Trengove - Dees first rising star nominee?

Recommended Posts

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.

Nice one mate. no drama's. Opinions are like backsides, every one has one!!

Bad comment, was easily a free kick.

Thought it was Scully that got the poke in the eye.

That's two points for two correct answers.

I believe it's a three way race this week. Trenners was most dominant in our third quarter which was also the quarter where we nabbed the lead and kicked 4.3 to 1.1. He also had 23 very good disposals and was one of our best.

Melksham should be praised - he was chucking himself at the players as if it was his last game - but it was his first. A great all round effort from him.

Bastinac has emerged as a very exciting midfield/tagger prospect for North. He held Daniel Kerr to 3 touches in the first half.

Anyways, great to see a win and I think either of these three deserve to win it equally. These three should all get nominations during the year anyway.

Was definitely Scully that was poked in the eye last week.

Amazing way to get the facts wrong then run with it!

Trengove was quite good, and that is all. He's played pretty well in all three matches - the first was his best; probably the most consistent young player so far. He'll get a nomination sooner or later, but this thread is ridiculous.

When looking at 'gun' youngsters, don't forget that Grimes hasn't played many games - not even a full season's worth? Is there a better player in the comp with only that many matches under his belt?

Scully didn't look great today, although not shocking. I think there are two factors in this.

1. He may not be as not as fit as he should be, having come back from a serious injury. Forget about that beep test rubbish; it's not relevant when you've missed as many weeks as he did. I don't think he did what you call a 'full pre-season'.

2. He's not playing in the right position. He's an on-baller, not a wingman. In videos of his play from last year, he seemed to have a license to go where he likes.

I think he'll be fine, but at this stage Trengove is showing a bit more.

he was very good. bastinac was better though imo and martin was one of the best in a losing team (plus has been better past 2 weeks)

on scully, anyone notice he has overshot kicks like 3-5m quite a few times, he's just too powerful obviously :) at least he can handball straight though unlike half of our team

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?

I thought trengove was fantastic too...def deserves a nominee....he hasn't played 25-30 games as we all know...i think a mature body and being around the club is far more vitial than playing 25-30...but they kinda go hand in hand...grimes was awesome...hey's played less than 20 games been at the club 3 years...

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
