Jackson Trengove-welcome to the Bulldogs.

Re: Jackson Trengove

I think $450 over 3 yrs is fine.

Would much rather have Trengrove over Schoenmakers which I cannot believe we were chasing him.
Trengrove will help with those really tall forwards who we don't always have someone to match up on.

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

Not sure if his family are farming stock

I agree if we can get him for around that $500k mark, he would be a good addition. He is just about to turn 27, so he should be at his peak.

Mark Stevens tweet:

Jackson Trengove to the Dogs, odds shortening. Major shock now if not at kennel next year under free agency ...

Re: Jackson Trengove

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.

Sounds good to me. Do you think we would still chase a ruckman to help out till English is ready?

Re: Jackson Trengove

Would allow Adams to play forward too.

Re: Jackson Trengove

Would allow Adams to play forward too.

Which gives us some genuine flexibility much like McGovern at west coast.

Re: Jackson Trengove

Seems a perfect fit for our defence to me

Yep just a real no nonsense free agent signing for me.

Re: Jackson Trengove

Which in turn allows Adams to go into defence 5 minutes a quarter to cover Trengrove while he rucks (if he's our second ruckman). Which means Tom Boyd gets a lot more time forward.

Trengrove seems to create a domino effect of good things.

So this means, we have given up on Lever, or we still chase him and see Trengrove as a Ruck/defender ?

But the downside is that we on Woof are going to completey lose our minds on whether it's Trengrove or Trengove.

After signing Morris last week, you'd have to think so.

Re: Jackson Trengove

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.

Re: Jackson Trengove

Whats his injury history ? Just curious .
Does he have any and has he had any major ones ?

Re: Jackson Trengove

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:

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.

And from his Bio:

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.
