Jack Trengove could be traded to Richmond from Melbourne

FORMER Melbourne captain Jack Trengove could be headed to Richmond.

The Demons are considering swapping the midfielder and selection No. 23 for the Tigers’ pick 12.

Trengove, 23, is reluctant to shift to the Tigers but would not block the trade.

It is understood Trengove, the No.2 pick in the 2009 draft, has completed a medical check with Richmond and toured the Punt Rd facilities.

Trengove has suffered repeated foot injuries and has failed to reach the heights of his first season.

He was made the youngest captain in the game’s history under ex-coach Mark Neeld but stepped down after poor form and injury last year.

His departure would mean Melbourne would have farewelled Tom Scully and Trengove, its first two picks from the 2009 national draft, a season in which it was later penalised over tanking allegations.

Trengove has played 81 games including only two last season.

Would be a good deal as he's a serious footballing prospect 23 still got his best ahead

Ideally get back a top 15 pick via a trade

tbh I dont rate him much thus far - looks very pedestrian but that could be bc he's been injured and lacking in conditioning.

He's reluctant to make the move also..

This must be what Dan Richardson apparently hinted about at some function today.

Apparently Dan Richardson said at a luncheon today that although the plan was to go to the draft, something has changed in the last 12 hours and we might be hearing some good news on Monday. Hmmmm

Heh...who's singing our song now Melbourne flogs?

But seriously...don't reckon he's worth pick 12 these days....damaged goods and really not all that special anyway....

Pick 12 is overs for a bloke coming back from a nasty foot injury

Mostly likey means it will happen

Phwoooaaarrr. Keen.

Agree that he wouldn't be worth exactly pick 12 but don't think you could get him cheaper than a late first round, which we don't have. Wonder how much permanent damage Melbourne have caused on his development? Huge potential but also big chance to be a massive bust. 23 isn't the greatest place to start in the draft but maybe we can work our back into late first round.

what type of foot injuries has he had?

[torch]

Interesting ...

Question is how bad his foot injuries are?

Pick 12 ... very high and this could be a massive mistake or masterstroke?

Actually Huddo said on SEN last night that tigers were trying to get a late first rounder somehow, think we know why now

[dwaino]

what type of foot injuries has he had?

Decapitation. Now has two club feet but still quicker than Thomas.

[WilliamPowell]

what type of foot injuries has he had?

Navicular bone

Some players recover from it (eg Richo) while for others (eg Egan who used to play for Geelong) it ends their career
