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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
