I'm not expert but I think Trenners best chance is as a Steele Sidebottom type outside runner who just goes all day, endurance is in his family after all. He's got the strength and smarts to get out of trouble in close, if he can just run the wings with enough of a motor to get the ball in space that might be enough.

Dee I don't think he has the necessary outside motor. That said I watched Luke Hodge this season and he looked like he was running in treacle at times but he was played as the quarter back in a good side where he had time to read the play and get to contests and played well early. In the finals where the Dawks were not controlling the mid field Hodge struggled down back. Maybe Trenners can play an inside mid role or a role off half back where he has time to read the play. He is a smart footballer held back by his lack of mobility. It is a shame and still a quandary as to where his speed went at such a young age.

    I don't think he was ever that fast. He's an endurance athlete. Used to be right at the front of our time trials. I think high half forward/wing (on a slower opponent than say Stretch or Hunt on the other wing) and just running all day is the go. Works for his sister. Getting lean without overloading his foot will be the secret.

    Last year when he first started running Brendan McCartney said 'you'll get that arse off the ground'. I think the idea is to get fitness in to his legs and I think it's happening.

    Next Monday is listed as a closed session. Does the club mind supporters coming to view these? Is it just the media that is directed at?

    They are not the greatest fans of supporters at closed sessions, but then again it is Goschs, but they haven't advertised next week yet, thought it should be an open session at 11am on Monday

    Okay. I've only been told it's closed by someone else - not actually checked myself.

    Is there any possibility it'll be earlier, like 9.30am?

    Me nah, periphery reports, chats with players, I get bored with describing the drills unless it's a new one, besides which we have had some excellent reports from other posters

    A loud mouth Irishman that can fight. Current 2 division champion in the UFC, and athletes in all sports around the globe are mimicking his strut like Kent at the end of the video.

    The Hibberd reports are a bit disappointing. You'd think he'd at least come in decent shape. 

    Is it any surprise? Him and his Essendon mates were on the sauce overseas for about a quarter of the year.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
