thanks for the link , my favourite part of the report

"This was due to Sturt captain Jade Sheedy, Luke Crane and AFL-bound Jack Trengove constantly hitting targets inside 50m"

Demons bound I hope

The more I see, hear or read about JT, the more I like Jordan McMahon. He could arguably go down in history as the player who did the most for the MFC without ever playing for us.

Trengove had 9 kicks, 2 marks, 10 handballs, 3 tackles and 1 goal.

Out of 21 players 6 had more possessions than him.

He's doing very well.

That's a fair effort for a half forward flanker who's just turned 18 and playing in a senior SANFL final.

Even more impressive when those kicks are constantly hitting targets.

Just thought I would throw in my opinion on the possibility of drafting JT.

Having lived here in Adelaide for the best part of the last 5 years :( I can safely say that this kid is on equal terms with Gibbs for the best draft prospect I have seen in the SANFL.

JT's skill and determination are awesome to watch live! I have a lot of close friends who are Sturt freaks and they are all saying one thing, "If you pass up on JT you are not a recruiters A-hole"

The way he throws himself into packs and puts his head over the ball at the age of 18 against fully developed men is fantastic.... Balls of steel and skills either side of his body to match.

Jack Watts, Jurrah & Co would be licking their lips at the prospect of getting the ball delivered to them off JT's boot (either boot). He runs and runs and runs all day.... Reminds me a lot of the T-1000 played by Robert Patrick in Terminator 2. The kid just won't go away!

I have sang the praises of the MFC football department over the last 3 years and I trust that they will not let this gem be selected by any other team than Melbourne! Scully and Trengove.... OMG.... The joy this will bring over the next 10 years....

Go Dees!

how exciting is the prospect of trengove!

he's playing in the SANFL Final...against men...that are close to AFL level fitness.

how many afl/ex-afl players are in that team?

give him number 5 and lets move on from u know who!

Concerns me a little that Bode has been selected on a wing in front of Trengove. All be it- may start on the ground. Looked up Foxtel-abc - believe no show here either ABC 1 &2. WILL NEED TO RELY ON ADELAIDE ASSOCIATES.

Living here in Adelaide, I will be keeping a keen eye on how he goes....

Will give you guys a run down after viewing the match

I already have my mind made up on JT, but for all those doubters, I will re-assure you how good this kid is ;)

If we pass up on him the clubs recruiters have failed IMHO..... Better than Gibbs at this level!! And I have 10+ mates (some of which play SANFL) who agree

A reminder that last year in the WAFL grand final Rich came off the bench and didn't fare particularly well at all.

Part of the reason he started dropping down the order in the eyes of the general football public.

He showed us this season exactly how accurate an indication that was of his ability to play AFL...

I wouldnt worry about the kid starting on the bench,id say thay will just start him there to let a little heat out of the game before he comes on,id say he will be on in the 1st 10 minutes though.Just a bigger game & crown so think they will ease him in.Ive seen him live & hes a gun so dont worry & everyone else in the media,ex afl players & coaches all say the same thing. just a few ex AFL players or AFL listed players playing in this game.GLENELG-Todd Grima who was at Geelong,Adam Fisher who most of us would remember,Brett Backwell from Carlton,Danny Meyer whos now on Ports list & came from Richmond,James Sellar from the Crows,Josh Willoughby who was at the Crows,Wade Mills who was at the Lions plus a few who came from the VFL.STURT-Jace Bode who we know,Toby Thurstans from Port,Ben Nelson from Carlton & a few ex VFL players

i think the site of Trengove in No. 5 and Scully in No. 9 next year will almost cause me to make a mess

playing in a game with guys who have been in the AFL system is a fair achivement. if he kicks goals etc...he'd be a monty for #2

Can someone at the game keep a look out for Melb recuritment managers?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
