I mentioned in the preview that there’s little to indicate the provenance of Wattles. The Daily Standard’s report suggests they replaced West End, while the presence of Davidson and Wilson who’d both been with multiple south-side teams (Kurilpa, South Brisbane, West End) further suggests they were from around that area.
