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.

Bone spurs stopped him being picked.

Apparently had someone else appear for him at the combine, too.


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.

I've never watched an episode of Open Mike. Is it live or recorded? If it's the latter, is there any suggestion that it's edited? Mind you, if it's  edited you'd expect the best bits to remain, unless they're defamatory.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
