Lotta love for Jack, wish him all the best - he's still young and time is on his side.

Like Morabito at Fremantle, Jack deserves some luck with his body. Hopefully the club and the fans rally around Trengove in a similar fashion and we see him grace the G again someday.

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.

It's those bl**dy screws again!! First Mitch now Jack and another problem with foot screws. Are we using the wrong thread?

 

meanwhile a butterfly in japan flaps its wings in unison but oblivious to bbo's proselytising.....

People quickly forget the vows they make when watching multiple10 goal defeats in the middle of winter.

I thought we were going to be ruthless.

We certainly have been putrid WYL. But isn't it largely emotion that keeps poor bas tards like you and me paying our memberships every year and going along to watch another flogging at Darklands?

Administrations and players are taking emotion out of the game but if we supporters dispose of it - what is left?

Spot on!!

 

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.

You don't think Schwab wanted his number 2 draft pick Captain played & played & played after $cully was erased?

For 2 years he couldn't run.

2 years.

Honestly, if you believe Schwab picked the team you'll believe literally anything. As has already been said, there's enough genuine stuff for us to blame Schwab for without resorting to complete and utter fiction.


Schwab had nothing to do with Trengove's injury. And I'm pretty sure he had nothing to do with him becoming captain either; that was a Mark Neeld and coaching staff decision driven by input from the playing list who rated Trengove a natural leader.

Regardless, it wasn't just his 2014 that was impacted. 2012 and 2013 were well down on his output from previous years. It was sometime in 2012 that he lost his zip, and lost the penetration in his kicking.

2011 he averaged 20.7 disposals, 1.3 scoring shots and 5.3 tackles.

This dropped in 2012 to 17.7 disposals 0.8 scoring shots and 4.5 tackles.

That's a 15% decrease in output.

This injury has affected him for a while. Not sure he will make it back but if he can help play another 7-9 years. He only just turned 23.

It is now looking likely that Jack could miss the entire 2015 season even if the operation is a success.

One way or another, either by LTI or going onto the rookie list, it appears that the Jetta upgrade will come through Jack's spot on the list.

It will take pressure off Jack while he recovers and he can still receive his full contract payment.

By going onto the Rookie list he also allows the club to take another player.

I don't buy the bit about loyalty, as keeping him, paying him and looking after him, while he recovers without extra pressure to play, is the repayment for his loyalty.

Hopefully he returns to us playing good footy in the future, but a professional club IMO, would adopt my strategy.

No i see it merely as the action of a man who can see his little empire coming down.

Trengove was the "boy" we tanked for. The basis for the Red & Blueprint

The new captain. The new face.

It is a disgrace that he played with that injury for 2 years

If you think it is fiction so be it.

I agree that it sucks that he seems to have played injured. It's just the absurd leap from that to blaming Schwab that I challenge.

I'm not sure why I'm persisting with this discussion to be honest. I'm clearly a very slow learner.

Yep! The Club is screwed...!

we had a CEO who chased Energy Watch as a sponsor FGS!!

The company i could not find a head office for.

Had a P. O. Box for an address.

Irrationality was rife at this time

Yep, Energy Watch was a disaster, and one Schwab should be held accountable for. Still not seeing the link to Trengove's foot.

Can we just have a thread somewhere ( another universe works for me ) .."Schwab broke everything ". He certainly has much to account but do we need to derail every thread... just saying !!

Also... When a player is forced to play with a debilitating injury for two years, due to mismanagement and substandard medical checks and rehabilitation... are we really surprised that he's re injured his foot?

He'll play AFL again, but not for a few years yet... His best is worth the wait, whether our club can wait... Who knows? He might turn out to be another gem we have stored for the Hawks...

Substandard medical checks?

Source?

The proof is in the pudding.

We all ranted and raved about his lost pace for two years and thought it was a groin.

Remember when we used some special cream on his foot?

Dave Misson isn't as brilliant as I at first thought.

Maybe you don't understand* that, like its counterpart the scaphoid in the wrist, the navicular injury can be impossible to diagnose for a very long time. It is not (necessarily) a matter of mismanagement and substandard medical checks as you put it - it can be just a matter of time before it declares itself.

*IF you are an orthopedic surgeon specializing in disorders of the foot then I will apologise


Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Clark have the same aggravation with the pins?

Perhaps he is also done, only time will tell, but he passed medical tests at 2 clubs.

Veteran Saint Adam Schneider to take on rookie role

St Kilda have committeed to rookieing Schnieder. If they take him with their first pick that would reduce any risk they'll take Trengove if we plan on doing the same. Assuming though they'll take him with their last love rookie pick, however it probably reduces the number of speculative places they have available for JT.

No ones taking Trenners...relax.

I am not asking you to

It is my opinion that CS had fingers in way too many pies...Team selection in 2012 was one i think he influenced.

You have your views.

No ones taking Trenners...relax.

Especially with the contract that would go along with his rookie selection and the distinct possibility of no games played.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
