Training 8 January 2010


2for1

Recommended Posts

from what i saw this morning JW looked awesome, JW is rite on target for round 1, as for casey feilds being 2 far away, its a magnificent ground, but you cant please everyone.

Jack looks great when he has space and he's moving to the ball, but presently he's still poor in one-on-one contests due to strength issues. It's his only achilles heel and should be rectified in time.

yeah it will be rectified in time, compared to this time last season, he will play round 1, when he has set shots for goal he kicks 8 out of 10, he will find space this season and suprise alot of people.

I didn't mention it in my earlier thread , and the point doesn't appear to have been noted by other attendees today , but Matty Bate has worked overtime in the gym over the break and his upper body shape is actually very distinctive now .

I have no hesitation in saying that he is now built along the lines we'd expect of a full time CHF - he has the height , smarts , kicking skills , and now , strength , to make this most important of positions his own .

I thought Bate was pretty strong already if not defined as much. If he has consolidated this (as you day) and can improve his agility a little bit then I am quite looking forward to his year.

hmmm.... I haven't heard one positive report about Jurrah this summer. I wonder if he's recovering from an injury or can't cope with the heavy demands of a pre season or a combo of both??

Thanks heaps for the report mate! Much appreciated.

As stated in my earlier report, I spoke to Flash regarding him and he said he was returning from recovery from an elbow injury. He ran laps early then 800,400 sprints then went swimming.

Bate definately looks bigger.His body seems more mature/developed.Looked great- oozed confidence

i thought bate was one of the most underrated players last season, had a mammoth year. if he can improve on that i will be very excited, because he will push to being in our top 3 players.

He did come in 4th in the B+F. I've never been a huge fan TBH but he has improved every so gradually in his 5 years at the club. He is not a name that gets thrown up as one of our future stars, but he should be entering his best 3 to 5 years now and who knows how good he will be with a better midfield serving him. Has the assets.

Hate to be pedantic , but it is Trengove!!!! No "r" after "g". (Noah)

I am the 1st to admit I misspell sometimes, but we all need to get his name right.

The media are pathetic with this and previously Russel Robinson's??????? surname.

Remember Flour and Lion! LOL

Love ya passion JCB, not having a go at you , just trying to be considerate to the player. ;)

TRENGOVE not TRENGOVE

Sorry - I WILL CALL HIM BY HIS NICKNAME JC FROM NOW ON.

Thanks for pulling me up- I did not take offence--I'd hate somone calling me JDB instead of JCB

Have a great year mate- GO DEES that is the main thing.

In season 2010 Jack Watts will be a lot like Nathan Ablett, but with a better mindset.

With time he'll become a dominant forward in the mould of Riewoldt, with better skills.

If we're lucky.

You still sure his nickname is J-C?

JT would make a lot more sense.

Unless he really is that good...

Actually I may have misheard Aaron Davey whom I was speaking to after training, I thought he called- Jamie Bennell- JB

and I thought, he quoted Trengove as being JC- I even had a joke about that and said I hope he is as god as JC himself- we will win many priemerships. I may have misheard him as you rightly point out JC is very close to JT in being heard. Big Kev believes his nickname is JT. So I may need to stand to be corrected.If so ,my apologies.

Actually, I don't really care if it is JC, JT ,treeners or what so ever-I just say thank God he is with us -he will be a beauty.

With Grimes, Sylvia, Maloney, Trengove and Scully, becoming the nucleus of our midfield- all I can say is hallelujah.

go dees- I can't wait.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
