 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!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
