2014 Player Review - # 9 Jack Trengove


Demonland

Recommended Posts

After a promising opening NAB Challenge match against Richmond there was much optimism that Trengove was poised to rejuvenate his career without the burden of the captaincy. However, a broken foot detected in the first month put paid to his season.

I see him along with Jesse Hogan and Jimmy Toumpas as our three main "recruits" of 2015. I would throw in Jack Grimes who did play a lot but seemed out of sorts, as the fourth. They and the players to come in will make us a better team and hopefully hasten our rise.

You may as well add Col Garland to that list. He played no where near his best this season

We need this guy to go back to what he was showing in his first couple of years - big marks, big kicks, hunting the ball and the man.

Since the sling tackle he's been a shadow of what we expected.

Like everyone, I'm hoping the foot was the major issue, and that we get the prime midfield mover we thought we had on our hands.

You had me clapping until you got to the forth one WJ.

A bridge too far comes to mind.

I just hope this club hasn't worn him down and he's not now just going along for the ride. I hope he still has the same drive and hunger. He's going to need it if he's going to get anywhere near the player he was in his first couple of seasons, when in fact we need him to be going beyond that level. He's a number 2 draft pick for heaven's sake. We need to see some value.

2014 was make or break for Blease, Strauss and Tapscott, and we pretty much got our answer. 2015 is that year for Trengove.

I think the injury may well have been a major factor in restricting Trenners,

but I agree, 2015 he needs to take steps and show he's worth persisting with, he has shown how good he can be, which is why he won't be traded this year.

I just watched trenners video on the mfc website.
hes had a pretty tough run (most have at mfc), but he's still optimistic.
He's a great bloke and I really hope he can get some fitness back this pre season and have a good crack in 2015.

Very easy to read too much into some things. Trenners is featuring of late on the MFC site. Inclined to think hes a keeper. Another Sth Aussie...isnt though :unsure:

Really? What makes you think that? That fact he has a broken lisenfranc or navicular or whatever or did you deduce it all by yourself??? Just kidding :)

Toump did do the Robbo segment.

But I don't think anyone would be too shocked to see him offered as part of a trade deal. Could go either way.

    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.
