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.

His work ethic and positive attitude is a massive influence for the younger players to c.

Excellent.

No doubt he'll make the most of whatever luck he has earned, and be at worst a useful support across the midfield.

Chance of this becoming a bug success, too.

Another great decision from the club. You can't endure his type of injuries and assess his value until he has a full pre season and a full season. He showed great signs this year. 

This probably has signed Grimes papers and his last game at the club

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.

I am so glad you posted this, coz you have form, I am beginning to think you take the [censored] as much as I do.

Have you watched Trenners play at Casey this year, slowly he is getting back to where he was, he is starting to dominate games, a full preseason and who knows

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

Eh?

Excellent news. Very very happy for him.

Low investment for potentially high reward. Trenner is still a good player, the question over his pace is one that we can't answer without giving him more time.

I really can't believe it was 2009. I mean, I know it was, but seven years...it seems like yesterday that he was unveiled with Scully. Getting old.

I have nothing but respect for Jack and his perserverance. But what does he offer? No speed, no size, not in and under. I can't see where he fits in.

It is the modern game professor, we NEED at least 30 players of AFL standard to be fit and firing at any one time, it puts pressure on the incumbents in the team to perform, cover injuries, prevent different looks to opposition teams etc, it is not about him taking a spot, he could play midfield or forward, FD obviously think he is worth it

You have watched him this year? If not what is that appraisal based on?

When a player showed the early form he did, and is of such high calibre as a person, you'd wait for as long as you could before giving up.  I thought the club would give up, but I'm very pleased that it hasn't.  

Everyone just ignore Picket please.  Unfortunately we live in a country where we grant anyone the right to an opinion, no matter how unsavoury or downright mean spirited it is.

You spent several years pushing the case for one of the most useless forwards we have ever had on our list, Juice Newton.  That says it all about your credibility.

Fabulous news , good to give him more time to prove himself with a full preseason .

he has been very good for the club, and having to play during are bad times.

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.

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
