Does anyone know anything about Shane Tregear? He is on our list to train and won the coaches award for Sandy last year. Sounds like he can snag a sausage roll or two from Bazza Beach road Sandy reports.

Anyone know about his size? speed? skill?

could he be worth putting on a rookie list or possible PSD pick up?

    Shane is an extremely talented player.

    He can play as a medium forward and is magical overhead. For his size he is unbelievable one on one. He strikes me as a cross between Steve Johnson will his freakish ability and the silk of Simon Black. Put a few years in the gym and a forward line with him and Watts could perform some serious magic.

    Can play on ball or on a wing but is best suited in the forward line. His skills are very good on both sides of his body, this helps him to make goals out of nothing. Ive seen him play for years and i hope we give him the chance because hes got the pace, skills and agility to be a great player. I believe in the environment of an AFL club he could improve on his already freakish ability.

    Francis Jackson (head recruiter of Richmond) said he had the best hand eye co-ordination he'd ever seen and a complete footballer but didn't have the body to make it, it also probably due to the fact at the time of his draft, he really didn't have football at his top priority until last year.

    He is pure magic, if we used a late pick, or even a rookie draft selection i would be very pleased.

    Wow Norm Smith Medallist and Brownlow Medallist - does he also look like a cross between Brad Pitt and George Clooney too?

    For anyone that cares, he kicked 10 goals in 9 games for Sandy seniors in 2008.

    Shane Tregear made his debut for Sandringham seniors early in the season against Frankston and played some impressive games as a clever forward flanker and in a forward pocket. He came from the Sandringham Dragons via Brighton Grammar (I wonder who else has those credentials :wacko: ?) and wore the number 19. He was injured during the year and played 9 games (10 goals). He's 180cm 68 kg and was born on 27 April 1988.

    I thought it was a bit rich too. That good and at 20, is on the fringe of a VFL club!

    180 cm is pretty small for an AFL player, but he's not exactly a dwarf. 68kg would be the worry. That is about as lightweight as you're likely to see on an AFL list.

    I could give him a few kilos but I don't have any height to spare.

    If we're going down the path of mature age, this would be my preference:

    Greg Bentley (only because he hasn't got a price on his head)

    Tom Hislop

    I'm 176cm and at one point weighed about 65kgs, and at that point I was I was very, very skinny. A body that size would get utterly mauled at AFL level.

    68 kgs at age 20... that's a real worry. Unless you play like Davey.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
