2015 Player Review - # 9 Jack Trengove

[daisycutter 29,616]

Didn't James Hird have a similar injury?

He seemed to play some terrific footy when he recovered.

I know he is not liked on here but gee he was a great footballer.

where on earth did you get that idea, bd?

[deanox 9,915]

You forgot " if his foot had passed the medical he would be at Richmond right now" and we would have Dangerfield

Fixed your quote for you.

[AzzKikA 2,371]

Not sure if posted somewhere else. But good to see his legs are building up:

Thats great to see, and the other pic of Chip in his hawks jumper is a pissa!

I didn't forget it, old dee, it just had nothing whatsoever to do with my point, so I didn't say it.

My point Nasher was this time last year the majority of our FD thought he had little to offer us

Or they thought he offered more as part of a trade. That doesn't mean they thought he had little to offer us.

Depends on your view I guess.

[deanox 9,915]

Depends on your view I guess.

Given his trade was mooted as part of a larger trade that would have netted us Dangerfield I would hardly think they thought he was worth nothing. Pick 12 is better than a packet of twisties.

All fingers tightly crossed, firstly for Trenners the bloke, and second for Trenners the player!! At his pre-injury best, he was a very good footballer!

[G-max 154]

Zero expectations for him but really hoping he can get healthy.

2013 - Two wins, Mark Neeld, Terlich 3rd in the B&F, M. Jones 4th. Also, still on the list were Jordie McKenzie, David Rodan, Sam Blease, James Strauss, Josh Tynan, Daniel Nicholson, Tom Gillies, James Sellar, Michael Evans, Dom Barry, Luke Tapscott, Troy Davis, Rory Taggert, Rohan Bail. And Dean Terlich and Matt Jones.

Trenners will come back in to a very different team.

Given both Jack and Angus Brayshaw were both drafted as mids, were similar draft picks, are a similar height and both have shown leadership potential at a young age, I figured it may be interesting see how their first years compared

Jack - 2010

Games 18

Disposals 343, Ave 19 - 9 kicks, 10 handballs

Marks 63

Tackles 75

Clearances 44

Goals 8, Assists 3

Angus - 2015

Games 21

Disposals 267, Ave 13 - 8 kicks, 5 handballs

Marks 54

Tackles 99

Clearances 37

Goals 5, Assist 17

Given we rightly laud Brayshaw as a future 200 game player and hopefully one of those to help lead us out of mediocrity, it is good to remember just how good Trengove was.

It is bizarre to think that if Angus were to follow the same career path as Jack he would be captain of the club in about 18 months time.

My point Nasher was this time last year the majority of our FD thought he had little to offer us

I think it was more about the fact there was pick 12 on offer and there is and always will be significant risks with Trenners from here on out, I don't think there is too much doubt what he is capable of if it's all smooth sailing from here on out, but it's probably fairly unlikely.

I think if you add your ideas to OD's then you're about there (imho )

Whatever value Jack actually has/had was trumped by the value of pick 12 and what that might have delivered.

Trade dissolves and Jacks back to being a decent player,in the repair shop, with a '?' Over him.

[Tyson4Brownlow 154]

At this stage, anything he can provide to our team is a bonus. The expectations are now so low.

On talent alone, he is a potential B+ midfielder. On character, deserves a successful comeback more than any player I remember

[Sir Why You Little 37,036]

I don't factor Jack into any future plans at the MFC. If anything changes that, great.

If he hadn't failed the medical last year he was a Richmond Player who would have broken down over summer.

People keep talking of Trengove coming back next year "Good as Gold"

I just can't see him playing the modern game of Gut Running & Spread for 100 minutes....

On talent alone he is a potential A grader. Can accumulate, strong over head, kicks goals, good disposal.

Do I expect him to all be able to be an A grade? Probably not.
