Thought Trengove's poise and class was great today. Calm, intelligent and deliberate. Playing against the men in the SANFL seems to have helped him settle a little better that Sculls. Love them both, But Jack was great.

** for what its worth, our other Jack is rising up the ranks in the AFL i reckon. I love that i can trust him. He will be an A grader.

What a great feeling to have experianced a win so early in the season against a supposed top 4 side and not have to worry about only trying to win 3 or less for the rest of the season!!

Its a grand old flag!

He was great today without being outstanding imagine these kids with 25 - 30 games into them and more importantly games together. As for the rising star the 2 Essendon boys were pretty good too?

Posted

yeah, good points Bastinac was good and the bomber boys did do well. Call me bias.. thats because i am, But i think Jack is the man this week.

Gosh this is a good feeling!

If not this week maybe next but its coming

Trenners got heaps of it and improved in the second half, however had a lot of turnovers in the first half

believe Bastinac was more impressive

I didn't see the Essendon game, so can't comment, but for what it's worth I thought Trengove was instrumental in helping us win today. He has had 3 good weeks, in tough conditions, and deserves a nomination for consistent effort.

He was good. But I think Bastinac and Melksham had better games this week.

No worries. He'll get a nomination eventually.

Loved his joy when he kicked that goal.

Yes he was very pumped, was great to see. It really spurred him on to finish the game strongly.

Rich - WAFL

Trengove - SAFL

Trengove will get a nomination, but most importantly he will win the rising star... because he is a star. He will be an outstanding player for the Demons this season and beyond.

He will get one when deserved but as yet there are players having more standout games than him. Bastinacs game will be hard to go past this week. I dont think it will take Jack to much longer though he is getting better each week.

It seemed like Jack's first three kicks were all terrible turnovers but he really worked into the game nicely after half time. I think Scully and Trengove's elite fitness levels will hold them in good stead in their first years. Both have huge running capacity as shown in their beep tests at draft camp and at the MFC.

Not sure either deserve rising star noms just yet though, still plently of improvement as you would expect.

Definitely not worthy of a rising star nomination this round.

I will call you biased. Cause that's what you are after that call.

He was okay. The goal was from a soft free kick and he took one great mark.

Other than that, he was serviceable at best.

Was it Trengove who got poked in the eye last week. At half time he came up the race clutching a towel to his right eye. May have played with limited vision in the right eye.

No rising star for JT. His first half was terrible. Happily, he got his game back in the second half and kicked ass, but a half osn't going to be enough for a Melbourne player to get a nod. Pretty sure that was his first goal for the red and blue too.

Posted

I don't mind if Trengove misses out on a nomination this week. Given his mature decision making I can see more games like this, and better, going forward for him.

He will get a nomination this season at one stage. Todays game might be average compared to what he could do later on this season.

Bad comment, was easily a free kick.

While their fitness is amazing, Scully was well and truly spent late in the 2nd quarter. I felt so sorry for him - he just couldn't chase any more!

Servicable at best? i disagree, i think he contributed significantly to the victory.

Your selling his game way short im afraid mate. anyway, it was just an opinion, lighten up your team won,

Maybe you are right. I was sitting MCC and it looked like the umpire just plucked it out of nowhere !

As you said, opinions opinions. I'm happy Melbourne won. I just disagreed with the fact that his game

warranted a rising star nomination.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.
