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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
