Grimes, Trengove, Watts. Don't rush it. A year or so ago the Ox and Leach were talking of a Jones over McLean for captain. Life changes to quickly to rush a young player in to soon. Let the best captainemerge in time.

Good call. It's so hard to know how players will go at captaincy, but particularly when they're still finding their feet at AFL level.

I'm confident that good leaders - and a good captain - will emerge from one of the young guys we have at the moment.

best thing about trengove is that when he's lining up for a set shot you can start adding 6 points to our score... Great kicking technique IMO

His goal kicking accuracy is actually pretty average, as stated on the coverage.

I too think he will be a future captain, and having met him on several occasions, and spoken to him for a few hours, I know that he is a great young man, and has developed so much since I first met him in regards to his confidence and ability to speak in public.

He is a gun player too!

(always feels a bit strange when I look up to someone who is almost half my age!)

I was going to mention his accuracy as well ( and I did hear them mention his inaccuracy it on the replay) but I think these stats can lie. He is not a deadeye like Green used to be - kicking them from anywhere. But i can only remember a couple of times when he hasnt kicked the ones he should have kicked. I think he is a fairly reliable kick at goal from anywhere inside the fifty on anything less than a 45 degree angle.

We're going to need the Grant Thomas' Rotating CaptaincyTM to give all these "deserving" kids a go: Watts, Scully, Trengove, Grimes, Moloney, Jones... Fitzpatrick?

Fwiw, I'm actually in favour of this system.

There is never a need to do anything st kilda does,in fact the opposite is preferably.Jack Trengove as skipper for the next decade,to stamp his authority would be great.Scully as captain is like dancing with your sister....well maybe with the right banjo riff,but about as inspirational as a brick.

Moloney,would be a good skipper ala Jnr.Will he be there on that special day?Jones "as above"Grimes,has enough trouble just getting on the paddock.

Yep JT for skipper,JW as VC of the next MFC premiership team.

How do you know that?!

Same was said about JMac and he was a superb captain - his efforts only more appreciated since he has left.

He might not be demonstrative onfield (he's 19 it should be noted), but he never flinches in the clinches and runs as hard as any AFL player.

If Trengove is captain material, so is Tom Scully.

Mini-bump.

Trenners would be a courageous and inspirational choice as Captain heading into 2012.

He would absolutely thrive on it, I reckon. 10-12 year Ricciuto-style leader to set the example on-field for others.

I'm starting to think potentially losing this guy to GWS next year would hit us harder than losing Tom this year.

He is clearly a more complete player than Scully and this is not just because of more advanced physical maturity.

If our football club are not flat out securing JT as a single club player/captain we need shooting.Jack Trengove is maybe the best thing I have seen at this club in the last 20 years.

I agree. He plays all parts of the ground well which means you can put him right in the hotspot when the game is in the balance.

Give Green one more year and if Trenners shows what he has shown this year, give him the captaincy for 2013 onwards.

My man crush grows by the day.

I've seen enough this year, why wait?

Green OUT

Trengove IN

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
