Jack Trengove



Recommended Posts

Neeldy will be sacked by seasons end. Then we will hire experienced coach who will give captaincy to Jones and will let Trengove develop as a player without stress of captaincy.

hopefully John Worsfold, he will sort us out

How does that explain the first 15 minutes of a game, where he is the slowest player on the ground, Spencer included?

Spencer is quick. Pay attention!

I do not understand how him being captain of a struggling club and one of the worst teams in history affects his ability to run. Can some please explain.

I'm not sure about this one either 'Daz'.

...but the mystery is 'what is affecting it'.

It's sad, but I feel the captaincy is stopping us from dropping him.

From what I've seen this year, he's not best 22. Whether it's an injury, external pressure, something mental, or just poor form right now, I feel he's only playing because he's captain. He should have been dropped by now.

Perfect opportunity to put him into cotton wool, along with Grimes, and give the acting captaincy to Jones who actually deserves it, the bald tatted guy who can actually impact a game and inspire his troops.

So many excuses.

They said he wasn't carrying anything last year, when the season ended. Why cover anything up when the season is done? It came out that Frawley was injured during last season..,

In any event, he's out there, he's fair game. Carrying something? Do the team/captain thing, put your hand up and hit the rehab group. Rather than make us a man down any time there's a lose ball or anything that resembles a foot race.

Of all the rubbish we are watching, this is one of the hardest things to watch.

And Nathan Jones... Just walk in and announce you are now the captain. You have to do everything else yourself, so why not.

he was never the quickest player, but he doesnt look that slow early, but rather as the game progresses

No, he looked slow on a chase 30 seconds in to the game...

What do do..?

My understanding having spoken to someone well connected to the club is that Trenners is about to be put on ice and Jones will be our acting captain possibly until the end of the season.

Also a possibility that Grimes will miss nearly if not the whole season.

I simply dont think hes 100% right...not even 80% but Neeld still obviously thinks he represent beter value than others.. God help us.

If Trenners is less than good to go then he ought to be accumulating fitness in the magoos ( I dont care who you are )

If this IS as good as he is currently then hes an abject failure of a pick. 3 years ago was mecurial in SA...now hes really more a liability than an assett.

Theres something not right about asll this

I don't think it is anything mental, he is just slow with everything he does.

In his first year with us I thought he was a better player and had a better year than $cully, he's nowhere near that form now.

He can play and I'm sure he will come good there is something not quite right, and hopefully the club will get to the bottom of it; they need to rest him before he gets destroyed by the media. They will be watching him now.

We all know he has a issue with his foot and clearly isn't 100% yet.

Neeld needs to bite the bullet and rest him.

They will both get flogged in the media, but if you're not 100% then you shouldn't play, but the best response for them will be for him to come back when he is ready and silence the critics.

Sounds plausable.

did whoever you spoke to elabortae on tengove being put on ice? i guess what im asking is is he carrying an injury that requires further rehabilitation or by ice do you mean dropped to casey?

He needs to be at senior level.

hell be right.

He'll be right ????? Typical comment of a person accepting mediocrity with no valid evidence to support the statement She'll be right mate Melbourne will make the Top four etc etc ..... When will he be right ??? On what basis do you come to this amazing conclusion ??/

I think a lot of people are jumping to the conclusion that he is injured because they want that to be the case. He played very well last week didn't he? I remember people last week saying he was on an 'upward curve'!

for the last two seasons I have been of the opinion that Trengove is a half forward.

IMO the majority of his good games were when he played in that position.

He is not a mid field player.

As for the captaincy he should not have been given the job, too much for a guy trying to progress his career in a crap team where too much is expected of him.

I did not see his game yesterday but in previous weeks he has IMO not justified his placed in the side.

If he was a rookie he would have been dropped before yesterday.

He should be rested at Casey for a week or two.

He was actually great in his first two games back. I think he kicked two goals in each of those games, as well as having a few tackles and a number of contested possessions. The fact that he's quickly gone downhill speaks to how underdone he is as a result of his foot injury.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
