Jack's back (Trengove, that is)

[Emerald 1,744]

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

20 minutes maybe.Don't quote me on it as I was focusing on the rest of the team.

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.

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."

[Dee Dee 1,108]

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.

[Adzman 2,154]

Just when I think I can't love this club anymore than I do, they go and do something like this.

[titan_uranus 25,020]

I love that, on so many levels.

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...

[Dr John Dee 1,057]

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.

Or may speak English as a second language. Ease up.

Excited for Jack hope he gets a solid crack at it now. If nothing else I think he could be a ready made replacement for Daniel Cross at the end of 2016.

Very well done by the Watts and Gawny. It made me smile.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,053]

It was just pointed out that Alex Fasolo had the same injury as Jack. He also re-injured it and after a long layoff is finally playing well again. Just shows that it is possible to get back to your best after something like this. I hope Jack can recover as well.

[jnrmac 20,065]

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.
