As someone used to say on a 1960s TV comedy (was it ?'Laugh In') - "very interesting, but not very funny."

Interesting thinking what could have been with better management at all levels in the club

He will be having his rehab, and hopefully return to the game at a very very different club

That would be Arte Johnson as the German soldier who would regularly say on Laugh In " Verrrrry interesting, but stupid" to some comment someone had made on the show. What a good show that was !!!!

I was talking to a close family member of Jack's yesterday. She told me that he is fighting fit, has put his heart and soul into rehab and whilst he might be ready to come back before the season's end

Go Trenners

You are a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

I'm 58 OD. I've still got a bit of life in me yet. Plus I have to see the dees win a flag so three more years ought to be enough for that. ( and Trengove starring in that game)

You are going to need more than three PD

But you have another 15 with luck so that should do it.

However I remember thinking that in the seventies!!!

Yeah, if it wasn't for "Laugh-In" we would never have got Goldie Hawn. :unsure:

Yes Pineapple I used to think the same when I was 58 Now I am having serious doubts as to whether I will ever see a demon premiership. That's what supporting this club does to you

But what the hell, what else am I going to do but be patient and see what happens

Do you think he will ever rate against our babies?

Petracca, Brayshaw, vandenBerg, Stretch, Bullen, Kent,Tyson, JKH. Salem, Hogan.

Plus the older guns we have added, Cross, Lumumba, Vince, Garlett

The improved real oldies Jetta,McDonald, Garland, Dunn, Watts, Gawn, N. Jones.

I have probably overlooked a few but with that list. No place for Trenners I am afraid.

Cross is a great example of what we want at the Dees, however i don't see him in our best next year bar injuries

FB - Jetta, McDonald, Dunn

CHB - Lumumba, Garland, Frost

C - Watts, *Vince / Trengrove, Salem

CHF - Kent , **Dawes , Howe

FF - Garlett, Hogan, Petracca

RUCK - Gawn, Jones , Brayshaw

INT - Toumpas, Vandenberg, Tyson, Viney

* Vince and Trengrove will provide the same service (goal kicking tagger)

** Dawes' position in the team as the sole KP at CHF needs attention

The true fact is that nobody, not even you, knows how things will turn out for JT

he will not have just sat out two years going fishing or watching movies.

He was a dedicated footballer, and has been mentioned our new professional club structure will have him doing lots of non physical tasks to help the club and to help him learn, as was done with Jesse.

If physically able he may well return a far more rounded and competent player and potential leader than he was at his previous peak.

See above. Agree totally.

I physically able he will be returning to a completely different club than the one at which he last played.

Any coincidence that he was carrying a foot injury 2012-13? Any possibility that this and not his general limitations held him back?

As I said at the start, nobody knows - what he needs is a hell of a lot of support and encouragement from true demon fans, not speculation as to how fast he will run or whether the game has passed him by. His injury and his rehabilitation has been handled very well by this new club.

great post mono

how do they fix/increase the blood supply to that area of the foot? to that bone?

Jack has his scans today.

Would love to see him in the red and blue again.

He would relish playing again especially with so many other good players around him.

I think the results come back in a few days.

Keeping fingers and toes crossed that the news is all good, for Jack.

For once I will watch Dave Missons injury report with keen interest...

Awesome news!

Great to see that Jack and Christian have become such good buddies.

Similar to the man-love between Nat and Gus.

The two young guys could not have better role-models!

Good to hear he is on track. Hopefully he can get fit and become something close to what we hoped years ago. His first two years were outstanding and if he returns to his top form he is well within our best 22 running through the midfield and resting up forward with his strong overhead marking.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
