This is from the same poster who has also said:

- Goodwin will be head coach in 2016

- Dylan Shiel will be at Hawthorn in 2016

 

 

Can't remember specifics, but I'm sure partyboy has runs on the board.

I assume he has some good mail, but it is hit & miss. Don't dismiss it out of hand.

Nice of Jordie to put it to the top of the goal square with a rain-maker from 35 metres out.

He was playing on one foot when he last played... 

 

Why the negativity? 

 

Imagine if he came back and played as well as he did in his first season. 

 

The reports I have heard are that he looks to be running at a similar pace.

I'm entitled to be cautious, just as you are entitled to only see the positives.

Like I said, i hope he plays, and plays well. Maybe I'm just a little more realistic than some.

The speed isn't a huge issue because of Trengoves Aerobic ability, he is perfectly suited to the intererchange cap

It will be if it hasn't improved dramatically from his pre break speed.

 

Agree with the aerobic ability. I think it will be an enormous advantage with the interchange cap. Has improved scullys worth as a player already, and we all know Trenners is a much better "footballer" than scully.

I don't think so, it's definitely better than it was, he looks far more free in his running and he's picked up some speed but he's still not super quick, but he will just get to so many contests which is what we need him to do, be that hard running mid, like a Daniel Cross or Joey Montagna

My suggestion is to do what I do - I read the more bizarre posts to my lovely lady who knows nothing about football - she loves now Demonland. She  thinks Demonland is like your crazy old uncle - farts at the dinner table, fly always undone and refers to anyone not born in this country as #$#%$$ or $$##%$$^ or worse still @!#@@#$%. ( when I say i read her the more bizarre posts - that is about 1 in every 3).

"Nutbean" actually sounds like a crazy old uncle - couldn't agree more with your sentiments!

I thought it was a perfectly weighted pass straight into the hands of Trengove who was positioning himself at the top of the goal square.

The biggest issue was not his speed as such it was the lack of power he had in the contest. He had no leverage off his foot and his contested work suffered.

If you watch a player like Dom Tyson, who I would suggest Trengove has covered for pace, he (Dom) is rarely, if ever moved off the ball in a contest. He has enormous strength through the core. Trengove similarly was very strong in the contest, a great example of that was the Danger tackle where he rag dolled him.

It was sad to see Trenners not being able to influence a contest, you could see he was broken. The Casey reports have him back and inside the contest dishing the ball out and/or using his smarts to get on the end of the ball.

Hodge, Selwood, Thompson, Bartel...these are a few that don't have great leg speed but have footy smarts and are strong at the contest. Trengove has the same smarts, if he's injury free I would expect the power to be back and that is the vital ingredient to have Jack back and on his way again.

Just throw together a few of those "old jungle sayings".

 

Would love to see Trenners put on a back flank and play a similar role to what Boyd does for the Dogs. 

We need a football brain back there and a bloke who can create with vision and foot-skills. 

Would love to see him back against the Lions this week.

Jordie was having a shot at goal.

Actually it would be interesting to see how his straight line speed compares with some of the other midfielders we have, I don't think it helps if you have good speed but can't get to where the ball is.

There have been plenty of times I've seen Melbourne players tailing off behind their opponents.

If JT was going to play i think we'd know by now, they'd have a video on the website of the boys being told, JT playing his first game back is nearly a bigger deal than some of our young guys playing their first games.

I'll be over to the G for the first time this year as well... keen as for Trenners to get a go in the squad!!!

I completely agree with this but if they are going to do it you would want him getting a good block of footy in that role at Casey. I am surprised that he has been used predominantly as an inside mid.

He might have asked the coaches (and that Burgo chap) to keep the announcement low key and to not make a big deal of it. Strikes me as the type that would want to just play football and get on with it.

Find out soon enough I guess
