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...

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
