Watts to Trenners

Featured Replies

Posted

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.

Try refreshing the tab or using a different browser. That has worked for me in the past...

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

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.

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.

That was a sublime pass by Watts.

I agree Hatchman!

Blown over each time I read negative comments about him

    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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
