Jack Trengove out for year with navicular fracture

Recommended Posts

What are we training on concrete or something?

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

FMD.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
