Can't find a thread on Jack's appearance on Open Mike.

His decency and leadership sadly far surpassed his luck and speed. Now running an investment company for ex-athletes. Still speaks lovingly of MFC.

The world is a strange place. Trump is president, Dusty is a dual premiership player (from the same draft), and Jack is out of the league.

What number was Trump taken in that draft?

Great to hear from Jack. Quality Human

Mike’s questions were very lame. I wanted to know more about his captaincy with Grimes. Are they mates still??

Was a pretty boring interview to be honest. Would've loved to hear a bit more about neeld and his influence, where it went wrong etc. Didn't really ask any interesting questions unfortunately

Agree 100%, but Mike was always shallow. That ep could have easily gone for an hour

trengrove said there was stuff going on in the background, which is obvious, why didn't he get asked about the specifics of it, was captaincy player voted only, peptide issue, not getting played by roos, did the club mismanage his injury, was neeld really that bad (l think l know the answer to that one)

Watched the interview and, as always with discussions on Jack Trengove’s career, left feeling a bit sad and empty.  He’s a very resilient man though, much stronger and more positive than most.  No one could ever blame him for being a bit bitter, but that’s now how his mind works.

 

I imagine Mike doesn’t surprise many guests with his question.  I’d say that JT made it clear what he was and was not willing to discuss... one day we’ll get the whole story.

I love Jack, but his monotone voice made it impossible to watch. A very boring Open Mike.. 

Agree with others, a lot of questions missed.

For someone that really witnessed some interesting events (and being a part of them) there weren’t many tough questions or answers. I would’ve been keen to hear more about what he thought about the sacking of Bailey and everything that followed. 

Poor guy still doesn’t get luck with injuries! But good on him for having such a positive attitude, honestly if I was him I’d probably be cursing the world.

Thanks for posting the interview. Wasn't too hard hitting, but nice to see Trenners talk about his career that was cut short. He was terribly unlucky with how his career panned out. Being made captain of the worst club ever at 20 years old and the foot injury... dealt a very poor card.

People forget how good Trengove was. He reminded me a lot of James Hird with some of his smarts and the way he bobbed up at the right moment. He also was very versatile and a great mark for his size, very similar to Jimmy Bartel. He was a super talent. An old mate of mine who used to be in recruitment for a big Victorian club still rates Trengove as one of the best underage talents this century. Skills, smarts, toughness, leadership, flexibility, he was the perfect young talent.

I'd argue he had a better first few years than any current demon bar Oliver. Trengove and Dustin Martin went 2 and 3 in that draft and both were neck and neck in terms of stats and impact for the first few years of their careers. Trengove shone more as he had leadership ontop of the brilliant footballing ability and output. He then suffered the foot injury and Dusty stayed injury free and kept improving. I truly believe Trengove would've been an All Australian midfielder if he'd got over the foot injury and not lost his pace or kicking ability.

Very unlucky how it panned out. I'll always have a soft spot for Trenners and admire his positivity and constant desire to keep pushing and trying when others more fortunate couldn't be bothered.

Agree with others on here. It was quite a light weight interview. 

Mike may have had more questions but Trengove really waffled on when answering some basic questions. I felt he repeated himself numerous times and could have been a lot more concise with his answers.

that was one of mike's more light weight interviews

i reckon he's been spooked a little bit since mark jackson went troppo at him a few years back

I reckon Mike has been a woeful interviewer.

Had Bob Skilton on & Bob was about to get into the turbulent times as our coach & his sacking & the drama with Stan Alves.

Mike just stopped, didn't ask a follow up & things petered out - we didn't learn anything.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
