Well done Jacky boy. Always been a big fan and wish you nothing but the best in the road to recovery.

Hopefully he can dismiss the last couple years and return to the form he showed in his second year when he was really starting to look the goods.

That said......

The Lever kid looks good as well

I really see him as the natural replacement for Daniel Cross, but with better skills. I'd give Crossy one or two more years and then Trenners will take his place (hopefully).

Fine to be running and all, but unless he can recapture most of his lost speed, he wont remain on the list for long I wouldnt think.

Good luck Trenners, and well done Maxy and Jack. Great team building stuff.

Of course, but I think that most posters here today just want to enjoy the positives.

Have to be completely honest.

I will only consider it a positive when he is back out on the park, getting a kick. Until then, I will be waiting and expecting the worst.

Well, have a nice wait.

Come on, really?

We beat Colonwood. Yes, happy.

Duh

Doesnt change my view about Trengove. His last 20 or 30 games pre ops, were downright ordinary, and at times embarrassing.

I hope the op has fixed the injury, and he can find leg speed. Lots of it, because he was slower than Brock McLean.

I dont think too many on here would disagree with that. Just because he is running, doesnt mean he is "back". Just means we are a step closer to seeing if his foot will hold up. Nothing to get too excited about, I wouldnt think.

No you don't. You don't have to say anything.

Why people feel the need to share their concerns on a thread dedicated to such a joyous moment for the bloke is beyond me.

After Jack ran through the banner and training resumed to normal,another nice thing happened.The demon army members who were there gave him a clap as he ran past them which made him smile from ear to ear.

Must admit I got pretty emotional just watching that. Goosebumps. Almost as good as a win.

Massive JT fan, would love him to get back and have a chance to become the player he could have been.

How much running did he actually get him?

He did some laps at half pace for a while then he was doing something else with Jayden Hunt but was on the far side of the oval from where I was so I couldn't really tell what was going on.

I will say whatever the hell I want. I dont need anyones permission, and I dont seek your approval.

Its nice to see him back running. Its will be nicer to see him running fast.

A little while being, 10, 20, 30 mins? Just interested in the progression.

Most would be very happy that he can run at all, though recognizing that he has a lot of work ahead of him.

Few will see it as nothing positive at all.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
