He, like 43,368 other people at AAMI Stadium, was shocked when Angus Monfries' shot on goal late in the last quarter, which was headed for the point post, miraculously bounced sideways and through for a goal which put Port back within two points.
"When that one bounced it was a fair leg-break. I think a couple of Aussies might not mind that in the cricket tonight," Trengove said with a smile.
"It was just one of those things that bounced the right way and it was meant to happen."
The same could be said about the Power's campaign to qualify for the finals. They have become the comeback kings in 2013, most notably with their round-five win against West Coast from a 40-point deficit, and are now two games clear of Carlton inside the top eight with just four games to play.
Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley said Sunday's Showdown win was one of their best of the season.
"We've had Collingwood, we've had Sydney, we've had West Coast, we had the first Showdown so we've had some incredible performances and today was just another one of them." Hinkley said.
"Yes, we're proud of the boys to now win our fifth by a small margin, so that's character-building; that's what they've got."
While the Power are realistically just one win away from playing finals, Hinkley refused to acknowledge a return to September was almost a reality.
"I looked at the draw before I came in here. It is Geelong at Geelong (next week)," Hinkley said.
"There [are] still four games to go, there's still a long way to go.
"They taught us a lot last time we played them earlier in the season and hopefully we can learn a little bit from that, learn more from today and grow from that and go down there and give them a real challenge."
One sour note from the game for the Power was Paul Stewart, who is out for the season with a broken wrist after falling awkwardly in a Jared Petrenko tackle.
