    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

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.

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.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
