Jack Trengove - sprint coach


What

Recommended Posts

One of the commentators (cant remember which one) made the point during the season that Jack Trengove needs a sprint coach over the summer as he has lost all his explosiveness and acceleration.

I think its something that has to be done, Trengove has the chance to become the star he is supposed to now Roos is in charge, and if he can get back that yard or two of pace he lost the last 2 years he will become one hell of a player.

Paul Roos certainly needs to identify what the issues are there, if he can't gain all of the speed back he needs to look at Ryan Okeefe and become the hardest running player at the club, he has class and skill and all that, i think alot of our players just need to be given a role and something to work towards!

Sprint coach would certainly not hurt a few of our boys.

A sprint coach will not help him regain pace or explosiveness, getting to the bottom of why he has lost it and fixing it might.

Remember Rioli getting trained to change his running style, nothing happened. He is still doing hammy's.

I'd be interested to hear if Jack trained with his sister growing up and before he got drafted.

Train slow, run slow and perhaps we have to work harder with Jack than others.

I find it impossible to believe that Trengove doesn't have groin issues. Problems with the groin greatly effect your power off the mark and the young Trengove I saw didn't run like he had concrete in his boots.

Trengove looks exactly like Luke Ball prior to moving to Collingwood.

They gave him a full time personal physio from memory, and it'd be worth us outlaying the cost of that for Trengove IMHO.

Hoping to see the old jack back next year after missing most of last preseason, another one under his belt with Roos, he should show what he is capable of.

Im not sure Jack will be the player everybody wishes him to be

Lower our expectations he may turn out an ok footballer not a star never.

Already have, lowered them ages ago. A shame. He has all the right stuff but for his speed and power these days. He's been crueled, we've been effectively dudded.

I see a player lacking pace who cannot get any distance with his kicks.

I cannot believe he has been carrying injuries for 2 years.

But hopefully we find out the truth soon.

Agreed

The stress fracture at the start of the year may still be effecting him but otherwise I think people are looking for an excuse.

I hope he does have some kind of fixable injury but if he did wouldn't we have heard about it through one of demonlands many sources.

Garry Lyon told the public about Frawley carrying an injury - I think if there was something wrong making it public it would ease the pressure on Jack.

It was Matthew Lloyd on 3AW. (He also said during the same game that Jack Watts needed an "intensity coach")

Most likely a combination of things, stress fracture, existing injuries ( OP ) pressure of being captain, pressure of supplements scandal, lack of confidence, worrying too much about other players,

i thought his performance become quite consistent towards the end of the year, and in the very last game he showed a little bit more zip

i'm sure Roos will have a plan for how to sort that out, i feel his zip back would make him a much better player, pace and confidence

This is a player who was taking speccies in the forward line to seal matches.

His ferocity at the contest and vicious tackling left us all proud and howling down the penalty for a sling tackle on Dangerfield.

This guy was capable of having a match-winning influence.

Something has changed, but he was that guy.

I'm convinced he has "manageable" OP, and it's crippling him.

We've seen a similar thing with Luke Ball years ago, and he came back from it.

Someone call David Buttifant, find out what he did & save Trengove's career.

You are talking about Trengove right?

Match sealer?

Maybe you don't remember.

It would've been 2011 I think.

I am pretty sure 2011 was the year where we either won by a lot or lost by a lot.

Apart from the Sydney draw of course. We just don't win many close ones.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
