Trengove is a quality individual and at least the equal of Scully in terms of men you want around a footy club. I was at demons training at AAMI on Thursday prior to NAB cup and I overheard media from several networks praising Trengove as a player and person. After training I experienced his humility first hand as he stopped and chatted with my 6 year old son on his way of the ground.

I started this thread because Trengove appears to have an unassuming manner, but also an unassuming public profile. It doesn't seem that other teams plan how to play him, whereas I reckon they plan for Davey, Green, Jurrah and Frawley. Maybe other Dees players haven't yet earned closer scrutiny adn study from other teams.

Some players have natural grunt - Jones, McKenzie, Bail

Some players look like duds early on but grow slowly into AFL standard footballers. Jamar, Watts, Garland

Others have a sense of balance and poise from day 1, and these players are usually taken note of from the first. Trengove is one of these players with natural poise and balance yet doesn't seem to have drawn the targeted plans of other teams.

However, if he plays in the NAB cup round 2 game with the skill and execution he showed against Port, the fovus of other teams radar may switch very quickly.

"Look like duds early"?

Maybe you could say that about Jamar, but not the others.

"Look like they are underdeveloped" maybe.

And Trengove is not yet overtly damaging to the opposition - yet.

When he learns how to really hurt other sides, he'll be one of the many they try to stop.

I see him as a bit like Bartel or Goddard - so valuable to a side, because they can go and play anywhere and not only fill that position, but excel.

A true elite utility.

He will be valuable for us because he will be able to eliminate any apparent weaknesses.

yes well said

versatility has been Bailey's mantra all along. The likes of Watts and Morton will play over the shop too and we will be a very challenging matchup overall

i really think the best of trengove is still to come. he is a couple more years off.

he faded out at the end of last season. i think he just got to sore from the workload. (sellwood had ablett and bartel etc..)

he will get a lot more attention this year and If we play final this season it will be a big workload for him.

he could be a 40 game player by the end of this season.

from what i've read about trengove he's a smart boy...studying physio at uni. melb uni i think.

Definitely the most 'çomplete' game he has played for the club. He was prolific and clean with almost everything he did. Okay, it wasn't against the best but it should give him a lot confidence going forward that he can be one of the club's top 3 or 4 players on a consistent basis.

Well done Trenners!

good call Jordie,

Trengove was great today. Loads of important touches and should of ended up with more goals. Kid is going to get better and better..

Did he hit the post twice or three times? Great today.

Also loved the way he linked up with Tapscott a few times, seemed to know exactly when & where to make position when Tappy got possession.

3 times i think. Two of them came within 60 seconds of eachother... if 2 out of 3 of those went in it would've lifted him to a EXCELLENT game. Greeny kicked 2.4 with 2 out on the full as well.

Could you get a more unassuming profile than Scully??

If he wasn't no 1 you wouldn't hear a world about him (other than for his freakish football skills)

I've said it a million times... he and Frawley are the two players I have ZERO worry about on the list.

He is as polished a player as I've seen at the club. Every time he gets it, he does good things. Born leader. Our own Hayes/Bartel, but better kick.

Gosh. We've turned over nearly 100% of our list in the last 3-4 years and brought in the likes of Trengove. I thought that's what we've been doing.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
