I honestly am dreaming of the moment he's back on the G and kicks his first goal. Would be an incredible effort if it was round one, but hey who knows.

All the nonsense going on here about his kicking foot is comical. The supporting foot takes all stress when kicking. The adverse forces to an injury such as JT's on the kicking foot are effectively negligible. If he wants to kick on his left, he can and will. To say it's the least of his worries is to overstate it. Jumping, landing (particularly landing), push off at high speed. These are the critical forces, not kicking.

Thanks Webber.

As someone with no medical training and limited medical knowledge, I have to say I had thought the same thing (i.e. that kicking on his right foot would place much more strain on his left foot, which is the foot that remains on the ground and supports all of his body weight, than simply kicking a football with the top of his left foot and having the physical pressure being placed on the right foot). Nice to know that common sense is actually supported by the medical position.

Wonder if Jack's in the mix for the leadership group this year? He's a bloody good footballer, and is clearly highly respected by the players and coaches alike.

I bloody hope he's not. Let the kid focus on himself and don't place any unnecessary pressure on him. He hasn't played a game in almost 2 years. If - and that's a huge if - he gets back on the park this year he will lead in his own way; he doesn't need a title.

I would suspect zero chance. Roos has been big on trying to take pressure off the likes of draftees, Watts and even wins ( his first two years he constantly talked about commitment to improvement rather than wins) - to have Jack in the leadership group would fly in the face of how he operates.

When he comes back, stars in a few premierships, re-takes the captaincy once Jones retires and wins four Norm Smith medals in a row as part of our historic 10-peat...

 

Well, reckon he'll be happy to retire feted higher than nearly any other player in the game ever.

 

No pressure, mind...

From Roos' Facebook chat:

Q: Can we expect to see Trengove available for round 1 selection or will he be worked in through the VFL?

A: Probably not round one, but it's great to see him back training, and we certainly will not rush him. However, signs are good that we will see him early in the season.

"AFL.com.au understands...Jack Trengove may play...with a return over Easter in the VFL possible".

I recall Roos saying early 2015 the only expectation they had was just to have Jack able to walk normally again.  I was quite shocked to hear the injury was so debilitating.  That Jack is close to playing again is a stunning achievement!  Speaks volumes about the young man's character.  Grit and Determination come to mind.

Can't wait to cheer him on!

Will be a really special moment to see the number 9 back out on the G, jack has had a horror run but has handled himself brilliantly, he is an inspiration to anyone going through long term injury and i have no doubt he's been a huge part in Christian petraccas recovery as well!

That is the one I'm asking about, might see if I can get along. Would love to see Trenners run out.

It's an intra club at Casey Fields on Sat 26th. Whilst the scorpions website doesn't have a time for the game listed, I think it would be a stretch to be at both Casey and the G for the round 1 game on the same day. Much as I'd like to see Trenners and Petracca have a run, I'll happily wait until round 2 for their debuts against the cheating scumbags

Ah ok, cheers. Hopefully they both come through with flying colours.

Not sure if I am more excited about seeing Trenners epic comeback or the debut of Tracca.  I think I may be more excited to see the #9 run out in the Red and Blue once again to be honest.

They're two different emotions.

Trenners will get a tear welling whereas Trac will be uncontainable excitement.

That didn't translate very well.

i know what you mean. Out of the two I am more keen to actually see Trengove run out on to the ground. Once they are both out on the G my attention will be turning to Petracca

If the Club were smart, they'd switch this to Gosch's. They're likely to get a crowd with these two playing. They could set up a membership tent, do a sausage sizzle. Offer Casey members a discounted entry to the MFC game. It would be the only way to see both games and a great opportunity to get some more memberships through. 

Clearly if he's about to play a game there haven't been any hiccups in his training since he resumed. They must know by now with all the work he's subject the foot to that it's going to be ok or they wouldn't risk him already. That's absolutely huge news. I must admit I was hopeful but not optimistic about hearing this at all and hearing it so soon is a big surprise. Although this is exactly the timetable Trenners spoke about some time ago.

So assuming it works out that he is in fact over the injury I wonder how many games he will play at Casey before we see him at MFC. From what I've read about how good his touch is at training it wouldn't surprise me if he does 3 games at Casey. I would have thought that's a minimum. 5 is probably more realistic. Would be great if he and Petracca were back in round 3. I've just booked everything for the Hobart game.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
