Watts to Trenners


Carrot Top

Recommended Posts

I work Sundays so I could only hear all but the last bit of the game on the radio. Everyone seemed mighty impressed with the Watts to Trengove play so I was wondering if there is any video of it floating around so I could have a look. Ta.

It wasn't Watts only great long pass, his kick down the wing to Aaron (who dropped It, and then recovered) was sweet as well..

Tells me I can't use it because I need to be in Australia to see it. Odd. I always thought NSW was in Australia but there you go.

Anyway I've logged a complaint with them and I'll see what happens.

NSW is Australia... or so the Australian cricket selectors would have you believe.

Got it. Thanks.

Nice stuff, eh? I look forward to much more of that in the future. Y'know if Watts continues along in this vein I wouldn't be fussed if I never saw him go forward again. Getting the ball out to of the backline to the right option on a regular basis will probably help us more than 2 or 3 goals a week could.

Even watching on tv it's clear the special comments that Tim Watson adds are obviously some of the worst lines ever delivered on free to air. But it was obvious to anyone at the game that the crowd went nuts because 1. Jack Watts' great play (close)2. Scully's big error (distant)3. Trengove's mark. [not a comment on Trenners, just how it was]

Watts gathered the ball right infront of our wing and sped down the wing and spotted up trenners with an amazing pass. The whole wing went nuts and showed their appreciation it really was a good moment and Watts could tell how pleased the fans were

Its on this page the video but it doesnt show the initial gather

His two left footers later in the game were sheer brilliance

Welcome to the future Captain Jack (Shirley has been retired I hope)

Yeah, it was great to see Watts looking so poised at times and showing us some great skills. Certainly thinking we need to forget about him becoming some monster CHF like a Cloke or Brown and that maybe he'll end up being more like a Goddard-type with his skills and reading-the-play abilities. We've now got Clark to be the monster CHF. In 2013 anyway.

Anyone else think Trenners would struggle to make the seniors if Boak and Viney were on our current list based on his form?

With 2 - 3 new mids most likely to join the team besides Moloney I cant see who else could be moved to Casey to make room.

Hope his form picks up soon. Jones and Mckenzie would hold there spots.

It's a big if, but even if we managed to get Boak and Viney in the team for 2013, most clubs these days are rotating a lot of players through the midfield (8-10). Not an issue IMO

In short, no.

And there's no guarantee that an introduction of 2-3 new mids drafted would play majority of games either.

If we were to introduce Viney and Boak, the players that would be under most pressure to retain their spots would be Bail and (as much as I wish it wasn't so) Tapscott.

Oucher is close to the money regarding midfield rotations, but I think it's more like 12-14 players. I'm pretty sure Schwab mentioned this on Twitter a season or two ago.

It has been asked elsewhere but I will ask again

"what does Bail bring to the team"?

I have yet to see him play a game that would justify his inclusion the following week.

But the FD seem impressed e.g. they give him a game on Sunday after being injured for 4 weeks.

However the the alternative was probably Bennell

Oh well yes play him next saturday

I was having a break from my work and looking for something to give me a laugh....

and this is it

NO NO NO and NO

Not one ounce of disagreement here Old Dee. The one I'm disappointed about is Tapscott, thought he was our version of Chapman, but that said, the geelong faithful were quite impatient with Chappy in his early years.

I'd just like to see Tapscott & Bail put in half a dozen games in succession, without getting injured. That will give us a better idea of what future they have.

Come to think of it, that also applies to Gysberts ... Strauss ... Martin ... Jetta ...

Funny, but unfortunately not surprising, that yet another thread turns into speculation over the future of certain players at the club.

What is Bail's role Akum?

I am not being smart just interested in where you see him playing.

Also interested in the same for Tapscott, not sure where he fits as well.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
