It took Richmonds medicos to find that Trengove still had problems.
Amateur hour at the Demons.

I admit my recollection of all that is fuzzy, but is it not possible that the MFC doctors knew there was a problem but we were hardly likely to tell Richmond that and hoped they wouldn't find out.  Not very ethical, but.....  Or is this interpretation incompatible with the know sequence of events  at the time?

I thought he actually re-injured it during the medical testing, that potentially they got him to put his foot through some examinations (stress testing etc.) he wasn't quite ready for which then meant he wasn't traded and wasted another 6 months recovering.

    That's not the DL I know and love Ethan.

    But answer me this:

    If the above was the case, why on earth would the medicos have given Jack the green light to play knowing that he was doing so in pain, and therefore at risk of developing a stress reaction or even fracture?

    It seems mind bogglingly stupid if you ask me.

    It's pretty uncommon for that sort of thing to happen but it would've been a case of viney's determination vs risk. In the end they would probably admit that he needed a bit more time off it but it's more one of those things that can either work or not depending on the player's individual body. Viney has shown to return from injury well and 'heal' quickly, so I think that would have been part of the reasoning.

    I go to most games with a friend's wife who's a physio and had the same opinion as NtG when she heard he was playing the Port game. 'He'll injure something else' was her quote.

    I guess it was risk-reward and I didn't mind them playing him against Port but he couldn't walk after that game and they should've held him out of the North game, likewise the GWS game the next week when it was clear he was struggling and the opposition was always going to be too good. Anyway, they obviously kept taking the risk and hopefully it doesn't impact long term.

    Selwood was the same with his injury this year as well. Must be pretty hard to tell those guys no but they really should.

    So Richmond ruined Trenners' career is what you're saying? It's Adam Maric all over again. That kid had such a happy future and look what they did to the poor lad.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
