He's faster, I agree.

What else?

Which is the sole reason he shouldn't be picked & played across half forward.. Goodwins all about trying to create turnovers in the forward half, these are generated by pressure which is caused by players with leg speed to put the pressure on. I love Trengove but he's playing days are over, people say "yeah his slow but" there's no buts you can't be slow in todays football. The reason he plays well at VFL level is because the speed of the game is drastically slower than AFL.. I hope he some how proves me wrong

Let's have a look at him on the big stage again ,then after about 3 or 4 games, make a judgement .

Everything is pure speculation as we had only one game to look at him since the foot injury,which he carried undiagnosed prior to that.

All well and good but the blokes we've had in to chase and create turnovers have hardly covered themselves in glory.

At least Trengove can lay and stick a tackle. Just remember that approx 3/4 of a VFL team is made up of AFL listed players. They can't all be plodders that only JT can catch.

Surely Jack is better right now than JKH .. ??

Defensive mid.  Reads the play well.    

But Tyson is probably keeping him out.  I'd like to see Jack get another go.  I think he'll get a chance at some point.

He'll get games this year but sadly he's become depth. We've done some wrong in the past but we've also had some rotten luck with high draft picks, I'm really hoping Brayshaw doesn't suffer the same bad luck as I think he could be an absolute gun. But then I thought that about Trenners too.

These turnovers ( not huge numbers ) are marvee. Someone who can actually kick a goal.... marvelous

He's actually been averaging 25+ touches, lots of tackles, marking the ball strongly and hitting the scoreboard. His case for selection is as good as anyone's.

Nobody knows what role he might fill when he finally meets all of Goodwins objectives for him. You've placed him with blokes who either play solely in the guts or rotate off halfback.

I believe Trengove can easily impact a contest in the forward half at AFL so there's no issues there.

If I was to have a stab at anything holding him out of the team, it would be his burst then closing speed ability when the opposition rebounds. Nothing new really but if he can somehow manage to improve these facets of his game, I still believe he's a better choice than what we've been trialling/persisting with.

1 goal in 4 games isn't exactly hitting the scoreboard. I'm also in the camp that he should have been rewarded earlier due to form but my gut feel is his pace is just cooked and is now just a 'Pedo' selection if a Tyson or Oliver go down.

Sad really because i still had hopes for Trenners to make a impact for us this year.

His career looked gone, the prognosis for his recovery from that foot injury was not great.

I bet he is thankful to just be playing footy again, at any level.

I cant believe that when we get an injury or someone with poor form.

I never even think of Trenners as a replacement. A young Trenners I thought was better than Dangerfield.

Now he is not even in Dangers shadow.

It would be great to see him don the Red & Blue again, but only if form warrants it.
