Trengove just showed some super silky skills.... Took posession, lifts the ball in one hand over an opponent... and delivers straight to the chest of a teammate....Commentators love him

Sturt are now in front.... Trengove is definately in the best for Sturt.... His work around the ground is fantastic and as the commentators have said, his class for an 18 year old is fantastic.... Up against some big blokes in this match and shows no hesitation at all...

Trengove takes a grab in the middle and delivers into the forward line.... Teammate unable to take a grab..... The kid is everywhere

Great to hear that he is both classy and hard at the contest. I'm almost more excited about this kid than I am about Scully.

Half time siren blows..... Glenelg have a kick after the siren from 50m on the boundary.... No score.... Sturt up by 1 point after trailing by 15 at the first break...

one handed bottle feeding..... Glenelg have stepped it up a gear, and lead 31-19

Trengove had a much better 2nd quarter & had a hand in several Sturt goals.Sturt now lead at the half 32-31.Trengove had 6 kicks,1 handball,4 marks & 3 tackles in the 2nd quarter.Overall stats to the half-8 kicks,5 handballs,5 marks & 3 tackles also with a few clearances.If you watch the game i think you can forget about some of the rumours that people are saying about him beung soft,the SANFL is very physical & they dont pay the same soft frees as AFL,lots more head high stuff & physical in the packs.Hes also very good mark as he has shown & likes to have a jump.Great skills as were seen when he set up 1st goal.Also has some speed & guts & likes to take on tacklers,hes side stepped several players & stayed calm under pressure to find a target.Ive seen him live several times here & think he has massive potential,just hope Melb see it the same way& take him num 2 in the Draft.Donald Dickie is assistant coach at Sturt said that you tell him something once & he just does it,is a natural leader.Said they will give him rests because hes done U/18 here plus 18 carnival,league here plus school footy & now finals,so hes had a long tough year & is still going strong.Shows good character to me

ABC radio commentator said Trengove is probably the outstanding player on the ground so far and no wonder he'll be highly sought after in the draft.

Quite a wrap for an 18 yr. old.

He just seems to be everywhere.... If he doesn't have possession of the ball he is laying tackles, he takes a lot of marks around the ground as well.... His work at the stoppages is fantastic.... He goes in hard as nails and doesn't give a toss if the blokes are bigger than him.... Has great poise and skill when in possession of the pill and seems to have heaps of time to make a decision.... His kicking on both feet is superb and he can take a contested grab....

The kid is a definate pick IMHO.... I am not a Sturt sopporter (Norwood all the way), but me and my mates (some of whom play SANFL) all think that Trengove is fantastic! I would even go as far as to say he is better than Gibbs was at this level.... Has a decent sized body and has leadership written all over him.... Seems to do the things that lift his teammates when the chips are down....

All in all, I think we NEED this kid!

Dont lynch me now people but i think the same thing that he could even be num 1 pick.I believe if he was in melb playing now & more people seen him live he would rate higher,dosnt matter though as hopefully we take both Scully & Trengove,pray

I have not seen Scully live, but I have seen JT live on a number of occasions...... I find it hard to say which one is better as I have seen some footage of Scully which is very impressive.... But Trengove is just awesome to watch live.... Will be bloody awesome if we grab both.... Surely the club cannot overlook Trengove!?!?!?!

That is the all important thing about Trengove..... He WILL make it in the AFL..... And performs in big games against grown men at the age of 18....

Trengove is still in everything.... The comentators are now praising his balance and the way he holds his feet in a tackle.... Doesn't seem to go to ground....

My posts have slowed up a bit, apologies, but the 8 month old demon in the house is demanding attention.... He is a bit sick of watching, what he probably thinks is, Richmond on the TV :D

Trengove in it again.... Trengove stands up in another tackle (dare I say it ala G.Ablett) and handballs to a teammate, who kicks a goal.... Sturt in front by 8 points now...

I will make a statement and say that I think Trengove is best on ground!!

    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.
