Jack Trengove

[Grimseyisgod 378]

Sylvia had his first full pre season and he's playing really good Football, i am really hoping Trengove will get one this year and have the breakout year we're all hoping for

my god! finally someone who agrees. Sylvia is playing really good football!

Sylvia, Watts and Trengove are fast becoming Melbourne's 3 favourite whipping boys. I agreed with our whipping of Cale Morton because he was a genuine spud.

These guys are guns of our club and lay the hell off and let there footy do the talking

Hahaha i still remember cale morton running away from brendan lade! classic

Anyone who suggests match fitness as a reason for his lack of speed needs to be horsewhipped. Trenners is slow from the first bounce till the final siren and has been for over a season. Thats not match fitness to blame but something else. As i have said before, Blease has very poor aerobic capacity and still rings rings around Captain Plod. If it IS something else, i want to know what [censored] made the decision to play him injured and destroy any semblance of confidence he had......

ah...so now you think there might be something wrong with him like the rest of us apologists do.

biggest soft C*ck we have ever had.

If we and the media dont stop bagging these players out they will ingrain into their minds that they are disappointments.

Imagine Damien Barrett and Caroline wilson in a room together with that video? the amount of crap that would come out of a combination like that would be mind blowing.

A free moving Trengove...

How he went number 2 looking at that footage is beyond me, he plods around even as an 18 year old and his field kicking is all up and under rubbish.

Show me the posts where i have said he is in perfect nick, but is still a spud......

Cant?. Figures.

His kicking is a bit up and under but almost every kick in that video goes exactly to the right spot for the forward to mark it. Obviously has to adjust that to AFL level but still look at the results form those kicks. And he burns a lot of those guys with pace in that video. Not everyone but you can't watch those highlights and say he was plodding.

I like a man who answers his own questions. Keep up the good work.

I agree, I think he is pretty slow there too.

Yeah, the kid runs like a gazelle and kicks like a mule........

You must be wrapped with how we are travelling champ.

[Tricky 341]

Has anyone here actually had a bone fracture in their foot? Because they are pains of things to get over, he is still obviously suffering from it. Just can't wait until he gets over it COMPLETELY and starts hitting his straps, then we will see these forums talking him up like they should be instead of continually kicking a man when he is down.

We are after a club culture, as fans we are a part of that. I doubt having cheap, pot shots at one of the co-captains is showing loyalty to a rebuild. Where, obviously, he has had so much to deal with. The least we owe him is our support. If i recall correctly, he re-commited to the club when we were looking all doom and gloom, when Scully was taking the money and running, this man was stepping up and showing there are players who are wanting to be apart of this club and help lead them up the ladder. Now an injury which has gotten him down on form and confidence, has sent this forum into overdrive. Honestly, some of the people on here are borderline ridiculous.

Good post.

Seconded.

I can't speak for others, but I have no problem with Trengove it's the clubs management of him I have the issue with. If he is still recovering as you say then he should not be playing - simple. No point throwing him to the wolves and risking further aggravating the injury and allowing him to flounder in full public view while trying to lead the worst side in the last decade out of the mire. Take him out and get a plan in place to get him right for next year and if he plays some games this year it's a bonus.

Trengove, IMO, has the character where he wants to do all he can for this club, lead us in the right direction. If this involves playing through pain, thats the kind of guy he is. But those types of things are easier said than done.

+ 1 and that is why he is a leader and admired by the playing group

[old dee 23,791]

I think the guy is a good half forward.

But why don't we let the kid enjoy his couple of weeks rest.

He probably deserves it right now.

Seeing that video, it is clear that he has put on A LOT of weight since he was drafted. It's entirely possible that this is affecting him quite a bit, remember Bater in his first couple of years before he packed on the pounds?

[Deespicable 2,726]

In Jack's first couple of seasons, pace wasn't as much of an issue and he regularly looked dangerous on the run.

Since Neeld arrived and made him captain, he seems to want to do the team thing and tackle, rather than break into space and take the game on.

Then he's had injuries that have obviously stopped his speed work.

He still played well against GWS and up in Brisbane and he has really good vision.

So he can can still play, my only worry is leg-speed.

I just hope they have a sprint specialist helping him (not Misson) at training to make sure he pushes off hard and he's one player who should be doing 50x50m sprints once a week until he overcomes his speed deficiency.

We all know he has a tank and he will be more suited to fewer rotations next season.

Sorry about bringing up an old thead but i stumbled across this

Jack Trengove gives me hope that the future of the club is in good hands, i really hope he can get his best form going on field, the young man deserves it.

[Deecisive 1,709]

There are a lot of talented players who dont have leg speed but they have a great ability to dodge and weave, and deliver the ball well. Not seen any of that this year from Trenners. I would have preferred he found a bit of form with Casey (if possible) before he was bought back in, bringing him back in, if he is in the same poor form does neither of us a service.

[Adam The God 30,259]

That footage from '09 shows a vastly quicker player. Though some of that could come down to confidence.

Good article but you would expect the comments from any of those close to him. I wonder if there advise is different behind closed doors.

Yeah, i have a terrible feeling he will be one of many players that might look for a new home in the next year or two if the board is silly enough to stick with Neeld

[rhaz 342]

If Neeld has any balls at all, he will drop him.

[Matt Demon 1,430]

Bloody hell he's like a witches hat!

[Ted Lasso 19,518]

I actually thought his second half was a pass, his first half was quiet and he looked a little more free with his running,

certainly not the worst player we had today
