It's been a massive few days for former MFC skipper Jack Trengove.

Won the Keith Sims OAM Medal (the Brownlow equivalent) in the Adelaide Football League on Thursday night.

He was then BOG in a premiership victory as his Prince Alfred Old Collegians beat Payneham Norwood Union in the Div 1 Grand Final on the weekend.

Said it's the most enjoyable season of football he's ever played.

Congrats Trenners!

Appreciate that it was early in his career but I believe the incident with Dangerfield that led to his 3 match suspension left it’s mark on Jack. He was a fair player and he never really lived up to the potential he showed in his early days at the club. Not long after being appointed co-captain with Jack Grimes, the injuries came and he was never the same.

Hopefully, in addition to his success at home, he got a measure of satisfaction from Dangerfield’s plight as Melbourne dismantled his team on Friday night. 

Great bloke , got a cruel hand and kept positive and never dropped his bundle. Was amazing his rookie year really thought we had a 250 game future Captain, didn't work out but I know for a fact his heart beats true.

 

A very thoughtful and well spoken person, Trengove. His speech at the Melbourne B&F when he departed the Dees was first-class. Great to see he's had such a successful season, and is still getting joy from the game.


Looks bloody fit enough to be playing AFL.

 

Jack Trengove rang Paul Roos and instigated a meeting with him to beg him to consider coaching us and Roos agreed to meet with him to get the ball rolling.

Trengove has played a bigger part in where we are at the moment that what alot of people realise.

Great person and Melbourne Football man.


Remember a interview he did with someone on TV where he was asked about drugs or supplements (might have been during the essendon thing)He turned the the reporter and bluntly said "Not at this club".

 

Love Trenners. So happy for him

such a gentleman

Another flag for Jack Trengove on the weekend.

Congratulations to Billy Stretch, too, on tasting premiership success with Glenelg.

Two ex-Demons doing good things back home.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
