Would you pick Hurley or Watts?
By Mark Robinson
ONE club is patiently waiting. The other club is privately salivating. Jack Watts was taken No.1 in the 2008 draft. Michael Hurley was taken No. 5 in the same draft. Unquestionably, if that draft was held tomorrow, everyone bar Melbourne officialdom would select Hurley before Watts as their power forward.It's too early to claim it a draft blunder by the Demons. Just. AFL great Dermott Brereton would take Hurley, too - at this stage - but argues Watts will be a formidable force when he matures."In body shape Hurley is very good but Watts is capable of being better," Brereton said.
