“It’s a bit scary”: Trbojevic makes career call amid retirement talks

Fans have called for him to hang up the boots in 2026.

“Obviously, like the first week or whatever, I was not the best..."
"Obviously the club's just looking after me,”
“Obviously it's not ideal, it's a bit scary,”

Jake's a smart guy with a smart family around him who will help him make the best decision taking into account facts that are, frankly.... obvious!
And everyone keeps saying 3 in a year, are they counting the one last September v Chooks. It looked bad enough to me, at the time I was surprised that one wasn't a Cat 1

So you think he did that on his own accord, not under any instructions. Mestrov seems to be the yes man that Penn can finally work with. I don't dislike the guy, just isn't the messiah we had hoped for. And may I add, no one ever will be whilst Penn is pulling all the strings.

I see your point but I disagree that Mestrov is simply Penn's "yes man".

I very much doubt Mestrov is a “ yes man” in any way but he would be curtailed by the funding that Mr Fluffy provides and that would transcend right across his responsibilities, recruitment , football department, staffing.

He would be allowed to spend only what the cap provides & the very small amount of 3rd party we get for the Chaser , Turbo , Jurbo.

His hands would be tied and if that equates as being a “ yes man “ well I guess he is that
