Over the summer there has been a lot of speculating and discussion about how this and that player need to improve, or how certain players are on their last chance. Scully, Maric and Watts in particular have received heaps of attention. Listening to the 2nd game tonight I had my say about my observations from the game, and posted a reply. As I was reading other people's posts I was reminded about the sublime skills of Jack Trengove. He is rarely out of position, reads the play so well and has a very trustworthy set of skills that don't falter too much under pressure.

What do you think - does he get under many Dees supporter's radar? Does he get beneath yours?

He wasn't the number 2 Draft Pick for nothing you know...He knows how to play just as well as Tom Scully.

We have multiple options now, opposition sides are going to have to keep many players quiet.

I know it's early days but Bails & the FD must be really proud of the work done so far.

.....he just makes me smile.

Speaking of which he always has a smile on his face like every day is just how he wants it to be, I've never seen anyone happier at training. He will be a star for us and if Sculls hangs around and Jack V is as good as either we will have one of the best midfields of the last 20 years.

I thought he tired towards the end of last year but early on I thought he was clearly our best newcomer.

He flies under mine. He just does everything so well without doing anything spectacularly, if you get what I mean. I notice him a lot more in the reply than I do live.

I went to the first open training session he attended last year. The first thing I noticed was his kicking. He was practicing short kicks with Gysberts. While Trengove had to move a few steps to mark the ball, Gys rarely even needed to shift his feet. It was a small thing, but I thought it was worth noting.

On top of this, all reports on him during the under 18 carnival talked about his ability to lift not just himself but the players around him when the pressure was on.

I don't think we can speak too highly of the potential impact he can have at the club.

Maybe he flies under the rader due to his quiet end to the season last year. He came back in round 19 after injury and couldn't replicate his promising start. I'd argue Trengove's first 14 games were better than Scully's.

Absolutely agree with this, he was terrifific for the first half of last year and his kicking is alot more reliable than the skull. Trengove reminds me of Greg Williams, perhaps a lttle slow but great hands, good in traffic and top footy brain. As he get stronger he will be such a key in the engine room.

he is all class, and will be one of those players that doesn't need 35 touches to kill the opposition. He could have 17 touches but its what he does with those 17 touches that will kill the opposition

Going to a great player for this club for many years to come.

Skills and poise have all been rightly heralded. His courage and strength I think go under the radar. For a kid his strength, balance and decision making in the clinches is the best I've seen along with Joel Selwood.

Cannot understate his importance.

How was the little give to Sylvia in the first half v Port?

0.00003% of players could see that option let alone execute. Salivating!

Yep, insane level of awareness right there.

The biggest improvement for me as a whole, was handball execution. We got a bit better at doing it last year, but we rarely ran into trouble yesterday.

We switched sides really intelligently, even against a team that zones as well as Adelaide. Our speed through the middle was also very evident, as well as our quickness of mind. Some of the handballs yesterday were lightening and it showed how much work we've put into this type of rolling play. Very exciting!

It's quite unbelievable really that someone like Trengove can slip under the radar, but all this focus on Scully means he's doing exactly that.

Cannot wait for him to unleash on the home and away season.

It's good for Watts to slip under the radar too. Must be relief to him the monkey is off his back and he looked better for it.

Trengove = future captain.

Have always rated Jack above Tom.If we were talking about Jack the same way as Tom,then I'd be sincerely devastated.If Tom goes before Watts,Trengove,Jurrah,Grimes I can live with that.I never expected to keep such a list together in the normalcy of AFL,let alone an expanded competition with an unfair advantage.

I do have renewed hope that a successful future and culture at the MFC will have some sway.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    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,
