Time to release Trengove as Captain and let him realise his full potential as a B-Grade midfielder

[Giles 181]

Ordinary at best.

[stuie 7,374]

"Releasing" him as captain will add more pressure now not less.

Remember he's coming back from a very limited preseason. Was higher rated than Grimes today in DT points, where's the pressure for him?

[Dee man 303]

Only 10 tackles. What a pathetic effort.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

I thought he has been very impressive as captain off the field and he is getting plenty of tackles, the fact he is probably still very underdone and it was a fairly high tempo game it seemed like he ran out of legs

we have much bigger issues than Trengove being captain

[RalphiusMaximus 6,099]

He was rated our fourth best player according to the DT points. 10 tackles is nothing to sneeze at.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

every time a commentator makes an anti-melbourne comment you can bet a demonlander will make a thread as if it was their idea

[DeeSpencer 26,091]

Yeah lets have Jones captain, what did he do today?

Or Clark?

Actually maybe only Grimes, its not like he gave up a goal with a clean turnover at least once was it.

How about we stick with the two we have and keep going.

If half the team tackled like Trenners we'd be miles better.

people quoting 'dreamteam points' know nothing about footy

[Giles 181]

Good to hear his tackle count is up. You tackle when you have the ball right?

[Lil_red_fire_engine 11,262]

We say we dont show effort yet you want to take the leadership off the guy who had 10 tackles. He was given our best player on the AFL site. Giles you are an A Grade tool.

Please reassure me about how JT is "very impressive as captain off the field"... What do you know? I so need some reassurance about this team off the field now.

[Yourenextdipper 19]

Delist. Bad draft pick. Their is nothing that he has shown to indicate he will be an AFL standard player. Slow, poor kick, can not kick long, poor awareness and uninspiring as a teammate. He was never seen as a high draft pick until late in the national championships, and Melbourne got caught up in the hype of his SANFL finals game. He was an early developer that could play well against jouniers or state players, but not up to it. Can't believe he was gifted the captaincy as a marketing play, embarrassing as a club. Should not play AFL again, cut the loses and move on.

Been watching his press conferences mate? he has been strong and confident under alot of pressure and is really growing as a leader and he has had 10 tackles today ( indicates he works very hard when he doesn't have the ball ) to do that two weeks in a row coming off a stress fracture is very impressive,

we had quite a few worse players than trennas today.

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Very harsh comments here.

Clearly underdone, but we had some dumb footballers today...he was putting on a block and I counted 5 or 6 times where the ball was handballed to him!!!!

Ffs, he was blocking!!!!

Dumb.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

He is just slow, it's not fitness becuase he does everything slowly.

Do we just? Bigger issues rather than a captain, being a midfielder , having there

pants pulled down by a Brisbane midfield missing Black, Rich and Polec to name

a few. I'd say its bang in the money as one of the biggest issues.

Watch much football ole mate?

[Tricky 341]

Good to hear his tackle count is up. You tackle when you have the ball right?

No, that's normally when you would get a disposal - he was equal 5th highest in those BTW...

But you're right, a hard tackling game just isn't glamorous enough.

Today was his 64th game, he is coming off a very serious injury, clearly underdone and a massive off field distraction and those are the factors we know of.

he has had what 17 touches 10 tackles i'd say that's acceptable

the biggest problem is we expect him to play like a 164 game player, he isn't it's a big effort to be out there at all

Not where i'd like him to be as a footballer either but to say he is deserving of the comments that are being made about him is insane.

[deeflog 679]

he is far from the top of our long list of problems

[Giles 181]

OK. So it seems we're happy with the way he’s travelling and the way we're going? That’s all I wanted to know.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Max Gawn for Capitan!!!

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Happy with Trengove all things considered i wouldn't consider his form an issue, happy with how we are going absolutely not because most of the team lacks the effort Trengove puts in.

[deeflog 679]

taking into account the pre season he had, i think he is progressing as expected

[Tricky 341]

5th is on the podium, yeah?

Think you're in the wrong forum.

Keep the quality posts coming.

[The HuLK 139]

I think he has the skills! I think we have made him into too much of a defensive player. Look at Luke hodge, his not quick at all but still Finds plenty of the ball.
