Is it just me or does anyone think that in 10 months time, Trengove either retires or requests a trade? The poor bugger needs a change of scenary I reckon.

Its just you.

    We are not in agreement on this one jnr BBP is IMO close to the money.

    Do you think it's possible that an interrupted/completely absent pre-season may actually hamper performance during the season? Could that be way the excuse is always whipped out - because it may actually be true?

    Yeah, Dom Tyson had a shocking season in 2014....

    We'll know soon enough I guess. I hope he stays and I hope he can get back on to the park. I like Jack - I think he's a smart footballer that unfortunately is perhaps guilty of trying to too hard. Perhaps he pushed to far when he was Captain because of the 'burden' instead of resting. perhaps he was mis-diagnosed. Who knows?

    I do think he is mentallly tough though and if his body can get right his mind won't let him down (unlike another famous recruit...)

    I don't disagree with any of that j.

    I serious doubts that his foot will be good enough to withstand the rigours of AFL football.

    I have him in the "Doubtful starters for 2016 group"

    I think the potential trade to Richmond was the last straw for Trengove.

    If he can get over his injury, I feel he needs a change of scenary, a fresh start to realise his talents and use his strong character to advantage.

    I can forsee a good will trade happening next year much like the Garlett trade where we exchanged picks with Carlton in the 50's and 60's.

    I personally hope he stays if his injury comes good.

    Imagine what it could have been with a full pre-season.

    (The only way to use Tyson or any player as evidence in this, would be to compare performance with and without a pre-season. In Tyson's case, we don't have the former.)

    there might be a grain of truth to it.. but not if you are talking about a bloke missing a few weeks in December FFS

    the ever-increasing focus on sports science annoys the S out of me. If you are declared fit and selected in the side there should be no excuses, certainly not missing a few training sessions 6 months earlier

    "Could be true" isn't the same as "always true".

    and you could always argue that Tyson would have been even better with a proper preseason.. nobody can be definitive either way

    No it wasn't, it was the player given the opportunity to explore his options, like Howie and GWS, Howie has certainly moved on from that

    It had nothing to do with 'giving him an opportunity' it was about netting us a marquee player and realising you need to give up something of value to make that happen. Whether JT understands that's it's just business or he he feels betrayed remains to be seen. He probably does (and should) feel that he owes us something regardless

    Idle speculation by an idle mind...

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
