Harsh, bordering on cruel.

When Trengove's injury was first diagnosed,  he said there was a part of him that was almost 'relieved'.  He didn't know what was wrong with him, he didn't know why his body wouldn't do the things he wanted it to do; he didn't know where his power, speed or ability to 'push-off' had gone.  He was relieved to find out there was actually something wrong and where in his body the problem lay.  It was never a matter of him saying 'my foot hurts'.

He does deserve a go at his football if for no other reason than no one deserves the terrible luck that he has had this far.

C'mon mate. That is club spin

if any part of your body is injured you soon know where the pain and or weakness is coming from.

You sure about that?

Take a deep breath and think real hard about your answer before you really embarrass yourself again like you already have.

It was a political decision to play him through that injury. Considering the whole club tanked for his services. 

And lets not forget that the club traded him in 2014. If he hadn't broken down again it would have been completed. 

BTW I spent 8 years doing Physio every week as a kid so i do know a little bit about muscle and bone achesand pains...

Ok...?

You just mentioned before Trengove doesn't deserve any success because 'he' shouldn't have played with a crook foot. So you have pretty much said there that Trengove is in the wrong for making that decision.

You have now just said it was a 'political' decision  (by the club i assume you mean) to play him because the club tanked for him.. right..

So whos fault is it then SWYL? Because according to you Trengove doesn't deserve one ounce of success due to a clubs ' political' decision to play him through his injury. So in other words the poor kid had no say whatsoever and is now paying the price for a miss handled injury by our club and for forcing him to push through his injury.

Part of what you say i believe is correct. Yes The club played him as he was the marquee player when he should have been rested, Trengove has to take some of the blame as he was the one running on the injury and should have said "hey i just can't go anymore" but as he had been named captain i guess pride got in the way. But he could not run or kick more than 35 metres for at least 18 months. 

The entire episode is a sad state of how ameteur the whole club was. Makes me very angry and i hope i am not alone. 

I don't hate Jack at all, but at the same time he deserves no special favours. If he plays again it can only be because he has earnt it. 

Yes he is training nicely but that is light years away from playing flat out on match day. 

You must realize he stressed a bone injury for 18 months for the sake of what? Schwab's ego...??

who knows but for the medical staff to allow it is just so wrong. 

I said after the Richmond saga he wouldn't play again, now if i am wrong, great i will rapt. But he doesn't deserve a game just because of what he has been through. He has to be playing better than a bunch of other younger players

You have no entitlement to anger if you can't effectively express what you're angry about.

Trengove had multiple scans on his foot which showed nothing at the time. When the injury finally appeared on a scan, he stopped playing and had the first operation.

To get back to Jack's progress, had a couple of chats to him this pre season and to the fitness staff about him, it is just baby steps (as it also says on the club website), do something, see how the foot reacts, do some more, see how the foot reacts, upto now everything is on track, he has a one year contract, everybody at the club knows this could be his last shot, especially if the foot misbehaves again, everybody is behind him hoping he can return

He was put in an unfamiliar spot to lead this club when he was far too young. The stress and pressure he put himself to try and lead this toxic club has now now taken its toll on him (something he couldn't control) and now he is working is absolute backside off to regain his football career.

He deserves every bit of success and good fortune that comes his way. He along with Jones Garland Grimes and Dunn are small sample of players still left who were went through the absolute horrors of the club during those dark years. For their loyalty and love for the club they do deserves success.

I still haven't had anyone adequately explain to me how exactly this is supposed to work. It's a lot like the 'Watts had his career ruined because we debuted him too early and he got tackled' absurdity.

Put it this way. You do not keep racing a car that has a problem and hope that it just goes away. 

If you keep thrashing that motor it will break, no matter how long it takes to find the problem. 

You should stop racing that car until the problem is solved. However long it takes, unless you wish to do more damage. 

Which is what happened with Jack...

I also don't buy into the theory that tackle stuffed him up psychologicaly. But when i was living in Melbourne at the time i went to a few Casey games and he clearly was not ready at all. He had steady form in the VFL but had not banged down the door like say what Brayshaw did last year, even Watts said with an interview with Mike Sheehan that he wasn't ready. The fact that Watts debuted on national prime time in front of 60 thousand being scrutinized wouldn't have helped one bit. Its quite obvious that it was a club marquee decision to debut him when his mind and body wasn't ready. Has that had a psychological affect on him? Who knows but personally i dont use that excuse when he goes half ass at contest or doesn't chase hard enough. He is old enough now to pull his finger out and actually prove why he was a number 1 pick.

You're absolutely right. They should've opened up his foot at the time and put a screw in one of the bones, doesn't matter which one.

And just to show how fragile a player's career can be once they contract a foot injury, look at the case of 19 year old West Coast Eagles player Damien Cavka who announced his retirement yesterday on medical advice after battling foot problems for a year since he was drafted.

Exactly. And Trengove played on his dodgy foot for 2 seasons....

such elite management back in those dark days..

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
