There is one thing that is stopping Trengove from becoming elite and he needs to address it now.

His acceleration is shocking, the first three steps are the most important, and this is the one thing that his hindering his development.

Now, the status quo on here will dismiss this and ignore the fact that I do rate him highly. But, we need elite players and he won't reach elite status if this isn't addressed.

He will be a very good player, possibly even a club great but we need players like him to tear games open.

Simon Black moves like a snail and is a champion.

Whilst I sort of agree in theory with the OP, Trengove's ace up the sleeve, which will hopefully lift him into the upper echelon of players once in his peak, is his outstanding overhead marking ability. He may not have the dash or speed of the more dynamic midfielders in the league, but his aerial ability is elite for his size, allowing him to play effectively as a forward, and perfectly complementing his hard, smart inside midfield play. It pretty much will allow him to effectively break hard tags in the future.

He has great core strength as well which will only improve with a couple more pre-seasons. This will make it extremely difficult for him to get taken down in tackles without getting an effective disposal away, similar to Ablett.

I don't know how you say that, as if he is lacking (re speed) as he's about the same as Hodge, and he's pretty reasonable.

He's not built to be a Davey.

Gary Jnr is a different kettle all together. Speed and everthing a rare breed, like Buddy. Hodge is just as important tto them.

We need the Mitchell, the Osborne, and the Lewis types to compliment Our Hodge, and the Cyrols & we have our Buddy. He just hasn't realised it yet.

To be fair though Black relies on handball more than any other attribute.

I would love a Simon Black in our team. Maybe then we wouldn't get smashed in clearances every week.

Speaking of achilles heal though, I believe Jack Watts major one is in that final moment when he is about to take a mark. He seems to ease off just at that last second, which I believe costs him contested marks every week. He needs to watch the way Hurley attacks a contest at full throttle from the moment he makes a lead until the ball is in his hands.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
