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.

Posted

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 ?

We ran him into the ground. Nice work fitness guys.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
