BUMP!

Looks like Jack will get another year at Port.    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-24/port-trio-set-for-lifelines-rookie-still-in-limbo

Rapt for him.  Of all people he deserves to keep his AFL dream alive. 

Good reward for working his butt off. Well done. 

Some other players could learn from his work ethic.

Well done, Jack T.

Two other things in that AFL article caught my eye:

• Dom Barry was delisted on Monday and Jimmy Toumpas has earlier been delisted. Port's ex-Melbourne contingent has thus halved 
• Port may have 5 ruckmen on their list (it might still be reduced to 4). While I appreciate one is only a 19 year old recovering from an ACL, that's still a lot of ruckmen to be carrying

He'll be entering his 10th year on a senior list.  With his injury issues, this is a testament to his character that clubs have wanted to retain him for this long with such uncertainty over his body and fitness.

It’s unheard of, really. He averages just under 10 games a season, so he’s been afforded a slack that very few players would have had. 

Hopefully things finally come together for him. Fair to say I’m not optimistic, but best of luck to him.

I understand the pragmatism, but a big part of me wishes that Trenners was still on our list somehow.  Glad to see he has been held onto by Port.

Would there have been a time when we had all of Gawn, Martin, Spencer, Fitzpatrick and Russian on ours?  At thr time, Gawn was probably a 19 yo recovering from an ACL as well.

That's two full Michael Newtons! (Scientific abbreiation Mn)

Although, the Mn officially refers to time spent on a list without making regular appearances in the senior side. So Trengove can really only claim one Mn, all due to injury.

I really hope he manages a quiet resurgence. Would be one of Port's very few true hard workers.

2010 , 2011 and 2012 I believe.

Dom Barry is interesting after looking good in the pre-season.

He wasn’t given much of a chance. Feel for him after working so hard to get back imto the system. Still, he played 10 more AFL games than you or I.

Jack Trengove's career needs to be put out of its misery. 

We haven't had a good run with Jacks. Should never recruit another one.

How many Jake Spencers (Js) though?

Don didn’t play again in the seniors, had a six week ‘suspension’, after a bit of a drunken run in with team officials after the game in Shanghai, where he was the traveling emergency
