2009 Player Review - # 35 Trent Zomer

[Demonland 71,311]

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

[Adelaide Demon 0]

Who the hell is this bloke?!

Sums up my feelings on the matter adequately.

[beelzebub 23,313]

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

[Eastie Boyz 0]

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

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

[#MYHEARTBEATSTRUE 27]

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

[Fugazi 53]

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

[Swampfox 190]

Will not make it

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Trade him for Port's first round pick or Chris Bryan.

[Jurrah Coffee 0]

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

[Guest Rojik of the Arctic]

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

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,762]

You know you're no good when you can't even get a game for a club that has 22 injuries and is 'list managing'.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Z comes after V.

Does it really matter? Neither were good enough.

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.

[Bingo 297]

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.

[PhilReadFury 1]

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.

Who?

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

[Carlos Danger 380]

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.

[Old Gregg 1]

One word.

DELIST
