Knobel prize for coast clubs
Gold Coast Bulletin
14 Aug 07

WELL-TRAVELLED ruckman Trent Knobel is returning home to the Gold Coast.

The 27-year-old, who has had stints with Brisbane, St Kilda and Richmond, confirmed this week that he has bought a house at Ashmore and is keen to play in the AFLQ next year.

Although there are whispers that he has already decided on a club, Knobel was non-committal when we contacted him. But he did reveal he has spoken to all three Coast clubs in AFLQ Division 1.

The whispers suggest Knobel will not be at Broadbeach, where he played for a season in 1998 after moving over from the Surfers Paradise under-18s. At 202cm, Knobel would be a handy pick-up, provided he can overcome leg injuries that have hampered him for the past two seasons.

In 2006 Knobel managed five games in the VFL and this year has not played at all after two ankle operations.

Knobel has played 75 matches at AFL level.

Knobel to call it quits
17 August 2007   Herald Sun
Mark Stevens

THE AFL career of injury-stricken Richmond ruckman Trent Knobel appears over.

It is understood Knobel will return to the Gold Coast at the end of the season.

Knobel has not played a senior game this year after being hobbled by on-going ankle problems.

Although he is still attempting to return in the next fortnight, reports from the Gold Coast suggest he is planning for a future beyond AFL.

The Gold Coast Bulletin this week reported that Knobel had bought a home on the Gold Coast and was weighing up offers from local clubs.

Richmond officials last night declined to comment on the speculation.

Knobel, 27, was recruited by the Tigers with the No.1 pick in the 2005 pre-season draft.

But after playing 18 games in 2005, he managed only three in 2006 after being affected by ankle problems.

Adam Pattison has emerged as a genuine ruck option this year, but Knobel is a valuable backup ruckman.

The Tigers' big men have been cursed this year, with Troy Simmonds suffering an ankle injury and then a blood clot in his lung.

A handy tap ruckman, the 204cm Knobel also played 38 games at St Kilda and 13 with the Brisbane Lions.

Originally from the Gold Coast, he has reportedly spoken to all three local clubs in the AFL Queensland division one competition.

Knobel's comments from the press confernce via Sportal:

Quote
"I'm very disappointed that it's been cut short with the ankle injury and it's been a very frustrating 18 months but in saying that I'm looking forward to the next chapter in my life and I'm thankful to the Richmond Football Club for throwing me a lifeline when they did," Knobel said.
