Overall, I'd say Trengove showed some promise today. He did some classy things, but had too little of the ball b/c his team was outclassed and spent the day chasing tail.

On the negative side, I wasn't too impressed by his commitment to the ball when facing one on one head on decisions.

For an 18 y/o kid to play in that Grand Final today, and get 20+ touches in a losing side was a fantastic effort.

I like him, and would be happy if the Dees took him, but let's not start labeling him a star quite yet. From the footage I've seen of Scully (No Hannibal, not live - sorry), I think Scully is still clearly the #1 pick.

I for one am sold. Just to join the groundswell.

20 touches in a side that loses by 40 odd points. Kept up the intensity when others seem to have conceded.

Stood up in tackles, ensured he got the handball off, tackled hard himself. Seemed to read the play well.

Sound disposal by foot and hand, yes he missed the odd target, but this was of no real concern.

Big tank as well, ran the game out when all others seemed stuffed. Good size and reckon the Buckley comparison not too far off.

No need to apologise, but suffice to say I take your opinion with a grain of salt.

And I'm quite happy to label both stars. I have no doubt.

Someone should have sent me an iPHONE so I could have updated live :lol:

An ok day from Jack. He was not tagged but had a player play a defensive role on him for most of the day, shows the respect Centrals have for him.

There was probley only one bit of play that excited me today. He took the ball on the wing, put his head down and took about 3-4 bounces then delivered the ball on the chest of a team mate. Took a really strong mark on the wing with a fair bit of body pressure. On a few occasions his opponent lead him to the ball and he seemed a bit worried to just run at it. BTW there was 35,000 at the game. There were a lot of big mature bodies out there and Jack did not look out of place. Ran up and down the city side wing all day.

You really are trying to sell him here.

Although I would agree with a comparison to Buckley some what.

Great minds think alike (though small minds seldom differ) ;)

Of course you do mate. It's the internet. I take your opinion with the very same grain.

I did watch young JT live today though, and cannot agree with you that he's a star already. Maybe one day, maybe.

Naturally, I'm talking future tense, as neither have played AFL. Does one have to explain the bleeding obvious, Barry ?

SA state screenings are held on Saturday October 10th at Kidman Park..... You will probably see him there, but not sure on how much he will partake in.... I think he is already sewn up...

Jack's opponent Trent Goodrem was BOG for Centrals,so while Jack is good offensively,he got burnt in the GF.

He needs to work harder the other way,which will come with experience.

I won't be fussed either way if we draft him.

so your saying Jack is a down hill skier? he should head to carlton then...*joke*

i listened to three qtrs via the internet...jack seemed to be amongst it...a couple times he got caught with noboday to give it off to. he did get 20 touches in a grand final. i heard he made a few mistakes but i believe he also did a few handy things. the positives is he was getting a kick and having a go!

by the way it sounded on the internet...sturt didn't take there chances in a grand final. and it was sturts forwards that didn't perform. Central continued to push the ball into attack..giving there forwards oppurtunties to score.

this is what i got off...from listening to the radio...maybe someone at the ground would disagree...

I sat there and kept my eyes on the kid for 4 quaters. He hardly went inside the 50m, I thought he was more defensive then ever. Goodrem won the medal for his amazing desperation and tackling. I think he layed about 8 tackles and all were bone crunches. 3 tackles were run downs and got paid free kicks for them. Anyway point is both Goodrem and Jack hardly entered both 50m and just ran the wings together all day.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
