Recruited from South Bendigo in the Bendigo Football League, Rod Watt arrived at Essendon as a 30-year-old mature-age debutant in 1925.

A lightly framed player standing 173cm, Watt featured intermittently in the senior side, managing 21 games over three seasons while playing alongside his sibling. He booted just one goal during his VFL career and served as a depth player for the Dons before departing at the end of the 1927 season.
