"Low base fitness": Jobe locked in as full Legends teams confirmed
SEN • August 27th, 2025 11:29 am
- Legends game is at Marvel on August 28
Jobe Watson is the final piece of the jigsaw with the full teams for the 2025 Legends Game now confirmed.
The 40-year-old former Essendon captain, who retired in 2017, joins the Victorian side under the coaching leadership of his dad Tim and captaincy of Luke Hodge.
“I haven’t kicked a footy since I retired so it will be interesting to see how I go tomorrow night,” he told SEN Breakfast.
“I miss the camaraderie and teammates. I never really had a desire to keep playing after I retired though.
“I’ve been trying to get on the treadmill and do some running but I’m coming off a very low base. I don’t know how effective I will be tomorrow night.
“I don’t think my kids believe I ever played footy. I am looking forward to listening to the Whisp though, highly-credentialled.
“It’ll be interesting to see which personality comes out tomorrow night.”
TEAMS IN FULL:
There is still time to secure your tickets if you want to head to Marvel and if you can't make the match but want to be involved there are virtual seats available for purchase with proceeds all going to charity.
