I won't change: Trengove

Love this quote:

"You don't want to see anyone outdoing you so you want to be striving to become better all the time. It's examples like that that make you strive even harder and work harder at training to become a better player. I suppose he has kicked that into me this year" regarding Dustin Martin.

The Kid is all class! so impressive both on and off the field

Good read, stellar kid!

When watching him I keep thinking Bartel - looks to be a very good mark for his height, tough at the ball, good skills and a goal kicking midfielder. Funnily, like Bartel and Ablett, will always seemingly be looked at as second to Scully no matter what he does.

he is definitely more of a highlight machine than Scully, better-rounded too

Funny isn;t it - I see nothing of Bartel in the way that JT plays. The player I compare him most to is Luke Hodge. He has the solid build, the controlled agression (although Hodge was a bit uncontrolled at times), and can really have an impact forward, middle, or back. I appreciate Bartel can do that too, but I lean toward Hodge.

Either way I'm happy!

I actually think he is very much like Bartel too. He's a great mark for his size, tough and can kick a goal. Perfect player!

i just bought a new jumper got the number 9 put on it he will be a star no doubt i even get the feeling he could be better than scully

Believe me this young bloke is a natural leader and top quality individual.

I have a hard time not believing it, really.

I must say I love this kid and I too see Bartel in him, On the weekend tho a bit more hodge due to his kamakazie attack on the ball and more aggression than he had previously shown.

I have always been against co captains, but if we hold onto Scully and they named them co captains I would be happy.

More pace than Bartel.

Handballs more than Hodge.

Has been compared to Hird, but he has a lot more strength.

I'm ecstatic that he's the first Jack Trengove.

(Or is he?)

Yeah look, Bartel may be the closest... but he's actually slightly different from all of the above examples. He actually takes a hanger pretty well too. Maybe a bit of Buckley about him. To be honest the more I watch he and Scully the more I think Bailey may well NOT have to be the innovator we all want him to be. These two are blossoming already to produce a certain kind of footy that's their own. Trengove with smart decision making in the clinches, and extraordinary skill and level-headedness, and Scully with some VERY interesting habits starting to become clear. People say of him he's Cousins-like, which I personally have never seen. Others say Judd with his up and under kick, and extreme pace. I don't agree with that one as he's got nowhere near the size and contested bal winning ability... who does? He's starting to look a little bit like Swan to me as well with his massive engine and cruising speed around packs, and ability to predict both where the ball will be and where the opposition WON'T be. Only he's a better kick and is quicker, and has what will become the best handball in the league.

We're on the cusp of seeing an identity that not only MFC hasn't seen, but that the AFL hasn't seen. In terms of gameplan, we might follow the Geelong pattern (no complaints here), but the character with which it's executed, you can already see, is going to be VERY new and unpredictable. Easy to coach too. :D

Trengove is on Before the Game (channel 10) in about 5-10 mins

Ill watch only because I love the guy.

However, Before the Game is by far the worst show on television. The same jokes every week for 3 years, Lehmo and Mick Molloy along with Andy Maher and Dave Hughes all who know notihng about footy.

Just cannot stand it!

I enjoyed his look of smiling resignation when the question inevitably was asked.....

Very well handled. We don't see much up here but his media performances are rather entertaining !!!

I have always thought there was a bit of Lenny Hayes there.

Love his attitude, he is quickly becoming my favourite demon.
