Slowly Jack Watts has lured me all season to now have me hooked....I love him...his disposal, running, marking....wow he is going to be something else....

But Trengove isnt he something......the way he came in and pushed the bumbers players around when they were getting into Martin while he was on his back....not to mention how good he is with the footy in his vicinity....

+1.

Trengove especially... god he's just an absolute beauty. Yes Dustin Martin looks a freak, but god you could never trade in Scully or Trengove for anybody

I'm enjoying watching Jack progress. Bit by bit I can see a very, very good footballer being built. He's getting a bit of mongrel and some belief. Now it's just a matter of the body coming along.

JT? Yeah. He's all class.

 

Every time there was a switch on in our back half, Watts seemed to be the player who was on the receiving end on the wing. His work rate has improved immensely to get himself to those positions, and he is holding his own in 1-on-1 situations. Just needs to get stickier hands in marking contests.


What I love about Trengove is its no fuss. Everything is just clean and simple, even his big hangers.

Martin is sensational to watch he plays an unreal power game. But Trengove just plays pure football, like how it was meant to be played. You think no matter what decade it was he'd be just class. He reminds so much of Jimmy Bartel, just the way he can seem to do anything. The one knock on his game is goal kicking, not sure why he can't find the middle. Probably needs a tweak to his routine and to use the full 30 seconds to get his breath back.

Trengove is claerly our best player, just dominating everything he does.

Jack Watts, Definately worth the pick we used.

+1

Tom Scully great return from injury, don't think i've ever seen a better player in the Red & Blue...

Trengove's overhead marking is as good as any midfielder in the competition, and he has just enough [censored] in him to make him a real competitor.

Watts I've always loved and never doubted, so no surprises there. F*$% the haters!

 

I've been in love with JW since birth

lol, nice one.. didn't see you tonight mate, but admit I was rather busy taking in the smug-turned-angry-boy dons supporters. priceless.

Loved both of Watts' marks tonight, throwing him down back has given him the confidence and tonight he took that with him up forward!

Also have to throw in Martin, outplayed Hille, Bellchambers AND Ryder. Silver lining to Jamar going down. When the Russian returns, those 2 are going to Kill it rotating through the ruck, fwd line and back line (Jamar/Martin respectively).

God I hope this is the start of some consistency! 15 of our 22 were aged 22 or under tonight. So excited!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Trengove is one of two players on the list I have ZERO worries about becoming a top player in the AFL. Zero. I don't even worry about injuries with him. He puts his head down, and attacks the contest in a smart way. Even when he does things wrong, he does them right. The free he gave against at the start of the game... you forgive him that cos he had no options, and decided to take the tackle, rather than make a desperate disposal to an opposition player.

Watching him operate around the ground is a thing of pure football beauty. Poetry in motion. We have a lot of character about this side... Scully's zippiness and quick reactions/hands, Moloney's blunt force trauma, Sylvia's combination of pace and lethality (both physically and with his disposal), Gysbert's no-fuss smarts that somehow get it done better than the flashy guys.... But Trengove really is a class above everyone on the list, IMO. The only guys that leave me as impressed with their movement are Watts and Jurrah. And they only do it intermittently.

As all-round special a player as I've seen at the club, at this stage of his career.

Watts is now consistent and efficient. His work rate is up there with Scully and Moloney. We now await the step up to brilliance. QB maybe? Yep - serious man love emerging.

Trengove will eclipse Sylvia next year as our best player. What a great mark for his size and he is developing that but of mongrel and nastiness that we lack too often.

.

Two thinks I loved from last night was watching Trengove play, and he reminds me soooooooooo much of Bartel that I get all tingly, but I think he could be better than Bartel and I rate Bartel as top 10 if not 5 in the comp.

The other was Scully ordering the whole midfield where to stand in the 3rd quarter, he was pointing at everyone and telling them where to move to, Even Moloney and they were.

Then the icing was Seeing Trenners and Sculls together orgainising where the rest of the team should be, I loved it. We need to throw the everything and 100 kitchen sinks at Scully to keep him!


trenners is the cake, watts is the icing

bang

Scully's performance after that long lay-off and one week to find his feet again at Casey just cannot be underestimated. What freaking freak to come out and play like that!

Trengove has been cloned from the DNA of Bartel and Ricciuto. What a bloody beast of a footballer he's going to become.

Trenners talke the talk during the week and walked the walk last night - Trenners + Watts + Scully - what a foundation

I have incredible man-love for Jack Trengove.

Destroy All - *snigger*


Great game, in fact, it's been a great month for Watts. Really showing great signs.

Trengove is a star.

Watts was good early but needs to hold more of his marks.

His marking is fine. The ones he drops are often the ones where he's up against two or three defenders, who are all stronger than him.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Trengove is one of two players on the list I have ZERO worries about becoming a top player in the AFL. Zero. I don't even worry about injuries with him.

Very well put. I agree with all of that.

We have our own Jimmy Bartel now. Trengove just does the right thing all the time. He's not quick, but he's always there. Can take a grab too....just quietly.

I too love this boy................not that there's anything wrong with that.

I'd go as far to say that he is possibly a freakin' freakin' freak.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
