Jack Trengove would be picked up by EVERY other club in the land. He is not a plodder. There are a few plodders on this thread though.

I watched Trengove in the under 18's and he was top shelf. I watched Trengove in his first two years and really liked what I saw. He showed all the makings of a player that would become one of the b

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

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.

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

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
