10 tackles to boot, like his intensity in close.

Lenny Hayes and Joel Selwood aren't quick, but they can be explosive in short burts (one or two steps or with a handpass in close), Trengove doesn't have that.

He is getting better no doubt but everything he does (even the way he talks) is slow.

Agreed - he was outrun by Cox last week chasing a loose ball.

I think you would be very unwise to dismiss this bloke. But then I'm a crook judge. One of us will be right and happy to talk to you later Dr and will. Personally I love this kid.

Just watched the media conference with Jack and he sniffed and swallowed all the way through the conference. Quite possibly played with a head cold or flu.

Straight after the game, He was interviewed and said something along the lines of "They are all out to get us"

I really like this mentality. Us v them. Maybe it was a slip of how they are dealing with all the other external pressures.

Don't get me wrong I love the guy too and think he'll be a gun - he is playing better this year compared to last despite having limited to no preseason. His pace is a concern though I acknowledge this ccould be due to his lack of conditioning.

Loving his efforts lately.

For a bloke thats missed more than half the pre season, his two games have been true grit and full of merit.

Even the steely resolve he has been showing in the media lately has impressed me.

Definately growing into the captaincy, and you can see why his team mates admire him.
