I must admit last Sunday I did start to question the decision, but I'm willing to give him a pass on one bad game and see what he can do this week. Even if he doesn't play well it's not the kind of decision to get overly upset about. We've got plenty of list spots this year with the reality being that we are unlikely to fill them all with quality. If Spencer is on the list next year it's hard to be too upset about Trengove.

we put the kid through hell, making him captain way to early after some good early form and then he had an injury that most thought he'd never make it back from and he did, he's earned one more crack, a full pre season and then it's fair game, he either cements his spot or he leaves knowing he just wasn't quite good enough.

Supposedly there's no sentiment in AFL football, but I think that Trengove has earnt the right to give it a shot. He's still young enough for us to reap the rewards if he can make an impact next year.

But I do agree with Picket when he said the Trengove did look slow on Sunday.

It's interesting if you listened to Jordan Lewis on AFL 360 last night he spoke about how a lot of players at the Hawks and Dogs aren't fast players but they move the ball quickly, i don't think we'll ever see Trenners streaming down the wing having four running bounces, i just don't believe that excludes him from being a good player.

the club would moniter his top speed and clearly they think it can reach an acceptable level

I actually meant slow in mind, not body. Oliver, Salem and Dunn looked a level above with their quickness of decision making. Trengove barely looked VFL standard.

You dope, on so many levels.

Someone tell me WHY we resigned him recently! He was dreadful today!! Too slow for the modern game. I just do not understand this reasoning?!

He will not improve his pace, Good servant of the club, thrust into Captaincy far too early, but sheeit its a ruthless business, on what basis was he re signed??

Because it is a sign of goodwill after all he has been through with injuries and the burden of captaincy, not hard to understand for most.

Raise your sights PF.  Your sights are too low, & cannot see through the congestion, to 2017 - 2018.

Culture is huge. Trenners and his treatment will go a long way to setting a desired culture IMO.

 

our treatment of Jnr Mac was an example of hardnosed ruthlessness, how did that work out for us?

What do we owe him? Maybe the question can also be asked what does he owe us? Maybe we only want to move on a certain number of players this year to go harder at next years so called better draft crop.

I can only assume that the full stop and comma keys are missing from your keyboard?

When every sentence I read ends in exclamation or question mark, I feel like I'm on the Frankston line and some ice fiend has just got on screaming his head off and I just don't listen to the garbage he's yelling.

Jnr Mac was a much better player than Trengove ever was and therefore the comparison is not realistic! But I take your point!

Well oh Oracle of correct Keyboard Culture! You can think that!! But Yeah idiosyncracies aside! I don't spend every waking hour on the Keys where RSS is real and doctrinal content and political correctness is at a "Premium! " Excuse this Poor Keyboard Technician!! 

Now, What was your piont agian?? Einstein??

Do you really need to ask the same question every week (or every time your sitting bored at home)??

He's signed. That's won't change.  

The football department see something. You don't.

 

Bump this thread when you have something new to contribute to the discussion; this is just the same old diatribe all over again.

We owe each other.  We owe him a decent chance to recover, based on what he sacrificed for us when we called on him.  And based on his character.  His footy smarts, & his work ethic to go beyond.

Great clubs are based around great people.  Trenners is a person you want around your club.

Chill out mate. It's been mentioned a fair few times, but he wasn't expected to get back to AFL level at all this year after his injuries, but he did. That shows you the character of the player. It should also tell you that he had barely any preseason and has very little base to come off due to his injury, so to be judging him off one game at the end of the year is short sighted, particularly given he was fantastic early in the year.

What do you think of Tyson's speed by the way?

There, right there is your problem Picket.

You mind is in the past, instead of the possibilities to come.
