Another reason why I don't like the player comparisons, Cyril was never a goal first player. He only had a ping when it was the best available opportunity. Love what Watson's doing but he's averaging those shots because he's taken a ping almost every time the opportunity presented itself, hence the inaccuracy.View attachment 2058904
Incredible that he's having a more direct scoreboard opportunities than Cyril.
If he had 0.8 behinds per game like Cyril, he'd be averaging 1.7 goals per game.
Amazing rookie season.
This kid is a star.
If Watson stays injury free like Cyril couldn't, every chance he has a better career, and he almost definitely kicks more goals, but there are very few people close to as complete as Cyril was for his position in Year 1 in the AFL.
I think if the past few weeks are an indicator Watson is every chance of getting there, don't reckon he's close to the same overall impact yet.
