Bugger, shocking news for him. It's been said many times but he really is a good person and has strong character.

I wish him all the best in recovery, and I look forward to seeing him back on track in 2015.

    Didn't he have issues with his foot last year?

    Good luck Trenners I reckon he will come back and show a lot of detractors just what he can do. He was playing very good football in his first year.

    Josh Mahoney interviewed on SEN just now, stated that Jack had complained about not being able to 'push/take off' earlier in the year, and scans then showed

    nothing. Worsened pain after this week and new scan confirmed it. Good luck in recovery Trenners...

    Also, mentioned that Garland would play Casey seniors this week, and Hogan in 2-3 weeks would play most likely at Casey..

    This should put a few Trenners knockers at ease. A break from footy may do him good. Dees 2015 here we come!

    A blessing in disguise - Jetta has been our most consist performer in the 2nd all year and if Terlich doesn't come up he would be a certain starter for mine.

    You never flirt with form and when a player is up and about you must play him.

    Sad news for Jack - but if ever I player had stagnated and needed an extended break it was him. 6- 7 months of speed training might just be the ticket

    Bugger. Explains a bit though. This bloke deserves a bloody good run of luck from 2015 onwards to make up for what he's had to put up with.

    This is bad luck for Jack. For all/most of you who see it as an explanation for his form/speed, it isn't. He wouldn't have been playing with this. It presented on Sunday. He does clearly have midfoot issues however. Just a phase hopefully, and he comes back better than ever.

    Couldn't be bothered digging it up but I said in another thread that in a weird way, the best outcome would be that something like this would be the case.

    I can tell you first hand that these sort of injuries can greatly affect your speed, having suffered similar injuries myself and found myself unable to push off and accelerate, meaning I lost all of my acceleration and speed. And we can only assume he has been suffering from it for a while given the Dank text.

    All in all, I am reasonably comfortable with this. Let this thing heal and be back for the first day of pre season 2015 ready to become the player we all know he can.

    This is not a curse its a blessing - a player who was horribly out of form and confidence gets to have a break and find his love and zest for football again. A great opportunity to work on his obvious deficiencies ( speed) and the added hunger and now possible upgrade for players on the rookie list is a bonus !!

    Any orthopedic surgeons or sports med docs here? I presume that this has a better prognosis that the Lisfranc injury, but as I understand it it is still no certainty?

    What bloody rotten luck for the guy, but as some have said maybe he will be able to reset and come our firing and enthused for 2015.

    Anyone who says the Norm Smith curse is a myth - think again.

    He has a crack in his navicular, full brown stress fracture, it's a four month injury i would say, and given his history i would consider Trenners on ice until day one of 2015 pre season if he is still with the demons at that stage.

    Much better than Lisfranc. The only potential complication is avascular necrosis (damage to the blood supply to the navicular, resulting in death of the bone, and end of career) of the navicular. Very unlikely. Ideally, this solves any midfoot power transfer problems JT has been having, which he has been quoting according to Josh Mahoney. I don't like the sound of midfoot weakness without pain, but we'll know if it's uncomplicated after the surgeon goes in on Friday.

    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.

    Agreed Robbie57.

    Wednesday.

    It has been perplexing to see Jack playing excellent footy in that NAB cup game against Richmond then see his form tail away quickly.

    Relief in a way to see that he probably struggled due to injury rather than not being good enough.

  • Quote

    Terrible luck for Jack, but we can hope to see him back in 2015 to show how good he really is.

    Meanwhile, Nev Jetta has been hammering on a closed door, and now he'll certainly be elevated. He's playing for his career this year, and now he'll get a decent chance.

    do we owe the foot specialists a lifetime guarantee of supplying them customers.?

    do they charge bulk?

    Bloody ripping kid and I think this will, in years to come, be looked at as a blessing in disguise.

    Well. Bugger.

    Still, like a few others have said, better to have a clearly defined issue to overcome than a general malaise that never feels like it will end.

    Trengove gets a season to get his head right, get hungry for 2015, and then be the player we saw he could be in his early seasons.

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
