Tigers make surprise bid for Jack Trengove Michael Gleeson and Emma Quayle

October 10, 2014 - 9:15PM Former Melbourne captain Jack Trengove could be moving to Richmond as part of a surprising exchange after an audacious bid by Richmond and Adelaide.
The Demons and Tigers are considering a trade whereby Trengove and the Demons' pick 23 would be traded to Richmond for its first-round selection, pick 12. That deal would mean the Demons would have picks two, three and 12 in the national draft and position them to trade more confidently one of their two early picks.
Complicating the picture, Adelaide is interested in the South Australian Trengove, but it is understood he would rather remain in Melbourne.
Trengove arrived at the club with Tom Scully as the first two picks in the 2009 draft. Scully is long gone to the Giants and Trengove, at 23, is confronting a move he did not solicit.
"We said after our last game to our playing list that we would look at all avenues to improve our list," Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney said in a statement. "Richmond came to us with a potential deal, Jack is aware of this and all parties will now take some time to consider our options."

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.
