Why dat?
The wrong call was made. Deliberate or otherwise, in hindsight it was still the wrong call.
Because the way people frame it it's like the club was negligent and deliberately put the team above player welfare. Jack Trengove played an entire season with this sort of problem before anyone had any idea about it at Melbourne, so it's not like it's easily diagnosed.
"Hey, let's play Jared for a couple more weeks and jeopardize his entire career in the process!" I don't think so. They made a call on the information that they had available, and I seem to remember that at the time the first scans came up all clear...it was only when they looked a little deeper that they saw the problem.
