DEVIL OF A TIME - Match Preview and Team Selection

[Deemotivated 550]

Hope he comes back better. Surely his body must be OK.

The guy has a great pair of hands; and as if he aint quick, he needs to use them.

Get him tapes of Sam Mitchell and jobe watson etc... become that type of mid.

Spot on. If we could get a clearance and quick ball into our forward line JT could become very handy. He has a little bit and I stress little bit of Jimmy bartel about him.

He's been fumbling and dropping marks. He can't afford to be a 2 touch player.

Get him tapes of Sam Mitchell and jobe watson etc... become that type of mid.

Closer to home, watch Dom Tyson or even better watch some of his own first and 2nd year video.

[Gorgoroth 13,024]

I think once the rest of the players get up to standard Trenners will look quicker as he won't spend 3/4 of the game chasing players so will have more energy to spend on attacking.

[Still Waiting 94]

Is actually a bit bereft of pace and ball handling skill. Trade bait I was told last week. Not one of Roosey's highest priority players. Like him as a bloke but as a top footballer he has pretty much missed the boat. He has mates in this area too.

[What 18,810]

Trengove FINALLY dropped

Been calling for this since the start of Neelds tenure

Good to see we have some serious coaches now

[Craig Drinker 179]

Would have liked to see Blease in for Byrnes. Having said that, it would have been difficult to drop Byrnes as he had a decent crack against the Eagles and I understand the selectors view.

Despite Bleases inconsistency he seems to be a rarity in our team, a player who likes to take on the opposition, no matter what their position is on the ladder. We have nowhere near enough of his type on our list imo.

Surely you dont want to drop our leading goal kicker?

[P-man 13,366]

Byrnes has kicked 40% of our goals. He was never being dropped.

[dees189227 12,401]

Same with Carlton - Brock McLean is gawn

Sylvia cant get a game with freo even though they lost 2 mids this week. Obviously not going to get an easy run at freo

[Craig Drinker 179]

Yeah I know and really didn't do much wrong against the Eagles, so fair enough. I'm just looking to the future a bit. Hard to see Byrnes bothering too many opposition teams with his pace.

Trengove FINALLY dropped

I really get no joy out of Trenners being dropped but its not really bout any individual..You have to construct the best team.

And as such any and all players are just a piece of this puzzle . For mine their individual careers mean ABSOLUTELY nothing, that is nothing more than they can contribute and if they cant cut it...its over there with the others...and then off the list in some fashion.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Trengove isn't just a slow runner, he's a slow thinker and is slow to dispose of the ball.

That's what separates him from the likes if Mitchell and Watson.

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

You mean Trengove here?

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

I like Evans. He is attacking.

[praha 11,240]

Trengove's career could be at a crossroad.

[Little Richard 6,265]

Trengove isn't just a slow runner, he's a slow thinker and is slow to dispose of the ball.

That's what separates him from the likes if Mitchell and Watson.

But the extremely sad thing is that he wasn't always like this.

[DemonOX 8,801]

Trengove's career could be at a crossroad.

The careers of half of Melbournes list could be at the crossroads Cudi. Trenners ain't on his pat malone.

[Alcho Dee 269]

And how is Mr Watts going to play this weekend? Big game for him.

[olisik 4,060]

Evans is gonna smash it. He always rampages on his returns.

[Alcho Dee 269]

Frawley at FF.

[Return to Glory 8,448]

Seems like a hell of a bloke but I'm not sure Trenners would make any other team at present. Appears slow and undersized and with little upside. Before I'm torn to shreds, I hate thinking this and would like to be wrong.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I think he's always been a slow runner.

[rjay 25,093]

I think he's always been a slow runner.

Not a slow thinker though and this is really letting him down now.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Trengove isn't just a slow runner, he's a slow thinker and is slow to dispose of the ball.

That's what separates him from the likes if Mitchell and Watson.

So many Melbourne players lack the ability to get ball to boot quickly and effectively. Other players have that ability to get a kick off quickly when under pressure, or create a bit of space with sharp lateral movement and quick thinking, while so many of our players just don't have that ability. Fooked if I know why.
