 In front of Who??

Presumably old chap you mean "in front of whom"?

Answer : in front of whomever his form warrants.

Absolutely nobody knows what his form will be in the pressure of an AFL / VFL match, but I am getting sick and tired of people saying that he has no hope at all.

Surely he deserves to be shown respect for his hard work and efforts, and bast wishes, not the incessant negativity by some on this forum.

4 Jack Trengove was all but signed sealed and delivered to Punt Rd! Just think about that for a minute!! ,,,,,, a MFC Capt who wanted to go to the Tiges!!!!

 

Are you sure that was his choice, or something he was prepared to do reluctantly?

I don't know what happened behind the scenes, but if the club offered him up and preferred not to give him a contract, then he may have agreed to go because of limited options.

We may have decided that we could get Laverde with 12 or some other player and that it was better, than keeping a seriously injured player.

Until we know the facts surrounding the mooted deal, it is all speculation and we shouldn't be suggesting that he was walking out on us.

Im a big fan of Trengove and once he puts a solid block of training and game time in I'm sure he'll prove a lot of people wrong.

The guy has to much pride and professionalism to not succeed.

As a modern footballer you have to be versatile and I think he will play in a range of positions HB, on ball, HF

The shroud of negativity is finally lifting from our beloved football club I think Trenners embodies that.

Finally I see some great depth in our midfield and club and to have Jack & Trac waiting in the wings is damn exciting

I'm sure it was said by him it WASN'T his choice at all. I believe he said something along the lines of he loves the club but he won't block the trade.

Ha, we are getting short of whipping boys I guess. At least Godders et al are behind us if we are worried about JT being a list hog.

 

Go Dees

this suggests the criticism wasn't justified. over the last 2 seasons...  of certain players not performing & still in the side.

Its not as if the player not chasing or contesting,  only had one leg or something.  or was heartless?

 

But its great that  'those'  players are now seeming to put in.

Interesting speculation of the interpretation, 

"I don't know what happened behind the scenes, but if the club offered him up and preferred not to give him a contract, then he may have agreed to go because of limited options."  Line!

Given we are a much better outfit now are not those options even more limited?

I was mainly concerned that JT shouldn't be labelled as WANTING to leave, but rather he may have been given limited options, in that he may not have been offered a contract.

As I said, I didn't know the full story. However, your post suggested he as a former MFC Captain, wanted to walk out on us. My limited info suggests that was not the case.

Even if we have a better outfit now, he is still on the list and therefore has a chance to again make the team. He could not have done that with us, if we were forcing him out.

That was what I got out of your post as well Pickett Fence, that were suggesting he was wanting out of the club when in fact it was the opposite. 

You are probably correct in that his position has been usurped since his injury and he will face a tough battle to get into the 22. This is a good thing as it means we have progressed as a club. Not great for Jack but I can guarantee you he will give it his best crack at it and may actually surprise us.

Well on so many levels I'll buy in,

1 Dont patronise me with your  last Btw, "I don't expect any of this information to resonate with you, as I'm aware of how you roll.  I've done it more for others who may be interested" and if its not patronising then belittle at your cost!

2 You pull out James Hird as contrast and hnmm well I realy really hate to say it given his current History , but guess what? James Hird was Twice if not Three times the footballer that Trengove was!

3 If you are going to role model after injury pick someone like "Ultra White Knight" Jonathan Brown! NOW HERE IS A PLAYER WHO HAS COME BACK FROM LIFE THREATENING INJURIES!

4 Jack Trengove was all but signed sealed and delivered to Punt Rd! Just think about that for a minute!! ,,,,,, a MFC Capt who wanted to go to the Tiges!!!!

5 Loyalty is a transient and two way thing!

6 And just to set the record straight I deal in reality!!  It would be a great thing for the MFC if IF Jack Trngove gets back on the park!

My issue is and always will be a) can he? and b) will he be able to give the selectors reason to pick him??

I wait with bated Breath!!??

Mate, you have no idea what you're talking about... MFC were the ones who threw that trade out there because they desperately wanted Jake Lever, knew they'd have to give up something significant to get a pick like that. i don't think it's fair to say Jack wasn't/ isn't loyal and this isn't a reflection of a good leader.

multiple "great"  captains have considered moves to other clubs.

So back to Trenners, I hope you Melbourne based folk are going to get out to his VFL practice game against Box Hill on April 2nd.

Anyone know where it'll be played? I couldn't find it.

It's actually very disappointing to see that this thread has turned into another $hitfight and pi$$ing contest from some regular offenders -_-

I am sitting here patiently, like many on here, just waiting for the day that Jack gets back to doing what he loves most.... Playing Football!

I will no longer be reading this thread as it has turned into another boring battle of bone heads...

I have just wasted several minutes of my life*, minutes that I will never recover, in the now obviously naïve belief that, given the thread title, I would find some up to date news about Jack's progress towards, hopefully, playing again for MFC.

Of course I should have known better.

It is time for the moderators to get a large red Texta and delete those thoroughly boring personal feuds  

*and a few more composing this rant.

I'll try to get down there for a look, I'll be stoked to see him out there.

And here we have the injury list from the AFL official site.  Something that we're all aware of, but is beautiful to actually see for the first time in two years... No Jack Trengove.

Go Trenners!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
