Recruited From

  Werribee 1994 Preseason draft pick 14, first pick.
Honours  

Leading goal kicker 1996 with 44 goals. Premiership player & B&F with Werribee 1993.

                                 

  Initially paced on a the back-line but in 1996 was placed in the forward pocket and started to kick bags of goals. He could lead well into space and also mark well.
He kicked two bags of 6 goals, one against Adelaide and the other against Fitzroy.    In 1995 he took a chance and won the game for us against Fremantle at the Western Oval.

In 1996 he triumphed at Full-forward and if delivery to him was better he would have kicked more goals. He got the FF position ahead of other notable forwards such as Alan Jackovich and James Cook.

He was injured in a night game. Tackled/crunched when kicking for goal he twisted his ankle and rolled it. That was when he was last seen. For one reason or another we didn't see the best of this player.

Wattsy, I salute you!
   
Went on to play for Eastlake Football Club.
