Trengove will never play again imo

Well you may know more than him.

I spoke to him recently and he is very confident of resuming his career next year.

Sound footing from the 'source' perspective.

Back the FD on this one.

Though it would be exciting to see Bennell as part of our new look midfield: Jones, Vince, Tyson, Viney, Trengove, Vandenberg, Brayshaw, Petracca and Dangerfield.

When someone says imo it means in my opinion as in speculation. I do not claim that i have any inside info on Trenners but id be genuinely surprised if he plays again.

Considering many of us have spent a summer or two scrolling for your Melbourne Bitter for updates on rumours you have started - forgive us for pushing for clarification on whether it was or wasn't your opinion.

It's called drug abuse. Use of illegal drugs is not OK under any circumstances.

Holy [censored], give it a rest mate. Drugs arent good or evil, they can be abused and they can be great - just like most things in life.

Laughable to pass on a player of this calibre because of a few off field activities that every second AFL player dabbles in.

Worked out well for Hawthorn and Dayle Garlett.

With Bennell, from everything that's been said, including from sympathetic scribes like Emma Quayle, the issues (problems) go a bit deeper than "a few off-field activities".

As others have posted, happy to trust the club on this. But once again, for all his football prowess, the Suns have decided they'd be better off without him. That's a big call.

Bennell's played 81 games and had 5 years in the system.

Garlett is a silly analogy.

Actually i just remembered the rumour we had a crack at Toby Greene last year tweeted by someone or other - clearly the no dh policy doesnt apply when you are desperate

Jack will play again, now whether he plays well enough to get back into the side is another matter. As for Bennell it will all come down to his attitude and his ability to persuade roos and co that he can turn him self around and commit to the club., if he can do than then I would certainly take him if we can. Sometimes players need a rude awakening getting the boot from the suns may do him a world of good.

I'd take a bunch of DH over the blokes we drafted before Viney and Taylor came along....

Come on mate

It's clearly Trengove's wish to get back to playing footy, the least you can do is support him

By reading the last few pages of this thread anyone would be forgiven for thinking it's a done deal and only the formalities remain.

I love how us supporters set ourselves up for disappointment during trade periods.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. 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

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
