The Jack Trengove is BACK Thread

[Whilsch 1]

Guys, as an interstate dees fan I have long been an admirer of Jack trengove. Seems every time I see the Casey results he is in best players. Anyone know why he isn't getting a run, especially with all these injuries??

Mate....mate.... he's close....Real close. 

Just working on a few things !! 

Feel for the bloke tttt.

This is just a hypothetical here so bear with me, but....

We know JT is a FA this year and has the option of walking come seasons end. And, whilst most of us agree that the previous month has presented as the most fertile period for Jack to get a trot given the injuries and consecutive 6 day breaks, the club has not taken that opportunity.

We are all miffed but are we over-looking the most obvious reason some players do not get played?

Has Trengove already played his hand and told the club he's leaving at seasons end? I could then understand the resistance from Goodwin to play him at all this year.

Plausible?

Love Tren. Can't wait to see him back!

[DemonWA 3,936]

Unfortunately i think the coaches just see more upside in other players. 

[Stretchyourself 42]

Not exactly sure why he's not getting a game sorry. But he can't be too far away. 

[DubDee 26,134]

Goody reckons he's in the mix!!

[Biffen 12,947]

Settle down Jack .

Stop posting on Demonland- Goody won't fall for it

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,947]

I thought we cleared up the spelling of his name circa 2010-2011??

I think it's more likely Goodwin just doesn't see a spot for him, I thought he'd get a run last week with our injuries. 

Trenners has some interests outside footy that I am sure the club will make sure he's getting into for the end of the season when he walks away.

Goodwin has said he doesn't really look at 'outside' and 'inside' mids but expects players to be both - hence Billy bundled back to the 2's to work on his inside-craft. If he doesn't think Trenners has the capacity to effectively spread from the contest, then the idea of selecting him for the hard-ball in the middle won't be enough. And that's why so-called 'NQRs' like Harmes and ANB are selected ahead - hard at the contest and hard on the spread.

Ugh! ENOUGH ALREADY!

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

Educated risks.

Has also played Hannan, stuck with Harmes, ANB, McDonald, Frost.  Has taken a punt on Smith.

You can't exactly encourage bravery and high risk, high reward football and then be a fuddy duddy with selections.

I think McQueen might be on the right track.

Thanks guys, some good points (as well as some why bother rubbish -really- if you don't want to participate or just do a snide remark, do yourself and ourselves a favour and say nothing)- I'm sure he probably is leaving, whether he goes anywhere is another point- the outside inside argument is valid, but you do have to question it a bit-where would hawthorn be without tom Mitchell currently-total inside mid. Could also argue that Lewis is an inside mid only too.

ps I updated the spelling

I would like to add another perspetite. 

Vince and Lewis have only another year or two left each. Jack is still only about 24. He has a solid year of football under his belt and his body has held up well and his form has been terrific.

Rather than using good picks and lots of cash to replace those two, Jack is already part of our culture and on our list. He would be ideal to step in to their roles.

While I suspect he is already on the bus to Adelaide, I think we should be going all out to keep him. There are not many 24 year old previous captains with engines and courage like Jack's for the picking.

If Jetta had of missed that spoil, the cries for change in the team would be much louder.

Agree.  But might as well start a sentence by saying "if the earth was flat".  Nev.... miss a spoil...... pfffft.

Let it go for gods sake people... How many different was does it need to be spelled out for people HE IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH ANYMORE. Goodwin has to come up with some excuse he's not going to say "oh he's too slow, he doesn't fit into our game style or best 22" 

It's sad and unfortunate that it's turned out this way for Jack but he's time at Melbourne is up. People comparing him to Petracca, Viney, Jones & Tyson in previous posts is ludicrous Petracca actually has a bit of dash and the rest aren't quick but their not slow like Trengove.. People sooking about Smith getting a game ahead of him, maybe because Smith is a long term prospect and has athleticism & agility and a future unlike Trengove... I hate to be shooting Bambi here but people need to get over it. He's finished. Done. Also people saying he maybe moving as FA or he's trade bait, no chance he gets a go at another club...

Both Vince and Lewis won B&F at their clubs - Trengove hasn't even come close to that. Perhaps he could have if his body hadn't let him down.

Trengove's future lies in coaching, not in being a fringe player at an AFL club. I suspect he'll play out his career at a lower level - SANFL is the obvious candidate - where he'll eventually captain a team (again), and then move into coaching.

[Skuit 10,031]

Trenners has it pretty sweet. Paid to fly around Australia watching footy from the best seat in the house.

[bandicoot 1,395]

Really needed him in the clearances tonight...

[Supreme_Demon 3,900]

Hopefully there is a good chance that Jack Trengove will play this week against Port Adelaide.

Especially with Bernie Vince now suspended for 2 weeks for his silly misdemeanor.

I openly admit to being a bit of a Jack Trengove fan so fingers-crossed he DOES play this week?

We believe in you Jack! I hope you play on Saturday at the MCG and prove all those doubters wrong!
