Chris P. Waterson (born 26 March 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon and the Brisbane Bears in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1980s.
A utility, Waterson was a member of 1983 Essendon reserves premiership winning side.[2]
He was never able to cement a spot in the Essendon seniors and his nine games in 1985 were the most he would play in a single season.[3]
In 31 games at Essendon he played in 24 wins but the former Nullawil player wouldn't have the same team success when he was traded to the Brisbane Bears.[3] Being part of a weaker side did however mean he was selected more regularly and he played 18 games in 1987, including Brisbane's first ever VFL match.[3]
The following year he played another 17 games and also averaged 17 disposals for the year.[3]
