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

Nice one! Well done Dees.

Whatever you think of his playing it is the right call by the club and Trenners to take whatever the offer is up.

Bring on 17!

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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
