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.

    I can't comment, I haven't seen him play live.

    I reckon 19 possessions, a goal, and a few tackles and marks is the kind of game we'll see from him on a regular basis sooner rather than later.

    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

    in my jocks :wub:

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
