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

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!

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 :wub: !!!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
