Is the navicular that horrible bone that's cruelled Trenners career?

All the best him, I was really looking forward to seeing him push for senior selection.

Mitch Clark too I think? 

Terrible news for Tim, hopefully he's back to full fitness for the preseason.

Clark was a Lisfranc disruption- very different.

Oh wow! I'm sort of glad he will have the close support of jack who is a ripping bloke and has been though it

Sad news. Thought he looked likely. Hope he can get back well for preseason 2018.

Bull no! :( He has worked incredibly hard to get to where he is, played some damn good footy this season, managed to cop a knee to the ribs and now this. How unlucky can a guy get. He is one of the most down to earth and sincere blokes you will ever meet. Here's hoping he manages to get back to his feet as soon as possible, and I wish the MFC will keep him on for at least another year if not 3!

Agree Drunkn. Very tough and unfortunate initiation for Bull, but he is made of the right stuff.  He couldn't be at a better place than the Melbourne Football Club, where he'll be given every opportunity to make it.

Conversely, James Hird came back from his navicular injury to play very successfully. Let's hope Tim Smith can, too.

Footy's a cut throat business, but it's hard to imagine them not giving him a second year at least.  By picking him up in the first place, they've said "we reckon we can make you in to a player" - it makes the entire exercise a waste of time if they abandon him at the first bad injury.

Unless of course their view on him as a player has drastically changed - but I can't see how it could have since he's barely been on the field.  I'm very confident he'll be given his full measure of time.  If I were the MFC list manager I'd be telling him now that his spot on the list for next year is safe, not to worry about it and just focus on getting the foot sorted.

When they picked him last year he was best available. This year they need to delist a minimum of 3 players and weigh up if best available is likely to be better in the long run than Bull with a navicular injury.

I hope they keep him and think it is good for the culture of the club to stick by injured players but it is no certainty.

We will comfortably be able to find three or more players to turn over without delisting an injured first year rookie - I can count 5 without even stopping to think.  Do rookie listed players count towards the three anyway? I thought the rule was you had to have at least three openings to participate in the National Draft.

Bump...for Red ;)

Agree he is a nice guy. Spoke to him at the recent Malvern open day and he was excited to be over his injury and then this. Hope we keep him on the list and I would be pretty confident we would and wish him all the best in recovery and for next season.

Correct. You can actually uplift rookies if that is what you want to do, But 3 changes is the required minimum.

Lisfranc is the one that horse-riding soldiers used to get when their foot got caught in horse stirrups...

A historical fact for you all :)

    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
