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.

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 :)

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
