Watts to Trenners

Carrot Top
in Melbourne Demons

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.

    That was a sublime pass by Watts.

    Damn he is going to be such a great player

    Start of the 2nd quarter.

    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.

    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..

    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]

  • Quote

    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)

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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

    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.

  • Quote

    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 ...

  • Quote

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

  • Quote

    I have been disappointed with Tapscott too. But then I remember this is just his second year of footy, coming off a low fitness base and has barely played 25 games.

    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.

    I agree Hatchman!

    Blown over each time I read negative comments about him

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
