Does anyone know how did Trengove go for Sturt on the weekend?

Does anyone know how did Trengove go for Sturt on the weekend?

From the THE PROTÉGÉ II thread yesterday:

In news just in, Jack Trengove played another good game in the SANFL qualifying final game which the SA two blues Sturt narrowly lost. Kicked a couple of goals and impressed all the good judges.

I understand he kicked two goals and was one of the best in a losing side won by Central Districts:

Central 1.4.10 4.4.28 6.8.44 11.9.75

Sturt 2.3.15 5.535 6.8.44 10.9.69

Scorers

Central Havelberg 3.0 Sansbury C Gowans 2.0 Schell 1.2 Giles J Gowans Westhoff 1.0 Nason 0.3 Dutschke 0.2 O'Hara 0.1 rushed 0.1

Sturt Trengove Sharples 2.0 Vassal 1.2 Gum Thurstans Johncock 1.1 Evans Sheedy 1.0 Payne 0.1 rushed 0.3

Well this is what I thought, but apparently not. It is definitely spelt Petterd, but I'm certain I heard him say that it's pronounced Pettard. Don't know why.

Assuming he comes to the club, we should, as supporters, have a nice big campaign to make the commentators get his name right. Along with Petterds. While we're at it is it Chainy or Cheeny (as in Cheesy)?

Continuing with the off-topic stuff, at the same time, we could also get the commentators to learn that it's Aaron Davey, not Daveys.

I notice he's back in the Sturt seniors this week. The game is being played tonight, will be interesting to see how he goes.

Hes been in the Sturt senior side since the U/18 carnival.the only time he didnt play was when he went back to his school side for 1 game.He went ok in the game against Central who are the reigning premiers.Was tagged by Paul Thomas whos Centrals captain & was at Essendon.He kicked a few goals & 1 was a ripper from on the run on the boundary about 45 out.Had around 20 touches i think.Has been averaging over 20 touches a game the last few weeks & kicks goals every week,has also been named in the best quiet a few times

Yeh i think im finally set on Trengove as our pick 2.

Seems a very special player that you just cant let slip and i know for a fact home sickness will not be a problem with this bloke at all.

The only thing is someone is going to have to go! I just dont see how all these players we have can be all given the oppurtunity to show their worth.

Ive said it before i think Jones may be the unlucky one and yes that may seem crazy as he had his best season for us but i just dont see how you can have Brock/Moloney and Jones with Sylvia also starting to excel in the mid then you have Bruce, Green ( who will probably play up forward), Morton, Grimes, Jetta and the untried but i think a big part of the future - Blease and Strauss.

I think we will see a tough decision that has to be made in trade week and some people wont be too happy about it but i think will need to be done out of necessity. But yeah ONLY my opinion which does not count for much.

The more i think about it also does people think Davey might be asked to play HF or F role again next year. The forward line is obviously quite inexperienced but this is how i see it maybe working-

Bate Miller Davey

Watts Jurrah Wonna

With Green playing a lot up forward too?

That's exciting footage...

I don't think I need to see much in the draft camp, I've just about made my mind up. His right boot is a thing of beauty.

Reminds me of Cotchin, so composed and silky.

how do you know for a fact home sickness will not be a problem with this bloke?

Good on both sides by the look of it too.. nice goal on the left..

reminded me of Morts, but with muscle!

commentators really talked him up too.

Wonder if the the person that put up those highlights will put up a Trenny highlights package?

I keep thinking Michael Voss. Just that strength overhead and in the contest, and the ability to lift his game when the contest is red hot. That's just an invaluable ablility, especially come finals time.

how do you know for a fact home sickness will not be a problem with this bloke?

How do you know for a fact homesickness will not be a problem with any player from interstate?

How do you know homesickness won't be a problem for a player from Warrnambool?

How do you know another player won't in 2 years' time decide he wants to go to GWS18 cos the money's good and he once had a nice holiday in Sydney?

Stupid question.

You can't let this decision be made based on irrational fear.

if you had have read my original post you'd be able to answer those exact questions...

Heard from horses mouth..

Great song Centrals " we are the mighty flying dogs", is the last line.

i hope so...the more i hear about this guy the more excited i get.

Yeh me too mate, has a great head on his shoulders! Very mature and has leader written all over him.

But like ive said if we go Trengove and Scully, someone current has to be traded, even if that player is one of our best current midfielders.

Scully and Trengove if have a good preseason they should BOTH be playing round 1!!!

Great song Centrals " we are the mighty flying dogs", is the last line.

I'm pretty sure they changed it to "fighting" redleg.

But who knows.... They are from Adelaide after all....

Anyone else noticed that two of our potential picks for 1 & 2 are currently being coached by MFC oldboys? Scully by Yeats and Trengove by Luke Norman. An omen perhaps?

Mousey very excited by the prospect of Trengove and Scully in the guts for the next decade or so. Whilst I hate to say it, I agree with you that if we had to let someone from the midfield bracket go, Jones would probably be my first choice also. I see Sylvia, Jetta, and Davey playing longer periods next year up forward on the HF or FF line and being much more versatile than Jones. Regarding you're comment on Davey, I tend to see him next year being used in his current role this year across the H/B line as a general (in the mould of Hodge) who can spent more time next year as a "resting" forward.

I think that during his "resting" periods in the forward line, we're more likely to see Wonna and Sylvia pushed into the midfield, providing that Wonna can get over his injuries.

Whilst I'd suggest that Brock, Moloney and Jones all have "less" flexible playing options, both Moloney and Brock are finally getting over their injuries and I would argue that both have far better upsides and attacking potential than Jones. I also think we will see Green play up forward full time next year, probably as a leading forward from the pocket/square.

For what its worth I see Morton, Strauss (and also Bennell) spending the majority of their time next year on the half back flank (with very little time in the midfield) as running defenders in the mould of Gilbee, McLeod and the Shaws, with support (and advice) across the HB during the year coming from McDonald, Bruce and Davey.

I'd like to see the forward line developed along the lines of:

Sylvia/Davey Bate Jurrah

Watts Green Wonna/Maric

With the intention that Green be used to take the pressure of Watts and assist with his development.

I wouldn't let go of Jones. His kicking really improved the last 5-6 games of the season.
