Jack Trengove

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

Could be our Robbie Gray.

[Deecisive 1,669]

how is his size going, has he bulked up while recovering from his foot injury?

[demoniac 1,246]

I think Trengove needs to mould into a different type of player to make a significant comeback and become an important player for us. With the foot injury he has sustained and the significant pace he has lost and will continue to lose, I think his biggest asset being his marking and ability to spread will be forever hindered by his unfortunate injury. For me, I think Trengove can still make it as a smart inside contestant ball winner/extractor. Hopefully he has done everything right to hit the gym and get his upper body in the best shape it can be and focus on trying to play this brand of footy in which I think he has the capability in doing so.

If his foot is right can't see why he won't get back to his pre injury speed?

If he gets his foot right there is no reason why he won't fulfill his potental.Good footy smarts, strong overhead, nice kick, coachable and determined.

Everything is crossed here.

[Cheap Seats 3,308]

I really hope the kid catches a break and is able to get his body right

Although he never dominated he was generally a solid player in pretty poor MFC sides. Would be a great addition to the middle or wing/halfback.

Really hope all goes well for Jack

[monoccular 16,595]

Imagine the reception he will get if he comes back and plays next season!

What a moment it would be when he runs out in The Red and Blue again.

Sends chills down my spinee just thinking about it. Please universe, let Trenners get back to playing footy!

If this does happen, and I am sure all (bar one or two) dearly hope he does make a successful comeback, I wonder if that king of the negatives, pickett fence, will come out publicly and eat his humble pie. Somehow I doubt it.

how is his size going, has he bulked up while recovering from his foot injury?

Photo from Alice Springs - Looks pretty big up top - don't forget who he is standing next to.

Legs don't look overly small.

No doubt they pay close attention to his size and weight - I imagine they don't want to be putting any unnecessary weight on his feet (also don't want him to turn into a tapscott)

My understanding is that the club has given Jack till the end of next year to get his body right. If not he will be delisted.

[Jaded No More 59,790]

Up there with Jones, Garland and Grimes as players who really deserve some luck and success.

Here's hoping!

My understanding is that the club has given Jack till the end of next year to get his body right. If not he will be delisted.

Which is why they signed him on?

If that was true why not wait until the end of the year? It's not like clubs are rushing to get him

^{Would love to see jack get back his best or do better, hopefully the problems he has been having for the last couple of years are the captaincy and injuries. With both behind him next year he can settle down and enjoy his footy.}

That's right....When they signed him they said....You got till the end of next year...Trust me

Trengove was the most impressive junior we have on our list, he was an absolute stand out, had all the qualities you look for in an elite AFL player.

He was strong, explosive, classy, clean, well balanced, great decision maker, good leader. I've never really understood how he lost his pace. As a junior he had Chris Judd explosiveness, yet as a MFC AFL listed player, after a few years in the system - he was no quicker than Brock McLean.

[DSP 1,488]

Would love nothing more than to see Jack come out all guns blazing.

But I just cant see it happening, not for a while at the very least. He has missed a hell of a lot of footy and some serious mileage in his body.

He will be coming from a long, long way back.

No he didn't. That is completely untrue.

He was a good all around player, but the one knock on him was that he lacked a bit of toe.

Hilarious!

Yep, that's it.

They signed him up, and straight before said "Now listen here! You better get that damn body of yours right, because otherwise you won't get another contract after this!"

FFS some people dribble some absolute shite.

Surely it goes without saying anyway, but to suggest it was explicitly put forward to Trengove that if he doesn't get back on the field, he won't be gifted more years... It's beyond laughable.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

with the plethora of positive effects that come out of a win like Sunday's, another is that you have to feel like Trengove (and Petracca) just get that extra bit of incentive, motivation and excitement to slog through all the hard years fixing themselves and not getting to play. Knowing that we are building something and they will have the opportunity in future to be part of wins like that must do wonders for them emotionally. Stick at boys.

[KingDingAling 3,683]

No he didn't. That is completely untrue.

Yeah I didn't think so.. I thought he was explosive, power through the hips, well balanced.

Not dissimilar to Chris Judd. Probably not he top end speed of Judd, but certainly the same power through the hips.

[Moneider96 1,045]

Could be our Robbie Gray.

I like this comparison. Hope it comes true!

If foot was sore pushing off would be more difficult. Hard to run fast with a sore foot.

2 - MELBOURNE - Jack Trengove

DOB: 02/09/91, Height: 185cm, Weight: 82kg

Recruited from: Kybybolite/Sturt (SA)

Draft range: 1-2

Meet Jack Trengove

Although he will be taken at two, Trengove's exceptional performances in the SANFL senior finals showed he is equally deserving of the No.1 tag. In the preliminary final against Glenelg, he was best on ground with 29 disposals. Finals prevented Trengove from attending the NAB AFL Draft Camp, but he followed up at the South Australian state screening with an outstanding beep test: level 15.3. Likened to Collingwood great Nathan Buckley, Trengove has excellent speed, endurance and leadership. He can also play midfield, forward or back. He is no relation to Port Adelaide's Jackson Trengove.

He tested 2.94 over 20 metres in pre-screening. While his speed is exaggerated in this bio it wasn't a "knock" on him at junior level.

yep, that what I think as well. I don't think he is limited to the mids. I think he can play small back, back flank, wing, forward flank defenssive small forward, you name it other than playing 6' 6" and above.

he has all my support & always has had, since watching him in U-18's.

[dee-luded 2,958]

He's just not an aaron davey.

Not dissimilar to Chris Judd. Probably not he top end speed of Judd, but certainly the same power through the hips.

No Judd was a burst player who could explode away, whereas JT was strong and usually got his kick away. Judd would leave him for dead in acceleration. JT is a better mark than Judd though and that gives him another string to his bow.

[CityDee 738]

Im not sure on that surely the longer we hold him back and allow healing the more chance we have of a career ahead.

[Redleg 38,437]

Personally I would be thrilled for Jack if he could come back better than ever to have a good career with us.

After the events of last summer I would love to see Jack BOG, the next 3 times we play the Tigers, after he has recovered from his injury.

I believe, from memory, that he tested at 2.97s in the SA state screening. I also think Brock McLean tested 3.01s, so I'm not sure that he could be said as having "Chris Judd like explosiveness".

As a junior, Trengove was a good all around player. But he was no line breaker, which did concern a few at the time. To say he had "excellent speed" is just an error on the Phantom Drafter's behalf.
