Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Nick 'the Wizard' Watson! Rising star Nom!

[threesixpio]

His a great contested mark for his size also.

Great leap. Is familiar somehow…

Best forward line ever.
Even when Buddy left we put Hale in there w decent numbers.

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Which one of the two recent multi-premiership wining small forwards does our new prodigiously talented small forward resemble. #HawthornProblems

Funny you say that, back while a go, a west coast coiterie said that we actually did unders to me, as much as that sounds ridiculous coming off a threepeat! We were a Roughead away from taking out 2016! We won 17-5 without him!!

Throw dogs needed a flag + Isaac’s miss. Otherwise blardy hell

We only had that line-up for 2 years and we got a runners up, and premiership. It Absolutely should have been 2 premierships though. 2012 was a disaster, we were much better than Sydney them but blew it.

 

[BIGHAWK23]

Will tear them apart this week

Revenge game

 

[KermitJagger]

I think I've also seen enough of his physicality and contested work at AFL level to be confident that his future includes significant midfield time.

Could be a more athletic Lachie Neale.

For sure. I think when you're that small you are quite an easily exploited match up in general play, but Wiz is good enough and explosive enough to make up the difference. I'd still worry going into a centre bounce if I saw him shoulder to shoulder with a Bontempelli, say, but for any of the reasonable non-KPF sized mids I wouldn't lose any sleep.

Would have to be used sparingly though, maximum impact without giving the opposition a chance to prepare for him.

 

[threesixpio]

One thing that is Cyrilly (sorry TheFourPillars ) is his pound for pound strength a’ la what Lake said about Cyril

The Wiz is a Farkn golden nugget

 

[threesixpio]

He hurts people

 

[birch]

He is so, so close to destroying a game. Love him

 

[Judd2Sewell]

He had two awesome crumbing goals.

He should have kicked another, but he decided to do that nonsense around the body kick when he was surely in normal set-shot range.

 

[BlueWaterHawk]

Feels like we got the #1 pick watching Nick today, he's ridiculously good.

 

[The Chad and I]

Amazing how 3 goals in a game doesn’t have us drooling.

Watson has had +40 scoring shots this season when you include BH.

Kid is a star.

 

[satan1]

A preseason beating the creativity out of his set shot routine and he is an AA lock next year.

 

[RCAB]

He had two awesome crumbing goals.

He should have kicked another, but he decided to do that nonsense around the body kick when he was surely in normal set-shot range.

Before the game, was ranked in the top 15 in the league for crumbs.

He may end up being the first small forward in history to reach 700 goals.

 

[Gaston]

The goal at the city end (when he slipped over) is even better, when you consider he was on the wing when the play going forward commenced.
Kid is a gun.

 

[MillerHawk]

His repeat burst efforts are incredible for a first year player, watched him come off absolutely spent multiple times only to return to the field and do it all again. Wiz has that fierce will to compete found in champions.

 

[checkraiseulite]

already my favourite player.

 

[Dont_be_a_Plonka]

Three goals, one poster, that abomination from the boundary that Chol marked plus one more that fell short.. I feel I'm missing another but regardless.

That's another game with six shots plus on goal.

His inaccuracy is barely hiding what an absolute ****ing gun this kid is.
