    I think Trengove's pace is an issue, however it can be combatted.

    If Trengove can just gut run and make every contest, he will make up for it.

    I believe he can become a superstar, but just needs confidence and to stay injury free. He has more upside than most midfielders

    He just wants a spot freed up on the list so Juice can return.

    If Trenners can't come back and have a big year next year I think his place on the list will begin to be questioned. Once Blease Tapscott Strauss Nicho are gone at the end of this year, Trenners will be moving closer to the chopping block if he can't come back and make an impact.

    You are a muppett PF. You are nothing but a troll who enjoys drinking in your own bath of negatively and constant criticism on basically any young player on our list.

    Go back to supporting Carlton.

    You are only as good as your last game, Trengove is of Casey standard, maybe not even.

    I think he has a lot of work to do, A LOT.

    From what I've seen of Jack Trengove the past 2 years, it will be hard for him to break back into the senior side.

    The problem? He lacks aggression, a will to get the ball at any cost. MFC is no longer a side where you just go through the motions.

    I haven't been impressed by Trengove the past few years, he has much work to do.

    A few things though

    1. He was captain way too soon impacting his form

    2. He missed a fair bit of footy with injury

    3. He was in a rubbish side with a rubbish coach

    4. He may have been carrying this injury for a long time

    Trengove doesn't shirk contests. He runs hard to get the ball. But you are right he hasn't got that Nathan Jones or Jack Viney level of aggression but neither does Vince or Tyson.

    Whilst he can be part of a rotation or do a job as an inside midfield I believe his best footy is as a Steele Sidebottom outside mid/half forward who runs all day and accumulates quality possessions. However he needs to at least have average speed not to be slow to make it in that role. It all depends on how well he recovers but there's so much time I don't know why people are rushing to judgement.

    Disagree, I think he's an inside mid and we have been trying to play him as an outside mid/half forward where his pace gets exposed more so, I want to see him at the bounces.

    I can see why we've tried to play him in both.

    The fact is, Trengove doesn't have the pace to play as an outside midfielder - but he does his the class and finish. However, because he doesn't have the breakaway pace, he isn't effective at all.. So we try play him as an inside midfielder, but the problem with that - is that Trengove doesn't have the aggression or toughness to play as an inside midfielder.

    Trengove needs to play with more intent if he is to make it as a midfielder.

    Dead set, surely in the COC there's something about continually causing conflict. I don't mind posters who try and debate whether a player is done but this clown drops a bomb in every thread and runs.

    Our threads go so off-track, let's start making these posters aware this forum isn't a place to make a mockery of supporters who actually want to talk Melbourne footy.

    I avoided this thread for a while due to its heading. "Trengove, calling it now". I just assumed it was another negative thread predicting Trengove's demise. Glad that it wasn't although the usual suspects (you know who you are) have shown that they didn't learn from their grandmothers. You know, the lesson in life that says "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

    On the contrary, I call it like I see it.

    Bit harsh Troll?? I think not,

    I can for example, find nothing but invigoration and admiration for most players on the list.

    JONES, DAWES, GARLAND, TYSON, SALEM, KENT, DUNN, FRAWLEY, JKH, AND THE LIST GOES ON AND ON

    However some players in my opinion are either not up to it, and for a variety of reasons lost it! Eg

    a) Lack of work ethic

    b) Bad luck with injuries

    c) Ordinary and or highly speculative picks to start with etc etc. (And of course we have had plenty of those)!

    Jack Trengoves case he has not played good footy for two years, whether or not that is the fault of injury or the pace of the game has caught up with him. The fact of the matter is he has not developed and improved as we would have liked.

    IMO I believe his lack of pace is decisive and further I don't believe he will get this back ( was he ever quick to start with?)

    In this modern game if you are slow unless you are a ball winning freak that hurts opposition with your disposal you won't get a game.

    Q Can we afford to have a player like this in our side and if yes what position ( which currently is being taken by someone else) is he going to take???

    Pity but I'm calling it now, Rose coloured glasses are wonderful and look, would love he proves me wrong, but Not IMO and those who don't like my opinion

    Stiff!!

    Troll ?? Nar just calling it as I see it!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
