How good is Trengrove

Featured Replies

Posted

I didn't really pay much attention to Trengrove when he played. I recall him playing some really good games and he was good enough to be made captain although way too young. Was he really good? Is or can he still be? Many are anxious to see him return. I am because I feel sorry for any young footballer who as had a bad run of injuries.

Yet quite a few are excited to have him back because they think he will have a big impact.

The club clearly believes in him as well.

So if he is still a real talent, in what way?

Will he be better and more determined?

Will he play many games?

What position?

 

 

 

Yes. Was a star. I remember a year or two after we drafted him saying that there were two guys on the list I trusted. One was him and one was Frawley. The reason we kept him around so long, and the reason the Tiges wanted him at a low price, was because he has basically every attribute you need. Brayshaw's brain, Robbo's hands, Viney's execution in the packs, Salem's kick... He was ready made and could play anywhere. Mid, forward, back.... Then one day all of a sudden, he's five metres ahead of some lumbering ruckman chasing the pill, and within a short distance, said ruckman is five metres AHEAD of him with both going at full tilt. He was slow. He was so painfully slow that all the footy nous and class couldn't make up for that deficiency. Yes he's been injured... but the main hope... the ONLY hope really, is that he can regain his pace, or at least some of it. He really was a jet. Even at 70 or 80% we'd have a solid player. If he rediscovered his pace, then we'd have a serious player on our hands, that would comfortably sit alongside Viney, Oliver and friends...

 

I feel that he went down and got injured at the worst possible time. He was one of those guys, like Watts, that needed to play through 2014, 2015. They have been career defining years for Watts and much-needed experience in a team that can win games. Trengove is coming from further back than the club was. It'll be hard to crack the 22 but I suspect it'll happen at one point this year. Hopefully it's at the MCG.


Trenners is a smart footballer. There is always room in a side for a smart player.

We will see him break into the team again and hopefully fans will be reminded just how good he is.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
