Richmond in hunt for Port Adelaide utility Jackson Trengove Steve Larkin
From: Herald Sun
June 23, 2011 PORT Adelaide utility Jackson Trengove is considering moving home to Victoria.
The emerging 20-year-old, out of contract at Port at season's end, is being chased by several Victorian clubs.
Richmond is believed to be the major suitor for Trengove, who this year became the youngest-ever member of Port's leadership group.
The 31-gamer returned to Melbourne when Port had the bye a fortnight ago and discussed his future with his manager and family.
"At this stage, it's not going to get decided until towards the end of the year," Trengove said yesterday.
"I'll sit down again with my manager towards the end of the year, and my family, and we'll work out that situation."
Trengove's reluctance to re-commit is troubling debt-ridden Port, which will be financially propped up by the AFL for the next three years.
The key-position player said he loved living in Adelaide, but acknowledged the lure of his family in Melbourne.
"They (family) do play a bit of a part, whether they're happy ... and it's fair to say most players would think about their family," he said.
Recruited by Port with pick 22 in the 2008 national draft, Trengove said elevation into the Power's leadership group had been an enormous benefit.
"It has been fantastic for my personal development," he said. "Obviously learning off (captain) Dom (Cassisi) and (vice-captain) Dean (Brogan), who are the elder statesmen in that group, has been terrific for me.
"We are developing as a group and learning each day."
