Despite a solid campaign in the SANFL in his first year on the Power list, Jack Trengove could only crack it for three senior games. His disposal rate dropped from 28 to 16 on the step up in level, still not as good as his first two years at Melbourne in 2010-11. A high average of seven marks rescued his fantasy scores somewhat, underlining his footy smarts as he knows where to run to receive. Trengove will compete in preseason for the wing spot vacated by Jared Polec, up against the likes of Riley Bonner and Sam Mayes. He's got the ex-Lion covered, but Bonner might be a more difficult hurdle. AFL clubs look for pace from their wingmen, and that's something Trengove lacks after all those injures in his early career. Worth a flier if he looks good in the JLT.

Jack's back on track
A full season in the VFL for Jack Trengove, interspersed with a three-game taste in the seniors, was enough for the club to sign him on for another year. He has never recaptured the form of his breakout run in 2011, and had the previous two seasons ruined by a persistent foot injury that almost ended his time in the game. The club has already stated that they are preparing Trengove to play seniors this season, so the long rehabilitation of his foot and his career will be complete. He looms as a key part of the Melbourne build towards a long-awaited finals berth. It would be irresponsible to recommend anything more than a late flier though.
Trengove jacks up his scoring
Picked at #2 in what is shaping up to be a terrific 2009 draft, Jack Trengove has impressed the football world and looks to be a future champion of the game.
Hard at the contest with silky skills, it's quite obvious that playing a year in SANFL has helped Jack for the rigours of AFL football, as his scoring has shown. Impressive Dream Team and Supercoach averages of 72.9 and 74.8 show that this guy could be a champion in the near future. He's had two big SC games against Brisbane and Port, returning scores of 129 and 119, and he played a big hand in winning those games. His DT contribution has been solid, and for the remainder of 2010 it should be quite consistent with what he's produced in the first 12 rounds.
The choice is yours on whether to cull him or not, as he provides good bench coverage. He's still got a couple of good games left in him, and is a chance for the Rising Star, so beware of his scores.
