BUMP!

Looks like Jack will get another year at Port.    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-10-24/port-trio-set-for-lifelines-rookie-still-in-limbo

Rapt for him.  Of all people he deserves to keep his AFL dream alive. 

Good reward for working his butt off. Well done. 

Some other players could learn from his work ethic.

    Well done, Jack T.

    Two other things in that AFL article caught my eye:

    • Dom Barry was delisted on Monday and Jimmy Toumpas has earlier been delisted. Port's ex-Melbourne contingent has thus halved 
    • Port may have 5 ruckmen on their list (it might still be reduced to 4). While I appreciate one is only a 19 year old recovering from an ACL, that's still a lot of ruckmen to be carrying

    He'll be entering his 10th year on a senior list.  With his injury issues, this is a testament to his character that clubs have wanted to retain him for this long with such uncertainty over his body and fitness.

    It’s unheard of, really. He averages just under 10 games a season, so he’s been afforded a slack that very few players would have had. 

    Hopefully things finally come together for him. Fair to say I’m not optimistic, but best of luck to him.

    Would there have been a time when we had all of Gawn, Martin, Spencer, Fitzpatrick and Russian on ours?  At thr time, Gawn was probably a 19 yo recovering from an ACL as well.

    That's two full Michael Newtons! (Scientific abbreiation Mn)

    Although, the Mn officially refers to time spent on a list without making regular appearances in the senior side. So Trengove can really only claim one Mn, all due to injury.

    I really hope he manages a quiet resurgence. Would be one of Port's very few true hard workers.

    2010 , 2011 and 2012 I believe.

    Dom Barry is interesting after looking good in the pre-season.

    He wasn’t given much of a chance. Feel for him after working so hard to get back imto the system. Still, he played 10 more AFL games than you or I.

    How many Jake Spencers (Js) though?

    Don didn’t play again in the seniors, had a six week ‘suspension’, after a bit of a drunken run in with team officials after the game in Shanghai, where he was the traveling emergency

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
