Sneaky suspicion he will get picked up by Sydney. On the small ground his pace won't be an issue and he would come cheap - an issue for Sydney with Buddy and Tippett. His footy smarts and strong marking would be ideal for the Swans.

Strangely i was thinking the same.At a good club with a solid backline his clean disposal would fit in.

Trengove seems like a nice lad. Good demeanor. Just not cut out to be a footballer. Maybe a lack of talent in the end, not sure. Just wasn't cut out for it. Some have it and some don't.

He was made to be a footy player cut down by injury nothing else. Got the captaincy far too early, there were times when form dictated him be dropped as all third year player need to be, but because he was captain in his third season that was a joke by neeld, they say the players voted for it, the empowerment of the player went to far in this case. I know I will get knocked down but Maloney should have been made captain or Jones, and for Maloney he was not the best person for the job it was just no one else was ready for it.

This might well be correct. I think he is an ideal back pocket, has good footy smarts, reads the game well.

That's sheer bloody rubbish! You obviously didn't see him in his first year

Green should have kept the captaincy for another year. Neeld wanted to make a statement and he did. Just not the one he or we were hoping for. Turned out to be every bit as disastrous as our handling of Juniour.

His body might not have been up to it, but until he got the footy injury he was well and truly up to it.  I was excited for his future, and then he got the captaincy way too soon and a foot injury that he's never really recovered from.  It's a shame.

Bottom line is that he certainly had the talent.  It was just taken from him in the end.

Without wanting to rake over old coals was Green shunted for the 186 debacle?

Watch Jack Trengove giving his ‘farewell speech’ at the B&F.  

Absolute champion bloke. Another cursed MFC champion. 

Hope he gets success wherever or whatever the future brings. 

 

Yeah there was a lot of " water boarding " there and he's still on the list and it went on for far too long.

If they gave it to 9 then "they " should have given it to 4 too to say a few words

All of you're 3 lines above say it all

If we as a club are as advanced as " they like to think " then Watts wrong with hearing it from the obviously the most popular player in the room by the hand claps !?

Beware of South Australians they are some WATT [censored] !

Qweaere doesn't even qualify as cromulent. I think that was your spell-checker taking offence rather than the censor

This exchange embiggens neither of you.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
