Jack Trengove re-injures his navicular (2014) - trade deal off

Very conflicted like many on here. Just a terrific young bloke with a decent head on his shoulders and has faced up to everything manfully.

Did you read the rest of the post or are you going to blame the red wine for your lack of brain matter again?

Only just started on the red at that time. Read the post but still won't be crying when he leaves.

I'm sorry, but I really don't get all the hand wringing over this.

If we need to keep a player who has been loyal to us but 5 years into his career couldn't get a game in a team that finished 15th we've got massive cultural issues. Leadership and culture need to come from the coaches and CEO given the age profile of our list, and one of the ways you instill values in young people with short careers is to remind them that performance is crucial. If you play well it creates a winning culture.

I reckon Jack Trengrove is a ripping bloke, but it's not going to stop me from wanting a better club to support and the development of a new, optimistic winning culture at my footy club.

Yes, and remember Richmond came to us. Our club has to improve so unpopular decisions have to be made

Sorry if anyone has posted this before...

if any deal is to be done with trengove - what is the cut off date - is it tomorrow the 13th?

Trading up until 2pm Thursday. Although since there are ulterior motives involved you would think that deal would go through in the next 24-48 hours

What if Lever becomes a star of the game?

What will you say then.

History will judge this trade if it eventuates, we won't know the sum of it and all we will be doing is what we are doing in this thread - baring our neurosis concerning an aspect of the game we get all too often wrong.

The problem is we don't know Lever will be there at that pick so I wouldn't think it the reason for the trade.

With GWS making big plays for players is it possible we are trying to maneuver for a Sheil or Greene?

I don't buy in to rumours but the one in this thread I actually tend to believe.

Greene or Sheil would be an upgrade on Trenners (as much as I like Jack both those 2 have more upside)

Beams has continually stated he wants to be traded so he can live near his dad in Qld

If we sign him up to what will be a huge long term contract, we will have to worry about him asking for a trade to Brisbane at the end of every season

I want stability at the MFC not highly paid players who are a flight risk each trade period, like Beams would be

Hope we steer well clear

Don't get sucked in by the media or spin from Collingwood.

Unless of course you know him personally and aren't basing your opinion on what you've heard in the media..

I'm unaware of where he has continually stated he wants to go to Qld, can you please supply his quotes.

I'd take Adelaide pick 10 in exchange for Trengove because it will effectively become pick 9 with Collingwood taking Moore

So there would be a really good chance to get the tall they want at pick 9, such as Lever or any other talls that typically slip down the order a bit.

On further thought, take a quality tall a pick 2 or 3 and then grab another midfielder at 9

Also, there is another tall that the Dees might be keen on at pick 9 other than Lever but I'm reluctant to say.

Too many "what if's" about this trade. Stuff Pick 12. On medical advice & if Trengove is on track to do a full pre season we should keep him. Up until he got that dodgy suspension for that sling tackle he was playing some great football. Injury free he would be a real big bonus for us next season.

But JT has said he would prefer to stay in Melbourne, despite his family living in Adelaide.

If it played out something like this, I'd have no complaints at all:

- Trengove and 23 for 12 and 30-odd from Tiges.

- 3 and 12 + steak knives (Blease etc) for Beams and Lumumba

- Clark to Geelong for their second rounder + Taylor Hunt

- Frost in the PSD

- Use pick two on Brayshaw.

Granted, none of that will likely happen, but it's a reasonable hypothetical.

In total, it would be:

Out: Clark, Frawley, Trenners, Pick 23, Pick 12, pick 69 or whatever it was for Garlett, and Pick 3

In: Brayshaw (p2), Beams, Lamumba, Garlett, Frost, Hunt and Richmond + Geelong's second rounders.

Would take that in a heartbeat

2 Scenarios to play out here.

1. We don't trade Jack, and draft Brayshaw and Petracca at 2,3.

2. We do trade Trengrove, to Adelaide, bundled with pick 2 and 23 for danger. Then get we beams in with pick 3 and Watts.

I trust Roos and co, but if it eventuates that we replace three best 22 players (two of which are in our top 10) with three speculative 18 year olds, I would understand the potential backlash.

Especially after Roos has emphasised the need for experienced, skilled midfielders. I am nearly positive that we have something up our sleeve, but it will be quite a let-down if nothing comes of it.

Petracca/Brayshaw/McCartin could all become stars in their own right, but we really do need some instant impact.

Geez theres a lot of people about to have a cardiac arrest here, bloody settle down!

Just because we failed at the draft in the past doesn't mean we will now!! BP has gone, a whole new admin & coaching dept. Also a new recruiter.

Its now a great to look at top end talent from the draft & back ourselves in with all these new fresh people. We need more talented kids, we haven't got much.

As for Trengove, I'd get the best in a trade for him in a heartbeat, as I would Watts. Both mentally scarred & the club needs to move on from this era of weakness in the mind. Its not entirely their fault, but we will get better quicker if we don't have relapses.

I am absolutely certain that I haven't got the slightest idea what is going on.

The only thing I know for certain is that I will vomit watching Trenners high fiving Dustin Martin.

We have to separate the idea of what we hope jack could become to what he's actually delivering.

This is it. And it has applied to a lot of players for a long time. The attitude has to be broken.

Luckily it's not up to the supporters, else we'd be hoarding all our spuds in the hope that they'll be good one day.

Trying to separate the fact we didn't get to see him play a season under Roos is what I'm finding difficult.

Those that are all too ready to write him off as underperforming need to remember he didn't even have an opportunity last season due to injury.

We know he can play the game and is only 23 years old. What's to say that he won't overcome his foot related injuries and become a great player after a couple of consistent years?

Roos must seriously believe he's limited or the roles within the team structure are well covered without the need for Trenners.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
