Rowland Hill Watt (17 July 1898 – 27 July 1970)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played for Essendon in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Watt arrived at Essendon from Rochester and spent a season with Essendon Association before joining their VFL club. He was one of the small players in the team which saw them called the 'Mosquito Fleet' and he was a member of their 1923 and 1924 premiership sides. Although he started as a centreman he spent most of his time at Essendon either as a wingman, half forward flanker and occasionally roving.
Watt returned to Rochester as captain-coach of Rochester in 1932.[2]
His younger brother Rod Watt played briefly with Essendon in the mid-1920s.
