In a best on ground performance, the 18-year-old gathered a career-high 24 disposals, including six marks, four tackles and two goals to lead the Demons to a 50-point victory.
Trengove has played all five matches this season after making his debut against Hawthorn in round one. He has averaged 20 possessions and is ranked sixth overall at the club for both disposals and tackles.
Originally from Kybybolite Football Club in South Australia, Trengove was selected by Melbourne with pick two in the 2009 NAB AFL Draft after a standout year where he was named All-Australian at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships and South Australia’s most valuable player.
Trengove is Melbourne’s first Rising Star nominee for 2010 and the club's sixth nominee since the 2008 season.
