This will be interesting. He gets a chance to play for his career. Anything could happen.

    I'll be really happy if he snags himself a position.

    Cindarella story if we get to finals with JT picked.

    Great! I really like Jack as a person and club man and desperately want him to succeed given his absolutely rotten luck with injuries. Anyway my hope is he takes the handful of games left this year to remake his career  and doesn't leave himself and us wondering.

    Finally what a combeack. Will be very curious to see what role he plays, guessing across halfback.

    Does anyone know the last time he played?

    May be a role in the short term across half back. Great news for Jack. He is a seriously good bloke and still has a truckload of talent.  

    Agree this is his last chance though.  The club has him on the delist category and so he needs to show his talent this week.

    Starting on the bench. Great to see him finally make it into the team! Best of luck Jack!

    Unfortunately I can't be there, but I look forward to the replay and hearing the roar when he comes onto the ground.  Hope he lifts the whole team too.

    And Cinderella will by forgotten if he gets into our winning GF team!!

     

    PS I hadn't realised that he is still only 25.  IF this works out it could be a massive bonus, especially with Bernie and Lewis being in their twilight.

    I have been questioning the worth of our veterans lately but the season is yet to play out.

    in football terms,if JTs body "gets right" ,he is effeectively 23 in terms of games played and we know he can find the ball.

    I nearly quoted it but cnbf.

    Knute Rockne or John Bertrand?

    I'm definitely going now that Trenners is back!

    Hopefully it will prove to be a masterstroke from the List Management people - keeping a talented, footy-smart, hardened warrior on the list to plug a gap when the need arises.

    Like all on Demonland, hoping/praying his selection is justified come siren time.

    No idea but I remember Goodwin saying on his awards night that ‘failure is no match for perseverance’ and it made me think of Jack T and his unrelenting battle against injury. Google solved it from there.

    Except I thought we needed to plug some gaps in the previous 3 or 4 weeks with some hardened warriors like Trenners. In the week we get Viney, Watts and Salem back for the loss of Vince and Kent we suddenly get Trenners after all this time. 

    Another selection decision by our people that we don't quite understand.

    Agree - puzzling decision in some ways.

    But, as mentioned in a related thread, possibly designed to give him a chance when our better performers are in rather than when our playing stocks were very  threadbare.

    Fingers/toes crossed that it all goes well.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
