Clearly the posters who want to continually talk down Trengove's chances didn't hear that his return to senior AFL footy this year wasn't expected. His rehab went ahead of schedule and the match commi

The annoying thing about the position people like pf take is that if it does go pear shaped, it'll be "see! I called this year ago! Slow slow slow! Fence knows footy!".  We can all see he's not w

That's great news.  I think he's a great player to help our list going forward.

 

Just as importantly however is keeping his presence and leadership around the club. He's a popular, highly respected figure in the playing group, and cutting a person of that calibre after what he's been through can be like poison to a playing list.

Go Trenners!

The club must obviously believe he can continue to improve. Good on him.

What's his most pressing need to work on over summer? Tank and speed?

These would be a priority, maybe with increasing the penetration of his kicking

Like every other player an injury free full pre season, the rest happens

While I agree, I would still love to hear of him working with a sprints coach

Along with hard work. 

He missed nearly two years of footy, worked his arse off to get back, and whilst at the moment he can't crack the AFL side, I am sure Justin Plapp is pleased with the performances he is putting in at Casey, he will know where his deficiencies are and work on them, like every other player

I'm sure he will know. At least let us have the discussion

Delighted for Jack and delighted that our great Club has done the right thing by him.  We've come a long, long way as a club since Junior McDonald was pushed out the door.

Well done, MFC. Also loved Roosy's words in his presser about both former captains.

I don't think Jack will make it, but I'm much happier giving him another contract than some others.

As the OP says too. It's the right thing to do. I like that we're repaying the loyalty he showed us.

I disagree I reckon he needs a good solid preseason (uninterrupted) and will reap the rewards in 2017.

As I said in the Trengove thread on the trading board, this is the right decision.  Deserves at least another year to have a fair crack at it.  If he makes it, then it's amazing.  If not then no harm is done.  Plus he continues to bring experience and leadership to the younger guys on the list as well.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
