The Jack Trengove is BACK Thread

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.

    I would play Trengove ahead of JKH, nothing personal, it just JKH looks so lost playing at AFL.

    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.

    Too much at stake now. I hope Jack thinks seriously about a coaching role going forward

    Poor Trenners, won't even get 1 final chance like Grimes did last year.

    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.

    If he cant get it a gig in such a injury ravaged side as we have now, id say hs goose is cooked.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
