Jack Trengove. His Star Yet To Shine?

The thing about Trengove is that he has always been a very physical player. As a junior he played as a physically dominant player who would throw others around. In AFL he hasn't been able to do that because he's been a kid. But that's not his style.

As he gets bigger he'll be better able to play the style of game that he naturally plays. Very similar to what happened with Hayes, who has been getting better and better as he's matured. Trengove is no speed demon, but he'll be a really good player once he is physically able to play his natural game.

    He has done it but got weeks 'Axis' and I reckon that set him back a bit. The AFL used him as an unfair sacrifice on the sling tackle issue and I reckon it had a big effect on him in his 2nd season.

    Could his injury be a blessing in disguise? Maybe less expectation being placed on him because of an injury in the pre season will help him to get some real confidence in his own game with a little bit less pressure?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
