I have admired the way he has carried himself through this injury and for that reason alone I hope he get's it right and can return to doing the thing he loves. Few would deserve it more.

Mitch Clark is looking prett bloody good off re-occurring foot injuries and a hammy for good measure.

I know it doesn't mean much, but just trying to point out the average punter has no idea about this sort of thing.

Since when has that ever stopped us commenting FD?

It's a very serious but by no means insurmountable injury and comeback that Jack must face.

He's got the right mentality, temperament and god-given talent to play football at a very high level - he's just gotta get that one little bone in his foot right.

In response to the OP, I believe Jack under Neeld was trying to mold himself into something of an inside midfielder. With a bit more physical development, experience and match hardness, he could carve himself out a very good career in the middle IMHO.

I can tell you what though. If he comes back and is fit, he can definitely have Bails/M.Jones spot on the field.

Hardly a ringing endorsement of his ability Barra.

Replacing VFL players does not take a lot of ability

He is only 23, 24 in September. Given we know he can play, if he can get back from injury he has an 8 year career ahead of him so there is upside worth persisting with if it looks promising.

We have kept much bigger duds on our list for much longer.... I wish him all the luck in the world but IMO I think he is 5% chance of making it.

Bloody oath we have had and still do but I don't consider him a spud. I'd like him to play with us not against us.

Very difficut to recover from that injury hope he does but stiil isn't ever going to be a star, limited by speed and decision making. Hope he has a good life good luck Jack!

the AFL is going to reduce the rotations over a few years, & this will suit endurance players like Jack t.

We where going to offload him to Richmond until he hurt himself?

How do we know he can play? Can you refresh my memory.

Funny, never saw anyone question his speed, or decision making, when he was fully fit in 2010/11

If his foot does come good I really hope he chooses to stay with us.

It would be perfectly understandable if he requested a change of scenary, particularly given that he was nearly traded to Richmond.

I don't think he has a choice. It's either stay with us or choose to go into the lottery that is the draft and hope to get picked up very late in the draft, I doubt that we will just give him away.

Was really struggling before he got injured, really lacked pace for an outside player. Already 2 seasons gone and if he is fully fit after that next year will be all about finding his feet again, so he is a very long way off getting a regular game again let alone making an impact.

I've just asked him for an update on Twitter, see if he answers , if not if I see him on Friday will ask him then

Cheers

Perhaps he and club thought a fresh start at another club was the best thing for him, he went for the medical, so he must have been willing to go, rather than being offloaded as you say, I have spoken to him previously about his, and is quite comfortable with the whole scenario. Main thing now is to get fit and see what happens, will try and speak to him tomorrow if he appears in the fresh air, hasn't tweeted, could have been advised not to and let Misson in his injury report update officially

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
