In all seriousness; those that say very, why?

He'll only be a cog in a machine and far from being a primary mover. His position will be playable by any number of substitutes. Hes not unique, hes not A grade...so how is he "crucial". Handy maybe ...hardly indispensable.

Anymore top 5 draft picks you wanna bag?

You are a bad supporter.

Very much the forgotten man but I think he may be a revelation this year. He's a quality individual and if his body gives him a chance he will be valuable in the midfield.

Aww diddums

Funny how ppl choise when or whether this top picking applies.

Its said once in the club you are JUST a player.

Thats ALL they are...workers ...to do a job. Top5 pi k one is irrelevant. Its about playing to ability.

That said. The OP asks how crucial is he. By any OBJECTIVE measure he isnt.

Will the team fall apart? Will it be incapable of winning ?

Ppl need to step back and get real and stop acting like its their best mate etc.

Its juvenile.

I like Trengove, when fit and playing well.

If he isnt hes replaced. Its not that [censored] hard really.

Again...hes not crucial.Few are

How important ? Hardly at all

Now , think first. Anything he can add , if back to his best , is a little bit of icing , but if I read the gist to mean is it imprtant in the sense of would we/ can we without him, then of course we can so he's hardly a pillar of our progress

Quite frankly ive already written him off.

Therefore anything is a bonus.

Trenners isnt crucial to our forward progress.

Hate to say it - but I have to agree.

I have a great deal of respect for the guy - but I don't really expect him to be much more than a depth player going forward. It's not just that he's slow - but that he has no acceleration and no "stop and turn" tricks to compensate.

If I'm wrong then he'll be a terrific bonus

Before anybody gets overcome with angriness.

Paul Roos was given the coaching job.

His modus operandi is to trade and be prepared to try and trade UP.

With Trengove on their list (and his infamous sling tackle) maybe the Tigers might advance further than the first round of the Finals in 2015?

That's why we got him in to make the tuff decisions to fix this club.

If it was Goodwin doing it we would be asking for his head.

A bit touchy are we Bubby? Awwww diddums!

The Club has answered nothing, Richmond have asked the question and we have allowed Trenners the choice. Should pay more attention diddums.

Sounds like the annual Colin Sylvia oracle issued about this time of year.

Yep Qwerty "He will be a gun that boy Just needs a full pre season "

MFC must make a lot of hard decisions this year and next to remake the list and give the club a future

JT JW JG are just the beginning I am so glad Frawley has gone Spoke to a rabid Hawks supporter over the weekend They really believe he is a gun hahahahaha Pick 3 for that lunkhead is the bargain of the year. The hawks hopefully will be completely shocked at his poor decision making and slow brain.

Well he is stuffed now as his foots buggered again. Just read on the MFC web page

1. His foot hurt, but we thought that was normal after not running???

2. Do we need new doctors, physios, a new foot surgeon or just some better luck for once?

Posted

Just heard talk on SEN that he has hurt his foot again whilst doing a fitness test for Richmond.

So Richmond don't want him now, we don't want him, but he is still a demon and once again injured.

Don't know how to feel about this situation.

Richmond's insurance can give us pick 12 to cover it

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
