Grimes and Trengove future rests with Goodwin

Awsome stuff

This is great news. While I'm not sure he had it in him to push any of our inside mids out (unless jones and vince age quickly), he will be a very handy player should one of these guys go down

[Wiseblood 24,636]

Yep, super news this, and a decision that makes sense. Now that he has a full season under his belt he can have a dip this pre season at getting back to his best!

Good move to give him a one year contract. It gives him a chance to cement himself and if it doesn't happen he's not taking up a space on the list for a number of years like a Garland or Terlich type is at the moment.

Trengove is a good player with a great football brain. Thought he was stiff to be dropped as statistically he was comfortably in our best 22 players and unarguably better than a good chunk who kept getting fed a game at the time. Hopefully he can make it back to what we all hoped he would become.

Fantastic news. I'm sure he won't be on much coin, and I reckon he could challenge the likes of AVB, Bugg and Kennedy for a regular game.

Good news for him, but he's batting from so far back it's hard to know if the future is anywhere other than Casey. I'd suggest he be groomed into a forward just to maximise his value to the team

[Robbie57 1,996]

I am delighted.

Great news! Smart decision to give him an opportunity to show his worth next year after a full preseason. 

A lot of people mentioned Grimes and the death by a thousand cuts year he has had. But no one can say he wasn't given every chance.

Same will now apply to Trenners.

Getting a one year contract suggests that Goodwin has a role for him in mind, and one he believes he has the potential to do in the senior side.  That could very well be as a forward pocket with stints in the middle, but whatever it is, he will be given every chance next year.  Smart move by the club.

This.

May be a sub for a mid who goes down at some stage but surely the primary role earmarked by Goodwin will be the hard tackling, close to goal, scrapping forward who makes smart decisions and converts well at up to 40 metres

Just watched Roos presser and he said that Grimes and Trengove had a significant impact on the club and its ability to improve, two of the best quality people he has met in Footy.

Roos is all class as are Grimes and Trengove. As I said above I am delighted with the Trenners decision and if Grimes doesn't stay he will have my respect and admiration. I hope the club handles the situation in the best way possible.
