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.

  • Quote

    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?

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
