Jackson Trengove-welcome to the Bulldogs.

If he is coming can we please, as a forum, spell his name correctly. It's not Trengrove - that's the guy that just got delisted by Melbourne.

It's Trengove.

It's Trengove.

So is the guy that just got delisted at Melbourne. Both are Trengove, Jackson at Port Adelaide, Jack formerly at Melbourne.

Sounds great in theory but I read it more like, he is an ok forward, ok ruckman and ok defender and the sum of all parts is he is just ok.

We just gave Redpath 2 years and Trengove has 2 more things he can do to an acceptable level. Having someone who can provide cover in 3 areas we're deficient in is probably worth a slight overpay in years.

My mail is that the Trengove deal is a lock. Very good mailman, too. Never been wrong before.

Did you have to shout it T&T?

I think our favourite premiership mix examples is Leigh Brown. He was average at North, and was 'reasonable' to 'OK' in the different areas of the ground at Collingwood. They'll be no bronze Leigh Brown statues, but he and 21 of his class mates got a premiership medal with him an important cog. Trengove is a better version of LB who can also competently play in defence on big guys. JT might just be that cog that improves others up a level. This is our man based on where we are now, and where he is now. It may be boom or bust with JT, but to me he's what we need and the money and years seems fair. And to get him as a free agent, keeping our pick 26, makes it even better.

Need I remind everyone that Matt Spangher was a premiership player?

We don't need a team of world-beaters if we can build a world-beating team.

That reads like a not-so-subtle crack at Hinkley.

Fletcher Roberts is and is still a member of the Bulldogs list. Trengove is an upgrade on him

Fletcher Roberts has a premiership medal....Chris Grant does not.

I'm not massive on his kicking , but he has solid attributes .

Port fans reckon Trengove is a pretty good club man. That can't hurt, especially now.

One article reads he is a leader and really rated and wanted at the club , if that's true, begs the question why was he dropped and why wasn't he signed earlier ?

[Throughandthrough]

Trengove has actively campaigned for other Port players to stay at Port in the past when they had other options. And to his credit when dropped to the Magpies he busted his gut and played very well.

It is exactly what we need.
