Only 10 tackles. What a pathetic effort.

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.

"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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
