I'd take Trenners in the centre square over McKenzie every day of the week. Even a slow, lethargic Trenners is a better proposition than McKenzie. Trengove can handball and kick. McKenzie is ordinary at both.

McKenzie might actually get his hands on the ball though and if not he'll tackle someone. Trenners in the centre square is like having a witches hat.

I'm sorry but if you're drawing parallels from Michie and Magner, you clearly have little idea of the situation.I'll just bundle you in with the ignorant group who keep quoting; ' He's only played one

Spoke to a current player today , he said Mitchie will start at Casey. New players to come in to the team he thinks are : Cross - absolutely flying Vince - really good Tyson - doing well Hogan -

Some of the comments from Freo Supporters and how much they highly rate him.. ''Congrats guys, you just picked up a 150 + game solid on baller. I'm pretty devo ATM, but well done''. ''As I said earl

Don't agree.

Trengove will have a huge 2014.

Have to agree. Will be very surprised if he doesn't make the top 5 in the bluey.

Roos even said himself that he is going to let Trengove play his natural game of hunting the ball.

To let him play with instinct rather than a reactive role will be a sight to behold.

With a good side, neither would be anywhere near the centre square, they have not done enough.

Viney had far more impact in his first year than Trenners had in the centre this year.

Trengove has to lift notches next year to even get a gig in the centre.

Trengove isn't the quickest bloke about, but neither is Hayes, Ball or Selwood.

He just needs to be able to straightline the ball at contests, keep running all day, getting to stoppage after stoppage, putting his head over it and winning the hard footy.

I'm waiting for a Trengove Renaissance in 2014.

There was a reason why Trengove was number 2 in the draft and why he was made captain, 2012 & 2013 was poor because of injury, but we need him back to his best, because his best is elite. SHOW SOME FAITH IN THE YOUNG MAN FFS!!! But he needs a big pre season and confidence. I hope he is relieved from the captaincy for his own benefit and the clubs.

I just dont ever see him as an elite clearance player. That title goes to Viney in time. Trengove is an accumulator. He gets the ball through work rate and footy smarts and then uses it cleverly. I don't know if he'll be elite but I see him like Steele Sidebottom but stronger overhead marking. Which is why I think he will be played on a rotation between half forward, wing and some time in the centre square. And of course I expect him to bounce back and be a very good player, probably averaging low to mid 20 touches a game and kicking some goals as well.

You have 3 centre square midfielders at any one stage right? That's a total of 300% game time. I see Jones doing 70, McKenzie (tagging) 70, Vince 50, Viney 50 that's 240. Michie, Tyson, Trengove share the rest.

Paul Roos rates him as having absolutely A grade elite potential, and i have heard many other people say he has been played out of position, all he needed was confidence, to get over his injuries, and to get back into the centre bounce situations where he belongs, not on a wing or high half forward!

When I think of Trengove at his best I remember his tackle on Dangerfield which he was given 3 weeks suspension for. I remember him being aggressive and hungry around the contest and strong. It is just a shame how over the past 2 years he has played so differently to try to benefit the team, or through injury niggles/fitness, or the burden of captaincy, that our opinions of him have changed negatively compared to his first 2 years. But he is 22 and should have a breakout year 2014

hahaha.. harsh but fair.

Trenners will be a lot better next year. It'd be hard for him to be worse. There signs of momentum towards the end, just needs to empty the concrete out of his boots.

I expect a lot of time being put into Trenners this offseason to find out why he has lost a lot of his explosiveness and pace. And I fully expect it to return in 2014.

Also id like to see Luke Ball, Lenny hayes or Brock mcLean do this

Jack Trengvoe will be a superstar, and Im calling it now, he will win the Bluey next season

I don't know what Bailey and Neeld have done to him, but in his first season I recall being excited at his headfirst attack on the contested footy, long raking kick when he got it to his boot, and even some creative handball.

Come his 3rd season there was very little of any of that left.

He was just a reactive tagger.

I think you could say that about a lot of our players under Neeld....Reactive......Kick it to the boundry....No flair or attack.....Hope this changes next year....

As strange as this might sound to some I am just as excited if not more excited to see Viv Michie next year over Tyson.

I don't know why exactly, I can't quite put my finger on it, maybe because Freo didn't want to let him go.

Needless to say I am finally beginning to get prematurely excited to see what the club and particularly its young players will produce over the coming years with a coaching panel I feel confident about.

By no means do I expect top 8 next year, although competitive aggressive football with a few wins is looking likely.

Correct me if I am wrong but he only played one AFL game?

Sorry Roger but I am not excited.

I know I am speaking for OD as well but we may get excited if he can regularly perform on field at AFL level.

Actions speak louder then words.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
