First half review – Shane Watson

"'Waitey' has been a little bit up and down. He kicked seven goals against the Brisbane Lions, but he's had a couple of quiet little patches in terms of output on the scoreboard.

"If you said you'd get 19 goals out of Jarrad in the first 12 weeks, you'd almost take that, but the more pleasing thing is that he's been able to play all but one game.

"People would've questioned his durability when we got him because he's averaged about 16 games for the last five years, but he's almost there already."

Second half review – Shane Watson

“He found his consistency in the second half of the year.

“Even when he wasn’t producing a massive amount on the scoreboard, his defensive game was really pleasing.

“He chased, tackled, and did a lot of the hard stuff and then got his reward by kicking goals.

“His first couple of finals were really good.”
