A positive in gloom for Trengove @melbournefc Steve Johnson failed a medical blocking his move to Collingwood 06 - 3 premierships later...

different injury. Knees seem to come good a lot more often than navicular problems.

On days like today suppose you claw at whatever hope is around.

 

If his foot can't recover during off season-maintenace , how is it gunna be when he ramps up into preseason again? Sad but he is up against it for the longer term. A huge long term doubt now!

Nothing like the Egan situaation

Egan did his late in the season and he tried to come back for the grand final and totally stuffed it. JT has had a normal recovery and it just hasn't worked.

I was referring to both having recurring complications to the injury if which ended Egan career and I fear could do the same to Jack.

Fairly obvious Jack did not try to get back for a grand final.

You do indeed and I hope for his sake he goes on to be a legend at the club.

looks like the 08-09 drafts are going kill us

thanks Schwab, BP

Its lost us a generation

Shame Shame Shame

P.s , and i put money up for that rubbish

lets not forget the 2011 draft and to a lesser extent but still pretty bad the 2010 draft


I would love to lay some blame on Richmond, but you can't blame them for wanting to put him through his paces. They needed to be 100% certain.

If anything, it is the club that saw fit to let him do a medical. They took on the risk.

I'm not blaming anyone - as I said we don't know what really happened. It could be he was pushed too hard compared to where he was up to, or he pushed himself too hard, or it was about to happen regardless or that Richmond simply did a scan which revealed the problem without doing anything physical.

Let's just hope he does finally recover and is part of our future success.

Calling it now - jack will never play again and we will walk away from the trade period with jeff garlett and lumumba only.

So after 12 months on the sidelines he is no nearer to a return

So maybe the club should reexamine the treatment strategy or write him off and move on. Surely a part of the list management involves a risk assessment of all players who have injuries
 

Tough decision for the club to make now. Jack will be lucky to play at all next year now by the time this heals, if it does at all.

Do we bite the bullet and open up another spot on the list by delisting Jack now and bring him back on as a rookie and continue to treat his injury and stick by him?

not a bad idea this


rumours saying watts is up for trade but i would keep him off limits

if he is on he long term injury spot then we can elevate a rookie anyway. Doing that way means we can see what all the rookies are like and elevate the one we like best or need the most as opposed to picking one now and being stuck with that choice.

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.

He's a great and determined kid.

Really feel for him. The last player who deserved it.

No biggy, would've shifted us up 10 or so spots in the draft order.

From 10-25 this draft is fairly even.

We get to keep Trengove and give him another shot at playing, feel good story.

I reckon he'll bounce back.

Your optimism has no place here.


Trenners showed complete loyalty to our club during the tough times, now it's our turn to support him in every possible way. I'm glad the trade didn't happen, it didn't feel right.

I wish it was Watts Richmond were inquiring about and not Trengove.

well, it's actually only been six months on the sidelines.

he had a couple of games in the vfl before it was diagnosed, i seem to remember.

well said Trenners

I'm sure the club will do its duty in providing JT the best medical outcome, and whilst I don't want to pre-empt further diagnostics, the club would be crazy to keep him on the list, rookie or otherwise. It's become unlikely his foot will recover to AFL standard now, and if it does, it's a very very long and uncertain road back. A horrible situation, but the way footy is, there's no room for keeping players on as an act of pure good will with no value to be gained on game day.


I'm happy to wait a year for him to come good if we have to. Maybe, with a more cautious approach, that will be what it takes.

Really looking forward to seeing him play in the red and blue again. Glad the deal didn't go through.

Except Johnson's problem was his ankles, no?

Not only is JT fighting for his career, he will be doing it at a club that openly tried to trade him.

He won't be a FA next year as it stands but I think the relationship between club and player has been changed irrevocably now.

I am not one to get overly despondent but even if he recovers, I don't think we will see the following renaissance.

I'm just being pragmatic.

I'd like to think the club has done its job properly and its just bad luck. But I have a nagging doubt....

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
