(Reserves player)
Former East Fremantle junior Nick Watson spent four seasons with West Coast's standalone reserves side.
West Coast career[]
Watson played two senior games for East Fremantle in 2018, before spending the next two seasons with the Sharks' reserves. He crossed to South Fremantle in 2021 but only played one reserves game, spending the rest of the year with North Fremantle in the amateur league. Watson was included in the Eagles' reserves side for the final round of the 2021 season, backing up Daniel Borgogno in the ruck against his old side South Fremantle. He was named in the squad for the 2022 season and played seven games as a defender and occasional ruckman.
Watson progressed to be a regular in 2023, playing almost every game, but with AFL players available more often in 2024 he found himself on the outer, making just one appearance despite being regularly named in extended sides. He spent most of the year with North Fremantle, playing in the Magpies' B-Grade premiership.
