Agree with this post in its entirety. 

It's almost like they've never heard of Hodge and Mitchell. 

Or more likely have an idea and can see that he lacks the other attributes that these players have which makes up for their lack of speed.

What is Jack Trengove elite at?

Bit like Mr 2 goal 'didn't look like missing' Spencer

Attacking a posters view without offering your own again beyond " FD might see it differently" 

how do you see that issue being improved?

if it's easy to improve why has he not to this point been able to do it?

Trenners will always be painfully slow, it cant be improved and he wont help us at AFL level unless we lost a bunch of inside mids to injury.

Saty just blindly defending every player as usual while telling the other person they cant have an opinion.

I'd suggest the FD see it exactly as I do, because he hasn't played in the 1's all year.

I get it guys - I WANT Trekkers to be a star. He deserves it. I'm just judging it purely on the evidence I see. I hope he proves me wrong :)

Hibberd looking solid. Not a big game but has done nice things. Took a courageous goal saving mark just before 3QT.

Rose coloured glasses I'd say saty, pretty hard to miss the lack of speed. 

I have also seen him 6 times love this year but have this wonderful ability to have a balanced view on players without letting emotion dictate that opinion.

Resounding reply. 

Maybe contextualise all of what I've posted.

On that quarter, Pederson looks to be in some form and is almost inrecognisable with his streamlined physique.  

Hibberd very rusty, Brayshaw and Trengove good, but not great.

Trengove is getting the ball but having little impact on the game, I think he will really improve as a player when he is more attacking with his ball use, he is a beautiful kick and very smart

What position does he play? His inside game is average, he can't break the lines, his possessions don't hurt. 

I don't understand why you mention him in the same sentence as Lewis and Hodge.

Lewis is probably almost as slow as Trengove, but he can make decisions a lot faster, dispose of the ball quickly and is a much smarter player so can get away with it.

Pedersen is a VFL player.  Can't believe people get excited by someone who is OK at this level.  He's not a key position AFL forward.

Hibberd looking like he's close to being ready.

Trengove makes good decisions.

Brayshaw better than VFL footy, but happy for him to stay there as long as required.

He has been doing one on one training, and he was doing a couple of interesting drills, so I asked him what they were for and they are for burst speed, he is never going to be Jayden Hunt but a full pre season and the one on one training and who knows

We always want to write off players on here, true he hasn't been getting a game at AFL level at the moment and has obviously been told to work on things, if he gets a game it means he has improved those things

Is Trengove at the huddle yet?

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
