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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.
