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.

    • 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.
