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? :ph34r:

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
