What

Recommended Posts

This is actually what concerns me most in respect to a likely outcome resulting in a recovery and strengthened foot sufficient for AFL footy; it is that even with the best looking after and management its just seems one of those types of niggle that persists.

From my understanding of the type of injury it can be like when you break the scaphoid bone in your wrist. There is such little blood flow to the bone that it takes a really long time to heal. Also like the scaphoid injury it doesn't tend to show up on traditional scans and x-rays until the bone begins to calcify and by then it has been damaged for a while.

I was talking a mate of a mate as well who had a similar injury to Trenners that pain isn't always a side effect of the injury but loss of power in the leg can be a sign which would definitely explain a lot in Trenners case.

Just spoke to a physio who is treating Gazza's shoulder here on the Gold Coast. talking about Trenners. His frank assessment of the injury is that he's done. Especially due to the re aggravation it, according to him, shows that this particular Navicular injury is one that won't be able to heal.

Of course no one really knows, but an insightful comment from someone who does know a bit about it.

Perhaps why they're considering avoiding surgery, which I assume also means the non-surgical option would take longer - the waiting game.

The previous CEO must be so proud of his enormous achievements....

Yes, because Cameron Schwab is responsible for Jack Trengove's injury. FMD

He was responsible for a lot of negligent and poor overseeing in his time, but he is not responsible for this one.

I refuse to believe that Trengove went through all of 2012 - 2014 with a fractured/injured foot. It may excuse his 2014 absence, but not his very poor form for the 2 years prior. The blame for Trengove's 2012 & 2013 is the coaching group headed by MN.

Schwab bashing is absolutely justifiable, but let's keep it in the areas where he did screw us over. There are so many to choose from and no need to create false one's.

Did the physio mention how Gazza's recovery is going? Is he any doubt for round 1?

Didn't want to push for details as I know how guarded they must be about his progress. He did say the Medical director believed he could've tried playing after 3 weeks off and see how it went but the club left it up to Gazza. The physic suggested to Gazza that as this was his first dislocation after all these years there would no doubt be substantial damage. Gazza made the call to get the surgery done immediately.

The physio was in the rooms just after he did the shoulder. reckoned he's never seen a player in as much pain and he was making a hell of a racket.

and if he isn't, can the physio do something to ensure he is!!!

haha id already shown my hand as a MFC supporter - did tell him we wanted Prestia though. he reckoned Prestias got incredible agility and pace considering the muscle mass he's got. Really rates him. I told him about 35k melbourne supporters really rate him too. he asked me if hi old man ran some fruit markets down in melbourne. can anyone confirm that?

Yep, over at Footscray Market.

To endure more surgery and another 8 weeks in a cast indicates that Jack gives himself some chance of recovery.

May not look bright at this stage however I for one wish the young fella a full and speedy recovery.

Ripping young bloke who deserves a break.

yes and no

you can't go down without knowing you gave yourself every chance and opportunity.

Very last roll of the dice here I'm afraid. He''ll need boxcars and I don't like his chances....just saying !!

Good luck to the lad though. He wont die wondering and he deserves kudos for that.

dam dam dam why does a good guy such as Jack desrve this? Why cant other people like martin or why cant scully get a serious injury.

well at least he knows the club are supporting him and we need to see him out on the field so he can show us what jack trengove the number 2 pick can do.

Pretty much his last chance. Reading the AFL.com.au article it says that 95% of these injuries have no troubles with the screw, but of course that's not the case with Trenners.

Making the call now gives him an outside out of playing a bit in 2015, but realistically we won't see him until 2016.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
