One can never ever have enough back up mids. To any who said pre-draft why get more - here is one answer.

    Stress fractures in the feet ate troublesome...

    Garland had them and overcame them IIRC.

    Shame but it should hopefully only effect his 2013 and not his career, and it won't negatively impact his speed either.

    Will slow down his pace even more.

    (Sigh)

    don't worry about JT, WYL.. he's the right stuff & he's full of it.

    remember Jonsey all those commenting on him, & worrying about is he good enough, is he quick enough, can he kick, etc.

    He's a player & so is Jack. high quality.

    Hopefully it's not too serious, as stress fractures in the foot can be troublesome to overcome properly. We need Trengove to be fit and firing, as he is a captain, but more importantly one of the few midfielders on our list with potential to be an A-grader.

    It's not ideal but It's also not the end of the world. Just over 3.5 months until round 1 so 6 weeks In a moon boot leaves him with enough time to get some decent training behind him.

    Damn. Managed properly, it should hopefully be no more than a minor setback. Will interrupt his preseason, but he's a determined young man who will do whatever it takes to recover properly.

    If managed properly it should not be too much of a problem. I had one at the age of 48 whilst in the middle of training for the 2000 Sydney marathon. I still managed to complete the marathon eight weeks after diagnosis. I still argue that it robbed me of the opportunity to set a new world record. I had to be content with 4 hours, 55 minutes, but I'm still running twelve years later with no further problems.

    Not great news but could have happened at a worse time I suppose. Best of luck JT I know your made of strong stuff

    The rest may fix up the OP that we have all diagnosed here .

    Anyway-he will ave time to do some puzzles .

    Why is it that I don't feel any great loss at this news.

    I am surprised by my reaction.

    Perhaps it is due to my suspicion that JT is an average player not the champion I hoped for.

    Am I alone ?

    There's nothing to show that he wouldn't have suffered this injury under a different training regime and anyway, when they are working this hard there are bound to be some setbacks. It's all for the long run.

    Or in this case a very short run!

    Yes, most of us don't like wearing the hair shirt, but if you feel the need to go for it, I have a crown of thorns going free as well

    As Satyricon said, yes. You should be feeling a big loss just for the fact he is one of our captains. His presence will be missed out on the field for the next 6 weeks, that's for sure.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
