Jackson Trengove-welcome to the Bulldogs.

Sedat says Port getting Rockliff. So no compo for losing Trengove.

Any chance they match our offer and force a trade?

You'd hope not, I think not. It's a big gamble for them, an annoyed player for four years on $600,000 by matching it (apparently). I'm also assuming they need the salary cap to get Rockliff in comfortably with some scope to look at another player. Surely they see it as a net gain (and positive for their club), everyone else would.

The indication is that they need the 600K he was on for other players and his heart is set on returning to Vic...with us
This is where we 'could' use pick 26 for them in an effort to get Impey especially if we are only going to use 2 live picks

I hope Trengove comes in and takes a lead role in helping develop Young and/or Collins.

While we need him to perform on the field he can also add a bit with one or two of the youngsters.

I see his experience and leadership skills as value adds with him. We have a few younger KPs that need a solid citizen type to set an example of how a professional AFL player prepares and recovers. Apart from Dale Morris we don't have a really experienced KP on the list ATM for Cordy, Boyd, Young etc. to look up to.

Mr Cloke?

Mr Cloke?

I'm hoping he will be on the list next year. Trav Cloke has one more year of good footy left in him. I'd hate for him to play it in the WRFL.

But I did forget about him.

Tredrea stated that Port would likely assist Trengove to his club of choice. That's how highly they rate him as a person.

[Topdog]

I read somewhere last week that the deal was only 400k a year

That's a steal if true.

[EasternWest]

That's a steal if true.

Agreed. I was always reasonably satisfied with getting him, and at that price is even better.

Ay caramba, I just said 400k a year is cheap. That's nearly 4-8 times many salaries!

[bulldogtragic]

What are the odds we can get this done tomorrow? That is, Port not matching our offer.

Good apparently.

[bulldogtragic]

Hopefully port wave him on and off to training he comes.

[GVGjr]

A good sign for us, his club is being more than fair and reasonable which shows they have plenty of respect for the player. In turn the player seems to be putting a reasonable price on his services.

Jackson Trengove should be a good fit for us
