Adelaide Game a Reality Check: Trengove

Featured Replies

Posted

I know that some of the stories posted on the club website are pretty soft but FFS Trengove describing the game against Adelaide as a "reality check' defies belief. What the hell does he think has been happening all year??

A reality check?? That implies they thought the team was travelling well and got knocked down a peg or two. A 69 point thrashing?? What, none of the other thrashings we have copped this year made any impact on you Jack??

Maybe he thought that coming off a 25 pt 'belting' of GWS had us staring at a finals spot. It sadly reminds me of the pathetically soft rhetoric from the Bailey days about 'getting games into players' and 'we aren't worried about results' as if by some process of osmosis simply playing 70 games will magically turn them into elite footballers (Cale Morton says hi)

I want to see some comments along the line of the reality bus rather than reality check. Does this club have a clue about where it sits?? Because its supporters do and it isn't good.

 

Haha i read that yesterday. How stupid do the club think the supporters are??

That article actually made me angry, and i honestly question whether the people running our club honestly know what to do to seriously improve.

It's like the cop from South Park "nothing to see here...you can all go home"

I don't know what you want him to say....maybe......"We are absolute crap and I'm pissing off now while I still can"

Or...."sorry not talking to anyone anymore, even when I am co captain"

What do you want him to say?????

Shut it and work harder on his own kicking would be a good start.

LOL good post.

Its the last time we ll probably hear from him for the year, he ll probably be off to a full moon party in Thailand to meet some ladies this time next week.

Bloody hell Wyl....He is captain ....he is expected to be interviewed after a match....So if he does 'Shut up'....You would be complaining that we never hear from him???

Mate i have no wish to hear that fluff. Its club spin. I want action on the green grass ok.

So don't read it.

So do I but until we do, the club has to put players up to be interviewed after the match...(AFL directive)...So they have to say something and have to toe the company line....

Have no problem with him being interviewed at all -its what you say.

It could have been worse. " the boys may have got ahead of themselves after the emphatic win against GWS last week"

You just don't talk like that after Round 22 in a nightmare season. Shows me this team is not prepared to actually change. It may want to, but cannot make the jump.

Sorry but that statement was a shocker.

So don't read it.

I always read MFC articles. This one i found almost offensive. Treats us members like idiots.

I caught the reality bus the other day. It was full of crazy people and junkies. All of them dressed in red and blue muttering meaningless platitudes and threatening to post them on Demonland.

Trenners doesn't have a way with words

Sure you don't mean Brent Moloney? The guy is as thick as two planks!

heyyy !!! I resemble that remark.

I reckon Craig told the boys how the Crows have been on their elite training path for a couple of years and that Melbourne is still way off the mark.

Coaches would be focusing on prepping the team for another monster pre-season and driving the point home.

Trenners was just repeating the party line... tedious and a bit offensive, but I'm glad he/they are focused on the work they need to do to close the gap.

A young player gives platitudes and mindless cliches in an interview with the press? My god, how could he? I've never, in all my years of supporting football, seen a footballer do this. Ground breaking.

Some of these kids aren't very good at speaking frankly in interviews. In fact, the vast majority of them aren't, but you can't just interview Jack Grimes all the time. Some of you really need to just learn which interviews you ignore and which ones are worth reading in to.

Instead of this club treating all of us as dipsticks...a bad mistake if they continue.

Why don't the media people at the club get a bloody grip!!!

Sick of this mob rolling out insulting stupid media conferences. Get someone with half a media brain to take care of it.....

 

The media gives us no respect, so we shouldn't bother giving honest or useful answers until things change.

Reality is its Men against boys....we need more men.

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
