Its not just the lack of speed, but he also needs to find more aggression. Hopefully his lack of speed can be put down to his injury. Also, I think motivational factors (proving doubters wrong) can translate into a more aggression - I know that has worked for Cotchin (Trengove is a similar guy).

Endurance will just as important as pace with the new restrictions on interchanging next year.

That's an excellent point as endurance is certainly one of his strengths.

Really? Trengove does NOT lack aggression. It's competitive and therefore appropriate, just the kind you want and he has in spades.

Kicking penetration as well.

Yep, good point. His kicking penetration dramatically dropped off didn't it. I had forgotten that. If he doesn't have a long leg (in god awful commentator speak) it will really impact on his effectiveness.

Close to my favourite player - think he is a gun. A number of peope have already posted that he is a natural footballer and that is his real strength. Bartel and Mitchell, Hazelby, Cross - all of them are slowish and most slower than Trenners. Speed is a great attribute but not an essential one.

He can mark and kick so well he belongs as a defensive forward. Yes, he totally lost kicking penetration on the run but his set shots were usually fine (with a few standout horrible exceptions).

But someone who can read the play, mark well, offer leadership, and tackle like a beast - a few more of his type would be fine.

It's a fine line between constructive discussion about a player's weaknesses, and blatantly making stuff.

In the same way that the Grand Canyon is a fine line.

Have you forgotten the glorious tackle on Dangerfield. There was a little bit of aggression in that! Watch the second tackle as well.

It would be one hell of a comeback if he could get back on the park and reach his initial form.

He is coming from a long way back. 2 years is a hell of a lot of mileage to miss.

I dont think he will be able to, but am more than happy to be wrong.

I reckon he will. Trenners is something special.

He's more of a natural athlete than most of the blokes on our list.

Apart from his bloody foot I reckon he'll re-adapt to the training loads and his body will stand up to them.

I think we'll all be cheering our lungs out if he gets back onto the MGC in a red and blue jumper.

Keep pushing hard Trenners, would love to see you busting your tail from the midfield into the fwd line taking a mark and slotting one from the pocket.

Hope his return match isn't an away game then! OMG I hate those white monstrosities.

But, jokes aside, he is one hell of a determined guy and he deserves (an often overused expression) some joy and success.

Would this still get 3 weeks today?

There is a definite second movement but Dangerfield kicking the ball is what caused the twisting.

Head injury 2 weeks + franchise player injured 1 week = 3 weeks. If not more now.

Depends on where the mrp's wheel of misfortune lands

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
