Jackson Trengove-welcome to the Bulldogs.

The media is speculating it's around 450K per season.

Cool happy with 450k worth getting at that price for sure.

The media is speculating it's around 450K per season.

Less than speculated and seems a bit of a bargain

[jazzadogs]

Still not sure 4 years is the right timeframe, but think that security was a big factor in getting the signature so I'll cop it.

Hope to god we play him in his proper position in the backline taking the gorillas, not the ruck.

Happy with this pick, his a good moneyball pick, and not expensive.
Some stats here : https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/...ckson-trengove

I remember I saw him in a couple of games a few years ago where he was marking everything. Cannot recall which years.
But it could be one of these 2 year: marks and port finishing position on ladder.
2011 - 4.7 Marks, finished second last
2012- 4.2 marks, finished 14th

Interesting he has not been able to replicate these 2 seasons since. Injuries, role change and competition for spots

The Western Bulldogs have today lodged the paperwork with the AFL to acquire the services of Port Adelaide utility Jackson Trengove.

Under the rules of Free Agency, Port Adelaide could match the offer made by the Bulldogs, and has three days from the lodgement of the paperwork to make the decision.

Trengove was recruited to the Power from the Calder Cannons with a second round selection (pick 22) in the 2008 NAB AFL Draft.

The 26-year-old has played 153 games for Port (including 19 in 2017), mostly as a key defender, but with an ability to play in the ruck or as a tall forward.

The 197cm, 97kg utility won the Power’s Best and Fairest award in 2011 and was nominated for the NAB Rising Star Award in 2010.

Players are eligible for Free Agency if they have completed at least eight seasons at their club.

Afl.com.au -

Trengove confirmed his impending departure to the Kennel on Friday when he submitted the official free agency paperwork with the AFL. It is believed the Bulldogs' offer is for four years and worth about $2 million.

The 26-year-old Victorian is a restricted free agent so the Power could match the Bulldogs' offer. However, they are not expected to exercise this right, largely because letting Trengove go will create the salary cap space they need to bring in Tom Rockliff and, most likely, Steven Motlop via free agency.

The Power have three days to make a decision, but could announce they won't block Trengove's path to the Whitten Oval by the end of Friday.

Bulldogs list manager Jason McCartney told AFL.com.au on Friday morning the club was confident Port wouldn't stand in Trengove's way.

4 years ~500k. I'm quite happy with that.

JACKSON Trengove is excited at the prospect of joining the Western Bulldogs and he's doing his best to convince Port Adelaide teammate Jarman Impey to come along for the ride.

Trengove is on the verge of becoming a Bulldog after the club lodged a free agency offer at League headquarters.

Impey is also considering a move away from Alberton despite being contracted until the end of 2018. AFL.com.au reported last week that the Bulldogs and Hawthorn were among the clubs trying to lure the dashing defender to Victoria.

Trengove told NAB AFL Trade Radio he hoped his long-time friend would remain his teammate at Whitten Oval.

"I'm working on him, boys. He's in a unique situation where he has to make a decision and I can't make it for him," Trengove said of Impey.

"I'd love to make it for him and I know where he'd end up if I was making it but he'll make a decision in the next coming weeks and he'll make the right decision for what's best for him."

Trengove confirmed his impending departure to the Kennel on Friday when he submitted the official free agency paperwork with the AFL. It is believed the Bulldogs' offer is for four years and worth about $2 million.

AFL.com.au reported on September 1 the Bulldogs were the frontrunners to lure Trengove from Port, having overtaken other interested clubs headed by Carlton.

The 26-year-old Victorian is a restricted free agent so the Power could match the Bulldogs' offer. However, they are not expected to exercise this right, largely because letting Trengove go will create the salary cap space they need to bring in Tom Rockliff and, most likely, Steven Motlop via free agency.

The Power have three days to make a decision, but could announce they won't block Trengove's path to the Whitten Oval by the end of Friday.

Bulldogs list manager Jason McCartney told AFL.com.au on Friday morning the club was confident Port wouldn't stand in Trengove's free agency move.

"We're pretty confident, but until it's signed off on you never do know in this game," he said.

"He's got great experience, he's a versatile player having played in all three areas of the ground. He also has great leadership and is extremely competitive. He's a 153-game player and you think of the greats that we've had go out of our club this year in Bob Murphy and Matty Boyd, he fits a nice age profile in our group too."

Impey would be a great get from a team balance perspective. Some foot speed out of defence would be very handy for us.
