Trengove signs

[Dee-Nee 91]

If we thought he was so good, why were we happy to unload him to Richmond?

Roos was looking for draft picks, with the idea being that we were hoping to package a couple of first rounders together to lure Dangerfield to the club.  I'm sure we tested the waters with a number of players, and when Richmond showed interest, we bit.

Fantastic news. I've followed Jack since his days at Sturt and I'm glad the club has shown faith in his recovery.

HE IS SLOWWWW, the modern game has past him by! 

What position will he play and whose spot will he take?? 

Eh?

Perhaps he could develop into a role like Luke Hodge floating around half back, reading the play to intercept in a good side where you have some time and space.  Hodge I reckon this year is slower than Trenners but he has re-signed for next season. I think there is still a chance for Trenners to play a role where he can play to his strengths and hopefully with a full preseason and some expert guidance regain some speed. If you are not injured how do you lose speed at 25, you should be able to regain it surely if fit.

Great points  -  I think they help put this issue in perspective.

Bloody rapt with this news

[Return to Glory 8,478]

Sometimes it goes beyond the on-field. The club's retainment of Trengove speaks of the importance of making decisions which also impact the fabric of the club. We got it wrong with James McDonald et al and it set the club back a long way. There's no denying it. Whilst there's every chance Trengove could falter, the key thing, for mine, is how we treat a respected and courageous clubman. It's the right decision.

[Gorgoroth 13,189]

I'm loving this. 

Not sure wether trenners will ever get to the ceiling that looked a monty when he first played but I want him to succeed, love the man.

So we have re signed a SLOW  player who will struggle again next season?

So what position does everyone see him playing  Eh? Brilliant!

A wasted extension IMO

Jesus Christ, no wonder we never improve with lets be gentle philosophies that really serve no purpose! who Adore players who are waaay past it!

And that boys and girls is what they call a troll.....

What should Trenners work on to improve over summer? What are his current weaknesses as well as strengths? What value can he bring to the team in terms of position needs, experience and skills? This is fair and reasonable to discuss, I would've thought, without being shouted down.

I believe if he cannot improve his speed he will struggle to get games. I really hope our fitness guys can work on this. To our medico posters (Webber), it possible to improve speed, esp after his setbacks? His tank will certainly improve with another preseason. 

I'm pleased the club has given him another year. Trenners will certainly leave no stone unturned in his efforts to succeed.

Probably just moi, but I'd offer Boomer a 2 year contract with this in mind.

As others have mentioned, a part time sprint coach should be the go here.

Trenners should even be able tio use connections through his sister to find someone appropriate.

That and penetration in his kicking.

His footy smarts, toughnes,  disposal and marking ability are all still there.

Why?? Why a Troll??? Because I have a very valid opinion?? 

People like you are the reason that this club still is without a premiership 50 years down the track!

A PART TIME SPRINT COACH?? YOU ARE IN NODDY LAND! You can't develop pace< especially when you were never quick to start with!

Sentiment? Bah I repeat whose spot will he take?? 

Time to take a hard nosed approach to this footy club! Clayton Oliver gets dropped just so he can play at Casey?? Cmon

He should be in the team

WE NEED HIS UNCOMPRIMISING ATTACK ON THE FOOTY!

Cmon lighweight!

Whose place will Jack Tengove replace in 2017??

I ask the same question again if you are not injured how do you lose speed at 25? Most people say he was fast enough at 20, yes he had the foot problem in between but what is it now? He should be mobile enough now to compete.

McDonald peaked at 34.

Which didn't make the premeditated decision to delist him look any better.

He was average for a long time before he got the Khyber.

Disagree, Junior Mac was a sensational player, still quick,when shafted  and a victim of some shizen powerplays between senior club figures!

A much better player than Jack Trengove, and deserved better!

He was good when we cut him but he was lucky to ever even make skipper tbh.

let alone play for so long.

We made the call maybe a year early but tuff [censored].

Agree. Junior was a late bloomer.

And so by the same logic Jack Trengove should now be gone!! But isn't?? ! Brilliant!

I REST MY CASE!
