How good is Trengrove

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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
