In todays market I imagine it will be a fair bit more, as we know these blokes don't grow trees.

Jackson Trengove to the Dogs, odds shortening. Major shock now if not at kennel next year under free agency ...
He'll lose 3-4 kgs (back to his pre-2016 weight) and play predominantly back, which I like.
He'll probably be our no 1 defender and will cost us nothing in picks, for me it's a yes. Given we have chased tall backmen the past few trading periods it's clearly a position we need help in and Trengove can take the monsters leaving Zaine to play a legitimate CHB role which means Morris can play mid-sized and if Adams is in the side he can play intercept backman or as a leading forward.
Collins is barely ready, Roberts has gone backwards and Young is incredibly raw so Trengove makes our team better for no cost at the trade table. A no-brainer.
Would allow Adams to play forward too.
If Adams stays fit he'll be one of the most important members of our side, particularly if we (seemingly) land Trengove.
Trengove's not worth 600k IMO and I'd rather 3 years than 4, but I do like that his addition frees up Adams to become our McGovern.
Needs to drop 4-5kgs and become a key defender again though - currently too top heavy/ala ruckman-esque.
Whats his injury history ? Just curious .
Does he have any and has he had any major ones ?
He has had quite a history of injuries from foot, ankle, knee, hamstring, shoulder although I haven't heard of much over the past couple of seasons.
A quote from The Advertiser in 2015:
And from his Bio:Quote:
PORT Adelaide has lost pivotal defender Jackson Trengove for the rest of the pre-season.
The key backman’s wretched run with injury took another turn after he was advised by doctors to have surgery this week on his left shoulder.

After arriving at the club at the end of 2008 with severe knee and hamstring injuries, Trengove spent the entirety of 2009 getting his body right.
