Jack Trengove out for year with navicular fracture

Featured Replies

 

Hm ...... wonder if he's been trying to play with it.

 

What are we training on concrete or something?

Or could it have been the extra weight on the shoulders?

FMD.

Hope he makes a full recovery and has a special chip inserted into his foot which increases his speed tenfold, like the roadrunner.


This is a real shame, hopefully the year off will help him get completely over it and find the little bit of pace that made him a more complete player when he first came onto the scene

 

Might explain a bit.

Sad to hear.

I think he'll come back from this ok though.

So do I.

If anyone deserves a bit of good luck, he does.

I am very sorry for jack.

He's committed himself to us, and done his best in very tough circumstances.

He was a victim of a very poor decision to appoint him co-captain, but tried his heart out.

I wonder if this injury has taken a long time to declare itself, or be diagnosed. So many people have potted him for his running ability, and it's possible that this injury has slowed him down over the last year or two.

Perhaps it's related to the foot injury that required Danks's controversial cream.

Meanwhile it must have been distracting having the possibility of an ASADA interrogation hanging over his head for so long.....though I think he's been exonerated officially.

I wish him all the best for a complete recovery. He's a very impressive young man.


When's he out of contract just out of interest? The end of next year?

Sad news indeed and like Machsy I wonder if it has anything to do with this speed and acceleration issue we've all noticed over the past couple of seasons.

If it did it would have surely been picked up a lot earlier. If there was a crack or a fracture in the bone and it wasn't picked up for two years, there would have to be some serious questions asked.

I'm sorry to hear this news...here's hoping for a full and speedy recovery (and hopefully some extra zip!)

On the other hand, one door closes and another opens....maybe this is the little bit of luck that Nev Jetta needs to re-ignite his career...good luck to him.


Well it may explain a few things. I just hope he gets it right and comes back better next season. A year ago it would have been a disaster but with Cross, Tyson and Vince coming over at least we can cover him.

They should just rub some cream on it.

All jokes aside this is terrible news, in a way I hope this explains his recent struggles and that he can make a full recovery for 2015.

In all seriousness wasn't that the text that was sent?

Strangely I think its the best thing for him.

Can go away and forget about footy for a while and come back fresh and fit with the past well behind him.

Great bloke who put in hard for the club.

Maybe he and Mitch could go surfing, have a look at the real world. Could be good for both of them. Good luck Jack.


Soory for Jack but realisticaly no big loss at the moment hope he rcovers and gets back to his best but I fear it may have passed him Time will tell

Poor bloke. Already having a hard enough time with form, last years injuries and the whole captaincy thing.

As a few others have already said I wonder if this is something he has been dealing with for a while, could explain a lot?

Lets hope he can now spend the time and get him self right and hopefully get back to becoming the player we all hoped we would be.

This may actually help take a lot of the pressure of expectation off him providing we are all patient with his recovery. Could come back better then ever... Here's hoping

I had the pleasure of having a long chat to Jack in Darwin 2 years ago. He was very well spoken and forthright - a most impressive young man. He seems very determined and of strong character. I have no doubt he will bounce back.

 

Anyone whose met him will attest to him being a ripping fella who deserves better luck than the run he has had.

Hopefully this is for the best and he comes back as that kid that excited everyone in his first year.

Here's hoping that this is a blessing in disguise, in that it allows him to get himself 100% fit and show what he's capable of.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
