    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

The Jack Trengove is BACK Thread


McQueen

Recommended Posts

We have had many selections this year of players with modest / brief form for Casey - JKH, Wagner, T Smith, White, Kent, Stretch, J Smith

We got beaten in the clearances on the weekend and need some more midfield grunt even if Tyson returns

There is a 25 year old midfielder who is in the best at Casey every week and racked up 30+ possessions again on the weekend.  

He also happens to be an exemplar of a resilient culture which appears to be a priority at the moment.

Let's find out once and for all if he can contribute at AFL level.  It's time.

Let's find out.

Give Trengove a go.

Goodwin would recall Blight coming into Adelaide and moving on jarman, mcguiness, mcdermott, and anderson while they still had some life in them and backing in the new crop of young blokes with success. Grimes and Trengrove might be part of the same thinking. Gee we treat our captains poorly in recent times.

Plapp always says of Jack in his summaries, he's playing very good VFL football, this says everything to me. 

I'd love to see him get another game but we need to win games to get a shot at finals and if the club haven't seen him as an option so far this year, there must be a reason.

Is it remotely possible that because trenners has missed so much football that they are just playing him in the twos to get some continuity and consistency into his game. Then delist him and re-draft him as a rookie and have the mindset that his is now a mature age recruit of known quanitity and quality with little to no expectation on him? I know this sounds like fairytale stuff but we know that he was a very good talent. Surely he'll take his opportunity when it comes if it does.

Hopefully there is some plan like this.  He is perceived on demonland as old, yet is younger than Melksham, who seems to be backed in for selection.  If they are being patient he still has plenty of time, and plenty of upside.

An important step into the bargaining phase. There are many who are only just now progressing from denial to anger.

I watched Casey last weekend, and Trenners was clearly a class above the rest. So clean in his movement, a great kick and mark, and hard at the ball. He is no Jaden Hunt, but neither are Jones, Petracca, Tyson and even Viney. I think he still has huge potential. I would love to see him back.

I hope Trengove never plays again.

i wanted him back last weak in the absence of Viney, Jones and Tyson. For his leadership, tough body and footy brain.

Unfortunately, he wasn't picked. That says to me he will only ever be picked again if we are further depleted by injuries.

I loved you Trengove and you were part of the group that courted Roos.

Best of luck going forward, hope you can go back to the SANFL and play some good footy.

I listened to the Goodwin press conference and his statement about Trengove makes me really annoyed

"Jack is getting close and just needs to keep doing what he's doing in the VFL"

This doesn't make sense

i) Casey have a bye this weekend 

ii) in a couple of weeks Tyson, Viney and Jones will be back.

Clearly the time to test him out at AFL level is now - when there are spots available and the team needs an experienced midfielder.

Finally you have to ask why does Trengove have to keep performing well over repeated weeks at VFL level to be considered - when this didn't apply to Mitch White, Joel Smith and others?

It tells me that Trengove would not be able to run out a full game at the top level. 

4-5 years ago we would have played him under these conditions, but today the stakes are to high as a CLUB

We are in the mix for September now, not high draft picks.

Clearly Goodwin doesn't have him close to the best 22, so he's not going to play him for the sake of it.  So what else do you expect him to publicly say ?

You don't have to like it, but I suggest you deal with it.

Spot on.  I'm surprised people are still surprised he isn't getting a game.  He's too slow and whilst he has other great attributes his lack of speed is a deal breaker.

I'm starting 2 get annoyed with Goodwin he plays NQRs like JKH, Bugg etc.. but doesn't want 2 give Trenners a go.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
