Jack's back (Trengove, that is)



Recommended Posts

Wow

Great news for Jack, and the club. Still a hell of a long road ahead but well done.

Great news for the club too that Max and JW thought of and organized it all - shows great camaraderie and club spirit.

Hope it is an indicator of both players' long term intentions to be part of the Demon revival.

PS. did bring a tear to my one eye.

I nearly vomited. Another draft pick gone very badly wrong in so many ways.

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.

Well said. I find it really sad when people can't see the human aspect to footy.

It was a touching gesture by his teammates. Ability to get back on the footy field has nothing to do with what this thread is about.

Absolutely! It was a very special moment in Jack's rehab, and for the entire club to celebrate it in that way was special. I'm proud of them all!

Exactly.

If there was a thread dedicated to the likelihood of him taking the ground again or becoming an effective player for the MFC I'd have no issue.

But that's not what this thread is about or should evolve to.

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.

I think you'll find that the point wasn't about permissions and approvals, but judgment, something patently lacking in your previous post. As the great American philosopher Kenny Rogers once said: "You've got to know when to hold'em."

What a wonderful gesture by Max and Jack Watts. And to see the obvious pleasure of his team mates when he ran through the banner was quite moving.

It wouldn't have happened 3 or 4 years ago, so now we're making progress as a team.

Whether JT makes it back as an integral part of the team or not is a question for a separate discussion (like most on this forum, I hope he does) but for the present: all the best Jack.

Can anyone pure support to the player after a long journey of injury from him? To be fair to him,he has a tough time since draft him and hope the new development coach develop him right like Watts. If Watts is turning around so as Trenner.

Can someone translate this to English please?

I have no problem with my judgement. I stand by what I said.

I thought it was nice to see, and great, team building stuff.

I hope Jack makes it back to full health, and we see him playing great footy. You cant have too much class on the field.

Agreed Fault.

It's nice to see Jack doing light running but it's Baby steps for a long time yet...

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.

Strange that the negative stuff (the stuff that Pro Dee pulled you up on) seems to have disappeared from what you stand by.

Be a bit careful about how close you stand, you might disappear into a hole.

I think you read to re-read, and understand what I was referring to.

I was talking about what the guys, and supporters did for Jack. I thought it was team building.

Your smartarz follow up, was aimed in the wrong direction.

I will re state for clarity.

I thought the team and supporters were good, with their "welcome back"

I think Jack has taken one very very small step on the road to a recovery that I am hopeful that he can make.

I think unless he can regain his long lost speed, he will be a liability on field, just as he was prior to his break from playing.

I hope that clears up any misunderstanding on your part.

I think you need to be kind and patient. I think he/she/it is from Tasmania.

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.

Wow what a moron you must be. Pretty clearly injured and playing because some genius (a bit like you really ) foisted the captaincy on him.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6
