One of the most scrutinised players in the AFL, Watts enjoyed a fine season in 2011, finishing ninth in the best and fairest, kicking 21 goals and playing every game. Started the season slowly and was a substitute player in round four, but began to emerge mid-season after occasionally being thrown into defence. Watts reads the play brilliantly, moves excellently for a big man and his work rate is good. He will benefit from another pre-season, building his body. Once he learns how to use it, he will be very damaging.

Draft history: 2008 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (Melbourne) No. 1 overall.
