Hawthorn livewire Nick Watson has found an unlikely ally after his game suffered following a cheeky halftime interview.
After five-straight defeats to the Hawks, the Western Bulldogs finally got one back on their nemesis when they recorded a stirring come-from-behind win last Friday night.
Watson was a central figure in proceedings, engaging in a must-watch battle with Bulldogs stopper Michael Sellwood.
After a stunning three-goal burst early in the game to get the better of Sellwood, Watson was restricted to just two possessions in the second-half.
When walking off the field at halftime, the 21-year-old had some pointed comments for his opponent: "I don't care if he (Sellwood) talks, as long as he walks the walk. I'd love to see it in the second half."
