Jack Trengove- "FISTS OF DESTINY!"

Correct me if i'm wrong but not only did he punch through our winning point but he also spoiled Port's last kick into their 50 in the dying seconds. Onya Jack!

Pretty sure that was Grimes running back that got hands to it in the dying seconds.

    Wonaeamirri - Run some laps

    18 months out of the game... he needs to keep playing footy and he'll get better.

    His 60m pass off one step to Miller 20m out from goal was great. Look very rusty though, but should be given a lot of latitude considering the time he's had out.

    Wouldn't mind seeing him play 3-4 more games at VFL level, but imo he is in our best 22 and part of our future

    Though people will get sucked in by the hype, surely Trengove has overtaken some Nat bloke as favourite for rising star award?!

    Only a matter of time until Watts realises he belongs in the AFL, demand the ball, and will determine the result of game/s.

    FFS why was a free kick not awarded when he was punched right in front of the umpire? :mad:

    because his name is not Nick Reiwoldt :unsure:

    Davey - lighting through centre

    Was he wearing a Davey Lamp?

    Jones is prone to brainfarts, we know that, but he shut down Danyle (rubbish spelling of a name) Pearce, which was enormous in the context of the game. Props to him for a great job.

    Garland is going to have some ups and downs, and will no doubt tire as the year goes on, given he didn't do a pre-season. Also, being punched in the stomach twice wouldn't have helped. FFS why was a free kick not awarded when he was punched right in front of the umpire? :mad:

    I would say that Jones is our most improved player so far this year.

    Grimes - worked hard

    Jamar - mark of the year

    Jetta - revelation

    Jones - useful grunt

    MacDonald - good

    McDonald - captain courageous

    Miller - see my post "Reality Check", May 16

    Moloney - tries hard, a good ordinary footballer

    Morton - important link player, smart thinker

    Rivers - some good work in the trenches

    Scully - continues to impress

    Sylvia - play with that level of passion EVERY week

    Trengove - a cert. to be the NAB RS of the year

    Watts - clean, classy and clever

    Wonaeamirri - got through the game - well done

    McKenzie - gives it everything

    *shakes head*

    Rivers by far tonight gave his team the most 1%'s = 11. By far. He didn't give away any free kicks. He contested well in packs. He may have spilled a mark from memory, but he wasn't the only one during the night in Darwin. Hardly "useless".

    Some may say he looked slow chasing Hitchcock, but who wouldn't ? FFS.

    Rivers: One percenter King.

    Agree totally HT. I love watching at ground level, and when I do I'm always really rapped hw Rivers just finds a way to get to contests that other guys never can. His athleticism is very apparent close up :blink:

    Lets not forget his one handed mark & goal from 50m !!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
