Reminds me of Ben McGlynn. Hope he ends up better.

Have never ever considered a likeness to Ben McGlynn in regards to his playing style.

I see Hayden Ballantyne

I think it’s the speed and tackling pressure that reminds me of Mighty Mouse McGlynn.

[cryptor]

Knew he’d kick the hard one

 

[SpanishBrowne]

to every single wiz doubter on this thread.. how’s dem apples.

 

[matey]

The kid is going to be a gun!

 

[christoff91]

7 score involvements today. Loved his game.

[Judd2Sewell]

He doesn't need many touches to have a real impact on the game.

He needs to nail set shots like the one he missed, which you'd expect will come.

 

[The Chad and I]

Watson is killing it.
I did not expect such a high level from him in his first 5 games.

Keep in mind he had quite a nasty little injury for 4-5 weeks.

 

[Flamin Joe]

A little highlight for me was when he went for that leap on the wing, came crashing down then sprung back onto his feet in an instant to get back in the contest.

Dare I say it but I had a little flashback to Cyril.

I don't think for a second he'll reach those heights but boy he's going to be exciting in years to come.

15 shots on goal over 5 games (3 per game)
4.10

He’ll get there.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Should of kicked 4…

His going very well

 

[Kanga Commando]

I liked the way he was willing to get into Rohan Marshall.

Shots per minute would be an interesting stat, if anyone could be bothered to work it out.

 

[Hodgey 15]

He's not there yet but I can almost guarantee he's going to be my one of my favourite Hawks players.

[SSSSSS]

He is an absolute ripper.

Impact per disposal is off the charts.

 

[KermitJagger]

1 shot per 16.75 minutes

I’m trying really hard not to say he plays like Cyril as to temper expectations but gee whiz

No one plays like Cyril but you can certainly see where there are slight similarities. He has great closing speed, good defensive instincts.

He will likely never be as selfless as Cyril was and is proving a fair bit less reliable in front of goal. Cyril was an absolute dead eye. If he can get even 80% of Cyril he'll be one of the best small forwards of all time.

 

[CobberRodgers]

I’ve got a 2 year old screaming Wizard at the TV.

I’m here for the Wizard era.

Wowee.

The pound for pound strength factor Id like to throw in

This is also true. Grip strength for days, some massive units couldn't free their arms from a Cyril tackle.
