What's the go on him, no real news?

will he be fit to play? or will we have to wait to see our skipper?

Posted

He is not injured, we are under attack, he is our captain, he should play or the captaincy title is just bs.

Posted

Please can we have just one captain, that would be Grimes, though Mitch Clark would be nice.

His performance in the VFL did not warrant a call up.

Says you... Who has NFI what role he was asked to play, and what KPIs he was being judged on to assess his readiness to return to AFL level.

It never ceases to amaze me the ignorance & naivety some posters display...

Barely touched the ball at VFL level. Doesn't take a genius to see he isn't performing to an AFL standard yet.

Over examine it anyway you want, whatever helps you sleep.

End of the day he barely impacted the game last week for Casey.

And Sellar,Pederson,Gillies,Garland,Dunn are AFL standard???

Sadly being AFL standard is not a prerequisite to play for the Demons.

The last thing this team needs is another plodder who cant chase his opponent. The captaincy title should not come into it.

I'd rather a plodder who can't chase than a slacker who won't chase.

Me too, but either way he wont improve our team i reckon.

Neeld confirms in todays HUN that he will play as will T-mac and Terlich. I believe Trengove will make alot of people eat their words once he gets the right balance in his game between attack and defence. He may not be quick but I watched Watson, Swallow, Kennedy and Gibbs all give best on performances last week. None of whom are quick but have great endurance, work ethic and the knack to find the pill.

Trengove would be wasted at Casey. I'd swap him for his buddy Tapscott and play him on a HFF

Posted

Plodder?! No other team in the entire competition would think that of Jack Trengove.

Not sure 2012 would suggest he was more than a plodder RB.

However he has bugger all Pre season, a serious foot injury and Poor form ( not really surprising ) last week with Casey.

I would wonder why he would be played this weekend.

If as many suggest we are only 1 week into a 22 game season.

Why play him before he has shown has some touch and the fitness to go the distance in an AFL game.

In is not as though he is coming off a wonderful 2012

Now that is a good idea DemonWA, it is hard to see him being worse than Tapscott

I think that is his spot.

IMO that is where he has played the vast majority of his good games.

we are trying to make him a mid simply because we have only 1 mid at present.

Problem is, Trenners is so 'not quick' he wouldn't catch any of those blokes and he doesn't find the pill as much as them.

He doesn't deserve a game, which is why he'll get one, it's the MFC way.

I hope I eat my words, I love the kid and want him to succeed, I just can't see him being more than average midfielder, rather than the gun midfielder we hoped to draft.

Either way, he'll make sweet FA difference to this weeks outcome.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
