Jack Trengove

[Eth 4]

Has been offered an $1800 fine for umpire contact. Again.

I think there's some people that don't like him...

Cited in his past 3 games!

Does it continue to be fines for ump conduct, or can it turn to a suspension (presuming the same classification and not reckless or intentional, of course!)

I don't know exactly how the progression works but the second offence is what Trengove got.

[Age 485]

If he keeps going like this, then we will definitely lose him next season to GWS as he will need to double his salary to pay his tribunal fines!

Getting a bit concerned that "TrenGOVE" seems to be spreading like a plague. I'm not the pedantic type, but where it's a person's name, it's important to get it right.

Wouldn't happen to be the same umpire he keeps running into?

This is becoming ridiculous! I have done my fair share of umpiring and I have been involved in some sort of body contact with a player on a few occasions. Half the time it was MY FAULT! When are the AFL umps going to take some responsibility for player contact? Gee, at some stages there are 34 players and 2 umpires all in one half of the ground. Makes for a very congested scenario indeed. Come on AFL Trengove doesn't go out there to try and clean up an ump! Share some of the blame umpires.

Oh my goodness Bobby, that would be way to logical.....

Far easier and more profitable to simply blame and fine the players as one big guilty group.

Honestly the kid is going to have start taking charity meals from his team mates if this keeps up !!!

By depriving JT of income through suspensions and fines they are encouraging him to focus more on the all important dollar so when he comes out of contract next year he'll consider signing up with the AFL's love child GWS.

Very logical actually......

When it is Chris Judd it is the umpires fault

Well yes, Chris is never wrong or ever at fault.....ever!!!

[Guest Thomo]

When it is Chris Judd it is the umpires fault

When it is Chris Judd touching an umpire it's normally consensual. (stolen form Richard Hinds)

[The Chazz 4,077]

Rules are rules, and he knows where the umpires are going to run after they bounce the ball.

Sorry, I know logic and reality is often not welcome in here!

JT needs to be very careful over the remainder of the season. He can't afford to give those pricks anything to slaughter him for otherwise they wont hesitate making an example of him. They did it to Beamer a few years back, and I think it cost him a couple of seasons to fully get his confidence back.

Agreed.

Poor kid - when the MRP start applying the rules consistently and fairly he might feel that maybe he did the wrong thing, until then, he is justified to feel a bit paranoid.
