Have you got a problem with Jack, SWYL?  It seems you have no wish or hope that he gets better and returns to the field, and that makes no sense to me.

I have no time for the "emotional" game. I think Jack pushed his luck too far by playing on an injured foot for so long. 

If he makes it into the team and plays good luck to him. 

But training and playing in the senior side are 2 very different things.

I was just asking has he started kicking a ball yet. 

I had a broken R Tibia & Fibula from a motorcycle accident, multiple breaks Tibia had a triangle piece with bottom bone section below & upper section bone above triangle.... fibula grew back overlapping itself by 55mm.

I tried to play footy 4 years later, & half way thru season started getting sore shin.  xray showed nil.  Further scan showed activity around original break of the Tibia,  IMO from the loading of kicking the ball.. I was warned by TAC to give it away.

 

JT is I think more prone to jarring of feet on hard pavements ???    I wonder if hard formed orthotics will help him in this injury?

IMO, giving him a new contract, and excellent medical and rehab. support, is a pretty decent show of loyalty on the part of our Club.

and this is what the club should do for real servants who give the club all.  those who take,,, & grumble, can take a walk, & $culk off Howe ever way they want.

A fit Trengove is easily best 22 'Red', my opinion of course but there was a reason the Tiges were after him. A couple really, his playing ability and much needed leadership.

a fully fit Trenners is above Grimes, & would help out off half back & thru Mids. the boy can kick & can play, if he can keep fit.

Loyalty?

Talented player, ex captain and was shown the door at a time when our culture was at possibly its lowest point. 

A one year contract is an each way bet. 

often the clubs will try to pull the wool, for a trade,  to get a favourite son a couple more years contract ext, elsewhere, especially if they think its the end.

I often wonder about Kelvin Templeton?

i am having trouble grasping your position on this SWYL, do you believe Jack is being given more chances to get back then his ability as a player reasonably reflects, or are you frustrated that it hasn't come out fully that Jack himself is partially responsible for the degree of injury and shouldn't get the level of sympathy he's geting?

And in the next breath someone will probably tell us that some other player needs to 'toughen up' and play through all those 'little niggles', like the best players do.

Footballers are competitive beasts. The more pain some of them get, they more they want to play through it just to stay on the field. Often we laud them for that approach.

That's exactly what Jack was told when he said his foot was sore.

That's given us some great moments. Dean Jones' 200 in India. That chick in the Olympics who stumbled over the line in the marathon. Rugby league players who take hit after hit after hit.

But the pendulum is swinging the other way. Jones was hospitalised. The marathon runner endangered her own safety. Rugby players suffering early Alzheimers.

We're looking at these things differently now. It can be "tough" or "hard" or "gutsy" while at the same time being f***ing stupid. It's all in how you weigh it up.

PG Jack has a one year contract to get back into the side, only because he broke down during the Richmond trade. 

If he makes it back into the side, great. But he must do it because he has earnt it. I don't want him getting a game just so the fans can feel good. 

In my opinion he played too long on an injured foot. But time will tell if that is right

no big deal to work out.

Runs onto the MCG, for the first time since injury, midway through the third quarter in the 2016 prelim. We're 15 points behind the western bulldogs. Every time he gets a touch the crowd go nuts as does his teammates.  IF he can get back he's going to a massive team lifter for us.

Hey its January.....Its good to dream.

the club isn't going to give JT a game just for the fans... thats passe.  he played too long yes, but after the club medics said nothing to see here.

if JT thought he new better he would have gone off for a private 2nd opinion away from club.  I would have.

 

Jack is a team player, & probably idolises the game & the clubs expertise`.  we couldn't have a better team player IMO.  he isn't holding the club back, he is helping it forward with his attitude. its other softees that pull it backwards.

not really, those efforts in do or die finals are required... but maybe not in H&A games.

 

JT is a big game player,  & I want him in my finals team.. he is the ultimate player to give all.

The "emotional game" is what footy is all about.    The fans get "emotional"....The players get "emotional"....The media get "emotional"

If you take "emotion" out of the games, you may as well play with robots and go and have a cup of tea on Saturday afternoon.   There wouldn't be a need for demonland or any other football site.    It what footy is all about, otherwise we wouldn't bother yelling at games, booing the opposition, calling the umps cheats ect ect

You said "it has to stop", I pointed out "it's already stopped". so don't tell me you don't need things explained to you when you clearly do.

As do all supporters of all teams, SWYL.    Emotion has a lot to do with that.    Phil Walsh, Jimmy Stynes, Troy Broadbridge, The whole football world got emotional  You get emotional about past office bearers of our Footy Club.    We have no more easy games or send off games than anyone else in the comp.

   Players come and players go, some times I am saddened, sometimes I don't care but I love the players that put on the jumper week after week and give all they have.  Sometimes it is just not enough to win.

If we all didn't have a passion for the club, then why do we discuss/argue/bicker about it on here it on here?

So is there actually any JT progress in this thread?

He's been on the stubbies and catching crays with his mates in SA.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
