Cross was and probably still is quicker than Trengove.

With Wagner and Smith out I'm actually thinking Trengove will play on a back flank.

I very much doubt Cross was ever faster than anyone at melb..

I'm proud to say I've believed in Trengove getting back into the team for past three years and have never taken a backward step... until last week when I finally accepted that he'd never play for the MFC again.  

This game messes with the head/heart/soul!

 

Welcome back Trenners!

You should have let go earlier TPF, it might have been you holding him back all this time.

So good to see him back. Just hope he can fulfil his role and acquit himself well and I am sure he will. Go Jack.

 

Absolutely over the moon that Jack Trengove is back in the side!

Proved a few doubters here wrong!

All the hard work down at Casey has paid off!

I hope he plays an absolute blinder!

I personally wish Jack Trengove all the best!

Hopefully there is a HUGE applause when Jack Trengove gets on to the MCG!

GOOD LUCK JACK!!!

WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

 

 

Fascinated to find out what his role in the side will be. 

I just can't see Trengove playing in the fast Play - On style Goodwin is using. 

But he obviously has a role mapped out for Jack, this is an 8 point game in 48 hours. Finals are up for grabs

Good Luck Jack in whatever the job is you have been assigned.

Thanks mate. Stop Clock Watching

If anything, Trengove's return should provide the haters an opportunity to bag him for a lack of speed - real or not.

You know who you are.

I am really looking forward to seeing Trenners back, he was a genuine talent when recruited, tough, good footy smarts. 

I confess that when I saw he miss out on selection after losing Jones and Viney to injury, I didn't think I'd see him playing again for the Red and Blue. So yeah it's a bit surprising seeing him come back in this week. It's a big game for the club, and it's a very strong team we have out there, albeit a little down on form....

So it's not like he is filling in for injured players, Goodwin has put him in based on form and i'll be very interested to see the role he has been selected to play.

If Jack's lack of pace is exploited by Port Adelaide then his return has been a failure, hence why i am fascinated by what his (lock down) job will be...

Playing a lock down role is he?

- 3 goals 

- 2 goal assists

That is what i envisage on the MCG 

Even last year when he was dropped still pulled in 19 disposals, 5 tackles and 6 clearances. Not mind blowing stats but not exactly poor either. He unarguably outperformed guys like Oliver, Harmes and Bugg but was still dropped. I think the pace issues or overblown on here. 

At worst Jack will give it his all and win a share of contested ball and lay a bunch of hard tackles. Whether he is in the plans or not long term shouldn't effect how he is judged on his match day performance. If he does his part and wins some hard ball and puts in defensively that's all I'd ask. 

Best of luck Jack!

Can confess that I also thought he was gone just recently but very glad to be wrong about that. Where they play him may provide an an insight into the things he has needed to work on at VFL level..

I believe he is a replacement for out of form players like Smith and Wagner off half back who have been a little flat on their return. Has been playing off half back in VFL recently.

The other possibility is he replaces Vince in a run with role on one of ports mids. They tend to be strong bodied but can't think of any of them being really quick

Might be on that little smart-##se captain of theirs.....

So, does he play a "team" role or does he try to win kicks to look good?

If given a "role" on someone or a position, may not showcase his abilities. 

If he goes "off plan" he get a black marks from coaching staff.

Bloody difficult for him!

There is no doubt whatsoever Jack will play the "team role".

Thats the kinda guy he is. Just imagine, Trengove lightning it up in September.

Geez... I gotta sit down

Already watched the game? That's a skill

Go away....

I actually thought he was a bit stiff last year. Had a solid 20 touches in his comeback, then was one of the catalysts of our amazing second quarter against Collingwood. Did nothing of note against Sydney, but I'm loathe to even count that as an AFL game.

With Jones and Vince returns imminent, the pressure will be on, but if he gets 20 touches and lays some of his trademark tackles then he'll give Goody something to think about.

Bit stiff, solid 20 touches, lays some, carresses it down his throat

Not sure Bernie will be rushed back - he may have to earn his spot.

A bloke who has one or two seasons left versus a bloke who has at least 5 if he can perform.

Really hoping Jack can seize this opportunity and anchor a spot.

So Jack has been named and will actually play?
