2009 Player Review - # 35 Trent Zomer

Featured Replies

Posted
Trent Zomer – Trent had an up-and-down year at Casey. He started the year as a forward and then went down back. The main area he needs to work on is his second and third efforts. His first effort is good but as a big forward, he needs to work on getting back onto the ball quicker. That's an area he has been working on and he has shown improvement – Sean Wellman on Melbournefc.com.au
 

unfortunately i would rather my 82 year old grandmother play before Trent....good luck with life after football

Who the hell is this bloke?!

Sums up my feelings on the matter adequately.

 

Sean's being very kind I feel. . Not really showing anything this lad. Time for a change :rolleyes:


Will be a good pick up for (presumably) Sth Croydon.

or Carlton.... apparently they are collecting a set :lol:

Is he worthy of a review? Can't see him at the club for much longer.

 

Will not make it


Wouldn't he be delisted before Valenti because hes had 2 years on the rookie list?

Shame he is not going to make it when he has such a cool name.

Z comes after V.

Does it really matter? Neither were good enough.

He is pathetic.... Brent Girgic is better.

I don't know why people feel the need to piss on the kid on the way out. And it's not just Zomer, it's all the guys who have a crack but clearly aren't good enough. Show some respect please.


I didn't say anything derogatory about the kid, just stated that i'd rather my grandmother in the starting 18 :)

There's plenty of kids out there like Trent, who are recruited for their potential, and most simply can't break it into the AFL. He'll probably go on to play a lot of football, but i don't see it at AFL or VFL level.

Word has it that he moved very well for a big man, is a natural athlete, and had never had to work very hard to succeed

As it turns out, attitude, and being prepared to bust ya nut is essential if you are going to make it in the AFL.

Sadly, Trent never pulled his finger out to be a 'professional' athlete. As such, he was told he would not be on the list next year back in September.

No shortage of these stories in the AFL/VFL

I don't know why people feel the need to [censored] on the kid on the way out. And it's not just Zomer, it's all the guys who have a crack but clearly aren't good enough. Show some respect please.

Totally agree Nash. Geez, Trent was picked up as a late rookie ......... a punt on a 'speccie' that didn't work out ie. just like the vast majority of those selected at the tail end of the draft.

Pretty much sums up my opinion of him.

Another one of these bloody basketballers we keep trying to turn into footballers

Agreed. We do this to every player, it's no wonder we never hear form many of them again. Would be nice if we had the kind of culture that made people want to come back to the club...

Yeah cos that's such a nice thing to say! :D

Did some very impressive things for the Scorpions this year but was fairly inconsistent, the talent appears to be there, just not the work-rate.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
