Matthew Watson (born 16 July 1992^[1]) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Background

Watson plays primarily as a tall defender. Originally from Victoria, Watson attended and played school football for Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School in Pascoe Vale. He played TAC Cup football for the Calder Cannons. He represented Vic Metro at the 2008 AFL National Under 16 Championships^[2] and 2010 AFL National Under 18 Championships, where he was selected as a defender in the Under 18 All-Australian team.^[3]

Watson was recruited by the Carlton Football Club with its first round selection in the 2010 AFL National Draft (number 18 overall). He was given the number 10 guernsey.^[4] He made his AFL debut in Carlton's Round 2 match against Gold Coast, the first game played by the new Gold Coast franchise.^[5]

Watson quickly became known for his long, accurate left-footed kicks out of defence, and as a result, Carlton fans shout "woof!" whenever Watson kicks the ball. Watson is the fourth long-kicking left-footed Carlton player to receive this now-traditional treatment, after Val Perovic in the 1980s, Ang Christou in the 1990s and Chris Bryan in the 2000s.^[6]

Watson is the nephew of Essendon premiership player Steven Alessio.^[7]
