injured in the 2nd quarter (I think). They speculated on a corky or even an issue with his hip flexor

 

[Big Fresh]

It's annoying that he often doesn't just kick it when he finds himself with time and space. He waits and handballs and it usually doesn't work that well.

 

[OzBomber]

The booing of Jobe by Collingwood fans was disgusting. They really need to get over the verdict.

They really need to remember that two of their own could be in big trouble. I guess some people just don't have a clue in life, unfortunately.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

They were booing Fletcher as well.
