Past #14: Trent Dumont - delisted end '21 - 113 NM games/26 NM goals - 2019 NM VCapt - thanks Froggy

[Passmore]

Was a bit surprised to see he was delisted, but hopefully for you guys it opens up more opportunities for the Powell/Phillips/Thomas types.

Does Trent play his best footy in the middle or on the wing? Ideally for us it'd be the former.

Might be handy depth. Seems like a good guy.

Got to Port in the rookie draft. Best of luck to him

 

[Usayed Givashe]

Alligator blood… I’ll give him that.

Froggy was on SEN this morning:

Port Adelaide midfielder Trent Dumont (30/11/21)

How his interrupted pre-season ultimately contributed to his departure from North Melbourne, how he didn't agree with the role Roos coach David Noble had carved out for him, the position he hopes to play for Port Adelaide, the handful of names who will help him feel at home at Alberton, and more.

Honestly sounds like he had given up trying early in the piece, looking for a new club before halfway through the year.


Found the comments about not being allowed up inside 50 a bit weird. Somehow doubt that opposition clubs were overly concerned with him making his opponent accountable inside F50 when he averages a massive 3.7 goals.... a year.

 

[Luke72]

I can’t recall a player who has shown as much class in his exit. Sincerely wish him the best.

The 26-year-old twisted his right knee in a contest at training last week and has been unable to complete training since.

He had arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday to repair his meniscus and is expected to return to full training within a month.

That tweet says extended period, but it should only be a month.

Another injury was the last thing he needed, but this shouldn't be a career killer.

Good on Trent, good guy and always team first

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Will always have a soft spot for Trent. I wouldn't have minded keeping at North.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Should still be on our list. Genuinely good person and had leadership.

 

[hotchilli]

Hopefully he plays well in a Power loss this weekend.

 

[hellas_johnny]

lol getting contested ball now yet he was soft as butter with us.

No he wasn't. We played him primarily on the outside.

You could say plenty of things about Frog but he was never soft. When it was his turn to go he always went.

 

[tazaa]

He’s an inside mid
We had no room for him behind cunners Jed jy

Thought he may have cracked another Cabbie.. onya frog, did rate ya as a player. Good contribution

 

[roos_fanatic08]

I’d happily have him back as a mature age rookie much like Howe. He was a bloody good trainer and got very professional as he matured with us.

 

[Horizons_00]

Did he even play in the best 22 this year?

 

[hotchilli]

Didn't see any AFL action this year. Loved him at his time in North but reckon he's done at AFL level.

Averaged 22.1 disposals, 5.1 tackles, 4.2 marks in 18 SANFL matches.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

He deteriorated pretty rapidly in his final season with us. No longer near AFL level.
