Maybe but there are two things you should not forget.

Trengove has been injured for three years.

And Grimes does not have the delivery skills required to be a top player at AFL level.

Don't just blame everything on the silly captaincy issue.

Captaincy or not. Players still have to perform at a certain level.

The 2 above mentioned haven't for a long time.

I understand where you are coming from Sir Paul but I would very much like both of them to join Jones, Dunn and Watts in that small group of players that emerges out of this Clubs darkest hour to enjoy success.

If anyone deserves some fun times Jack and Jack do

A fit Trengove with his speed back replaces either Cross, Brayshaw, Kent, vanders, possibly Howe and H goes back, trenners was a bloody good footballer on the rise pre foot injury.

Who would everyone drop for Trenners at this point? It was hard enough fitting Vince in.

He's a good replacement for Cross when the end comes...

I won't write Trenners off just yet.

edit; write for right...lol

TRADE definitely What more reward is necessary?he is being paid his contract rate and He is recovering. The club will have to make an unemotional decision based on what is best for the club.

Nope. This is one player we owe. If he can't get back on the park we owe him a career, whether it's in the club or out of it. I would be ashamed of my club if we discard him with ought helping him out.

The captaincy didn't help either player, but where it really hurt Trengove was the expectation it put on him to be on the field. Long story short he is physically broken because of that decision, and we owe him a decent shot at a career when his foot is right.

Trengrove officially rules himself out of 2015. Link below:

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-04-09/trengove-looks-to-2016

As much as I like to think Melbourne has stopped making stupid trade decisions, I have a horrible feeling that we will move him on for a packet of chips at the end of the season, for him to then be revitalised and return in great form for another team.

I hope like hell we sign him on for another year to give him a chance to play AFL standard footy again, even if it is on the rookie list. Unfortunately, I see Mitch Clark 2.0.

So your rating the Mitch Clark comeback a success after his one game ?

Now I know Roosy is a PR master. But he described Trenners as having the best preseason of the group. That's a huge pump up. I didn't think Clark would play again, now I think he'll kick 40 goals this year.

Get some speed across the ground and he's good to go.

To me this is the key. If the foot holds up and he gets his speed back he should end up fulfilling his early promise and our depth gets a massive injection. If the foot injury means his speed is gone permanently then unfortunately he isn't likely to play again. Other people with this injury have fully recovered, some haven't. If there wasn't a chance of a full recovery you would assume we would have heard about it by now.

He was out training at Goschs on Thursday, assured me everything was on track, last scan was really promising, he has a really solid upper body now, they have obviously been working on it

fixing the navicular is blood supply/oxygen & nutrients to its cells

maintaining the injury from recurring is maybe bigger?

What exactly do we owe him/

Keep a good fit young player off the list

As i said its up to Trengove he has to impress the club that he is fully recovered and able to hold his spot. Going to be difficult if his contract ends before he is fit. Remember he really wont have played fully fit for 3 years

If trenners come back near his best and petracca also returns in good nick that's two pretty handy recruits to to go with the 18th pick in the next draft

I'd be more than happy with the 11th pick.

Yes he was an A grader, much more so than his "mate" Scully. He is also a leader and a top bloke , and we don't have a surplus of leaders at the club

Maybe 6 six goals in a NAB challenge game doesn't indicate he is back to you, it does for me.

Maybe kicking 3 goals out of your teams 8 total for a game against one of the best defences in the competition doesn't indicate he is back to you, it does for me.

Geelong would consider his comeback a success. No doubt about it. In saying that I'm glad we got HL, but would rather it not have been at the expense of Clarke.

Clark will kick more than that

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
