That will do Trent, that will do.

 

[Chrizzt]

Only 59 games for Port seems odd - felt like he should have been around the 100 mark given how long he's been around. Still, was bloody reliable for us when on the park the last 3-4 years.

Only played 2 games in his first 2 years here. He was the scapegoat for that debacle against Essendon and Hinkley made him pay for it before it was apparent we had f'all tall defenders.

Hinkey massively underrated him.

Yeah I had it my head that he would of been up around 80/90 games

 

[raptalia]

Has Trent actually made an official announcement on his future yet? Shades of Mark Twain about the conjecture.

If it does eventuate thanks for the efforts Trent we wish you well.

I reckon you could mount an argument that 2nds games should count towards the father/son tally...

 

[SparklingAle69]

Apparently called time on his career.

McKenzie to holster the cannon

Port Adelaide Trent McKenzie has called time on his AFL career after 165 games at the highest level.

[Incarnate]

More than a handy ‘retooled’ backman. Always strong overhead. Thanks for your service.

 

[shewho]

Really good player. I wish we could have seen him off half back or a wing this year instead of our last memory seeing him banged up playing key back on forwards twice his size.

He did an amazing job given we played him out of position. Will be fondly remembered.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Always punched above his weight and did remarkably well against bigger opponents. So disciplined and with steely resolve.

One of the best with the flight of the ball spoils we've had.

Well done Trent, took your second chance and squeezed for all it was worth.

 

[Jojay]

Loved Trent as a player. A cool head and rarely beaten for his size and gave the club great service. A shame he was cruelled by injury in the end.

 

[TeeKray]

Outstanding kick of the footy, great hands, strong and brave. Had all the tools to be a top liner but his body never really gave him a good run at it. Still reckon he could've been All Australian in 2020, he was at that sort of level.

 

[Lefti93]

Go well Trent lad. Nothing but respect for the way you went about your footy. Saved this clubs lack of development and list management of key defenders for a few seasons.

 

[elbarton]

Great, now I’m weeping in Fantastic Furniture Gepps Cross

 

[Enviable Tradition]

A brave club man who made the most of his second chance. He's the kind of player you keep as a development coach.

Not a high first rounder who got it given to him on a platter.

His play as an undersized fullback in 2020 and 2021 was some of the best KPD play we've had at the Club, ever. He was an absolute star for those two seasons. So reliable tracking the ball in the air and he set things up so nicely when he was in possession of the footy.

It's a shame his body let him down for a large chunk of his career, but no one can deny his perseverance ensured he got the absolute most out of himself.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Nothing but respect for that guy.

Pakistan Army has confirmed there'll be a 21 gun salute at dawn tomorrow...



P.S. McKenzie was a gun, goddamn injuries.
P.P.S. Shout-out to Portmanteau, wherever you are, for christening Trent and coming up with/championing the most awful nickname this board has ever seen lmao

 

[Schulzenfest]

Random DFA signing who outlasted Rockliff, Watts and Motlop from the summer of George. Thanks for your service Superboat.

Tonight, as the Dolmio Grin ascends to a higher place, we, his adoring fans, wear the Dolmio Frown.

Thank you for your service Trent.
