Jack Trengove

[Demonland 72,180]

The talented midfielder showed great maturity and improvement in his second season. Missed three games in controversial circumstances after being cited for his tackle on Adelaide's Dangerfield. 

The future leader demonstrated his loyalty to the club late in the season by extending his contract till the end of 2015.

[rpfc 28,415]

Really looking forward to his career.

Great head on his shoulders.

Start of 2013 and our best mids will probably be Trengove, McKenzie, Gysberts, Viney, and Bail. Maybe Moloney ahead of Bail...

Brave new world...

[Kento80 83]

Future star for sure. The way he carried himself all through this year, from T$gate to tacklegat was sensational. A kid who we can all be really proud of as a committed MFC player.

[DemonWA 3,934]

He reminds me alot of a tripple premership, brownlow / normsmith medallist player for the Cats.... Reliable set shot and goal, great overhead, likes the tough stuff, and is generally a footballers footballer!

He's our Jimmy Bartell.

Maybe Moloney ahead of Bail? All those names have a long way to go to be ahead of Moloney!

Anyway Jack had a great year. Overhead marking is great, skills a very good. A lot of strengths for the kid! Hope he can continue his improvement!

Nope, he's our Jack Trengove, and would that he could reach ANY of the heights of Jimmy Bartel! One thing is, he will captain of an AFL club before JB! Maybe he'll acheive everything Bartel has, and that will be his point of difference, hehehee.

Viney, in his first season, will be in our Top 5 midfielders? Wowee, this kid must be good (especially considering in his first year he will be better than Moloney).

A lot of people on here see the Bartel comparison - I'm buggered if I do! JT to me is a clone of Luke Hodge. Has shown that agressive side early in their career (Hodge had to be told to settle down by the club IIRC), can go forward and kick goals, or play the sweeper role on half back. I guess that's what Bartel does too, but I just think build-wise, JT and Hodge are very, very similar.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Very good player, could be a star, just needs an extra half a yard of pace.

The future leader....................

[Striker475 696]

Man crush.

Although concerningly, isn't 2015 when he becomes available under free agency?

Nope. He would need to have given 8 years to the club. That puts it at the end of 2017 before he's a free agent.

I also think the world of this kid. Every time he appears in public he does something to further the reputation of te football club. He must be the PR department's dream come true.

[Nasher 33,616]

My only concern is that I see him through such ridiculously rose coloured glasses that even I recognise it, so I could be setting myself up for huge disappointment (cue rpfc...). I just find it really hard to form an objective opinion of him.

Anyway, he's a certainty for the captain role after Green makes way for mine.

[Deeoldfart 8,030]

Trenners is a smart and hard-working footballer. He's as hard as nails with courage to match, has very solid skills (especially overhead marking) and shows maturity beyond his years and experience. He's a ripper and we are very lucky to have him. His loyalty is an added bonus. Fifth placing in the Bluey in only his second year was an exellent achievement. If he continues to develop as I expect, he will be a star and a leader at our Club.

Just love this young bloke. It's all been said above, nothing more to say.

[McQueen 17,864]

2009 number 1 draft pick by a [censored] mile.

[DemonDing 56]

Just completely of the topic but im currently in koh samui and I had the pleasure of bumping into trenners last night and as I tell u what he's a deadset freak of a bloke, could also be that we shared 46 beers and shots but yeah as soon as I said I was from Melbourne me and my two mates [censored] on with him tappy and gawn to all hours in the morning, best night ever!! Maxy gawn could possibly be the funniest bastard getting around too, sorry guys just wanted to get ppl jealous hahaha!!!

[Kento80 83]

[censored] Sounds like it would have been a fun night! Just please tell me that the Dees boys weren't strutting around at night with their shirts off like some kind of heroes like the Norf gooses I saw there a couple of years ago.

Co-Captain 2012.

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Congratulations on getting co-captaincy, a more deserving recipient you will not see. Thanks for sticking by us when we were going through that rough patch too, you are a gun!

[rpfc 28,415]

If Grimes has his usual 'OMG he has broken what bone?" injury, Trengove may find himself "The Captain" for a few games.

I'm sure he will handle it fine.

[Swampfox 190]

This guy is the real deal

Nothing stopping Jack from being a 300 game Demon Champion

Will drag alot of players with him is what excites me

Still think he will be an AA captain before his career is over ..............who knows what else

First player picked IMO

[olisik 4,060]

Hanging to see this kid captain his first game on the weekend. I think he'll give the Hawks a run for there money.

[dpositive 1,665]

Good post Oli

diverting from the unknown saga to the issue of footy

Like you hope he meets all the requirements of selection .

Again like you I think he'll give the hawks a hard time

Go Dees
