In today's Australian - TOP DRAFT TARGET REVIVES MEMORIES OF HIRD

Weighing up Trengove's talents, Port Adelaide launched a late raid in trade week, offering Melbourne its eighth and ninth picks for the Demons' second selection. Melbourne declined, and is set to take Trengove and Victorian onballer Tom Scully at one and two next month.

Mahoney is adamant that Trengove is ready to play now: "The first thing I noticed about him was his hovering speed. Is that the right word for it? Cruising around the packs waiting to pounce.

"It's every bit as good as (Chris) Judd's. And when he hits the turbo he's gone."

    I'm having this lovely dream that my side is going to have 1/2 a dozen superstars-in-the-making in it. I know it's a dream because it is Melbourne I am talking about and that just doesn't happen to us. Shame I'm going to have to wake up soon.

    Jordan McMahon for MFC life membership :lol:

    I liked the bit where he coached the 11's.. seems this guy really knows his footy as well as playing it..A good head

    Trengove and Scully seem just so much further along than the rest...and Trengove I think is more accomplished ( to date ) He almost sounds like a future captain the way they effuse !!

    Cant wait to see him in Red and Blue ( a very dark blue ;) )

    I'm absolutely beside myself that we declined Port's pick swap offer. :D

    I'll stick up for Tom to go No#1, but I won't be disappointed if Jack goes at No#1. :)

    A bit harsh, I thought it was also because Trengrove had a good finals compaign in the SANFL, against men as opposed to boys, plus the Vic boys always get a big wrap in our media

    It's Trengove. There's only one 'r' in his name.

    JT will win the rising star next season......

    Scully close second. With also possibly Wattsy, Strauss and Blease all getting nominations.

    Thank god the best is in front of us.

    for those that arent old enough to remember 64 Anyway.

    Jenkinson recalls a game in which Trengove "slid his arms down in the tackle and took the ball out of the bloke's hands and weaved around a couple of players to give it off".

    Already said I'd be there at Trengove's first game for the Dees wherever it is, this puts a big fat exclamation point on it. This kid will be the goods.

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
