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

HMMMMM?

Well, take this week for example; as he is the emergency he would take the position of any midfielder or flanker who is injured or sick. That's on form, not sentiment.

Next year, after a full preseason he could take the spot of anyone in the team he has that much talent and passion. The way he has come back from this 'career ending' injury, I wouldn't count anything out for him.

Cmon Chook, Mc Donald was three times the footballer Trengove ever was!

Which just goes to show that you have absolutely no understanding of what his true value to the footy club was. Same goes with Trenners.

People, if you see posts that upset you, use the "Report post" button that appears at the top of the posts.  Don't engage in an argument with the person about it, that is likely to end you up in hot water as well for topic derailment.  I'm getting very tired of continually having to clean these threads up to keep them readable, and bans are going to start being handed out.

Nasher, really?! It's a footy forum? Comment/discussion/argument is par for the course I'd have thought. Or has something been delet d that was out of order?

 

Ps Picket yelling the loudest and longest doesn't make you right. And being correct doesn't make you right either. Grow up know all.

Which goes to show that I do know! I know what his true value was !! That's why I was totally dismayed at his treatment. 

I repeat Junior Mac was three time the player and leader that Trengove was!

And I repeat that delisting him damaged the fabric of our footy club, just like delisting Jack Trengove would have done exclamation point.

Very happy to hear this. If one or two of our core midfielders go down next year i would expect Trengrove to be the perfect replacement, and who knows with another injury free pre-season he may get back to what he was in his first few years :)! I expect that this means Grimes is gone as i feel we could only sign one of them.

No sorry Chook cannot agree with this! At the time Trengove and Grimes were co captains we had No leadership ! Zilch! It ws a very bad choice with not too much elese on offer! We now have many leaders ready to take the mantle! Cutting Trengove now would be absorbed and we would move on effortlessly!

But we again played the cheese instead of the trap!

Two players who hired a sprint coach and got faster.

 

Bob Skilton

 

Kevin Bartlett

 

Some of you may have heard of them.

And I bet the players paid for them with their own money, well now that I think about it maybe not Kevin. But you know what I mean.

Pickett, take some advice. Say what what you have to say then STFU. You're like a child the way you carry on.

I never take advice!

HMMMMM?

What if he adds rather than takes? I think you are looking at this way too simplistically picket. At best he'll be pushing guys like Hunt, Wagner, Kent, Vince, Milkshake, BenKen and Hibberd (?) to either improve or be dropped to the Casey. At worst he adds inexpensive depth to come in for injuries or poor form. I'd love to see him improve his tank and speed to push those mentioned To the limit of senior selection. I'm not saying he's better or worse than those mentioned, moreso that I'd rather he push them at selection time each week than MJones, Grimes, JKH or Riley.

An athlete not being able to get faster is probably the most absurd thing I've heard on here... Especially following the olympics.

If your pace is set in stone, then how does a runner improve? Post pb's? What do they do at training with their coaches??

Ah Moonman, some brevity and lucid possibilities you suggest!

You make some valid pionts here! I can see the logic in your appriasal!

You've had a long Friday lunch I expect. 

You're not On your pat malone on if Trenners will make it. Being correct or not doesnt make you right in your approach.

Do you have anything to do with coaching by the way?

No Comment re coaching,!! However, I enjoyed the 'Robust' debate on this topic!

It makes Demonland such a wonderful forum for all!;)

Cheers all,

Ho hum, so  not one poster can tell me Whose spot he would take!! So I take it no ones! 

Therefore he plays at Casey for the year. Wonderful!

Following that logic, we'd have a list of only 22.

You've got the wrong end of the stick mate, the posts in question are gone.  Had nothing to do with picket - at least his incessant ramblings are on topic.

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.

Actually it was to get the pick 12 for Jake Lever who Roos rated extremely highly.

    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

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
