    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

Jack Trengove re-injures his navicular (2014) - trade deal off

"Jack then gradually increased his loading which included a period of time on the de-load treadmill before two weeks of running outside," Mahoney said.

"Unfortunately, Jack experienced some pain in the associated areas around his navicular whilst running. This was considered normal after not running for six months, however further scans on Monday have unfortunately shown further damage to his navicular.

Not to be a smartass but that sounds like the medical team severely underestimated the stage he was at in recovery for this to have happened.

Amazing how Daniel Cross can break his leg and return to the game within the one season, and now Trenners will be out for likely two whole seasons, if not the rest of his career.

Whichever way you spin this one it is a terrible look for the club.

Really disappointed for Jack.

I hope you weren't one of the one's talking about loyalty and all. Keep him on the list and give him the best chance at a career. He's more than earned that.

Just as a matter of interest Bob, what's the difference between:-

(a) keeping an injured player on your senior list and then putting him on your long term injury list and

(b) delisting the player and picking him up as a rookie?

Would there be advantages either way for a club or a player eg room in salary cap etc. (I assume the player gets paid either way).

Wouldn't you have to pay out his final year of the contract (which would be considerably more than a rookie contract spot) then pay him the rookie contract amount? Also, Saints would be able to jump in at pick 1 if they were interested.

Don't think so - if I remember rightly, when we delisted Meesen and Newton when they were contracted, we picked them up on the rookie list without the payout. The Saints taking him would presumably mean they'll also take on his contract, which I can't imagine them doing given the condition he is in.

I don't believe in the rookie list so I prefer he stay on the primary list.

He has called for people to back him, not pity him.

The club that is stuck with him no matter what in 2015 should do just that.

The benefits of not delisting him are not immediate and/or obvious but are plentiful.

Nasher funny you mention Meesen. He had a similar foot problem that did his career in with us just as he put a string of solid games together. If I remember correctly he got a run at first ruck because Jamar had a crook foot as well and some time later Garland had foot stress problems! And we all know of Mitch's lisfranc problem. What is going on down there at AAMI? The curse?

If i'm a realist ...i'd say Trenners is cooked

if im an optimist .... id say he he'll give it a crack ( npi )

if i'm a pessimist......flowers can be sent.....

All we are left now is a remote chance that this is the proverbial blessing in disguise. Fate deals all the cards. Let Jack rest and get well, go north and get some sun and sand. Forget about him for six months and he'll comes back to kick arse.

With his broken foot.

So curious about what responsibility Dave Misson takes for these feet issues? M Clark x 2. Trengove x 3, Garland, Grimes, Jamar to name a few have all had issues in recent years. No coincidence surely?

Blame Bohdan

Good evening Troll

A navicular problem is hardly a problem that Misson can be held accountable for....so take a hike lightweight

I wanted him to stay but not like this. We have been royally effed by some recent injuries to players who had the ability to take our club up the ladder. Really gutted for Trenners.

I hope he's able to come back from this, but it feels like this is an injury injury you either get right the first time or never at all.

I'm usually an optimist but I feel really sorry for Jack (even if he doesn't want me to!).

Would be amazed if he plays another afl game for us, bone has broken up around the screws.

Well that sounds like an unnatural occurrence. How the hell does that happen?

We are [censored].

Poor Jack, imagine how gutted he must feel. His sister is a marathon runner with perfect feet. Rubbish luck in the gene pool!

No idea but can only assume from winding up the training levels. It was stated he was feeling soreness as he started to put more intensity into his training recently.

Do you honestly not think that Trengove actually injured it in overstrenuous testing during his medical?

I do.

I simply can't see the club putting the trade together, actively promoting it like it has gone through, and then being blindsided by an existing injury that presumably he was keeping to himself, or that they ignored.

He had the scans first.

I admire the kids spirit. I acknowledge his desire to play for the Dees.

I think Jack is a realist. This is a grieving process in effect. Good luck mate. Athe list to play another games he alludes, he's luckier than many.

Be surprised if he makes the list to play another game

Really. They didn't train him at all?

Interesting.

We must have known it was line ball in that case.

Or not.

Perhaps - just putting this out there, radical ideal I know - just perhaps, there was no conspiracy.

But nah, probably too obvious.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
