Is it just me or do people think the plight of Wona is simular to that of Shane Watson in regard to his hamstrings. There were reports that Watson was doing an incredible amount of weights which inturn put stress on his hamstrings (as to why I have no idea)this resulted in him tearing his hamstring on numerous occassions. In early 2009 watson got off his extreme weight program and got leaner and he has not had any problems with his hamstrings since. In Wona's case he bulked up signifcantly from 2008 to 2009 years and has hamstring problems ever since. Is it merely a case of getting wona a little leaner?

    Wona had slimmed down significantly and was a lot leaner when he first had the hamstring injury.

    If anything, he is less lean now than he was when he first did it.

    Try again.

    This statement above is absolutely correct. It seems to be his running style that the football department is working on possibly under the care of Bohdan.

    i think you will find that leaner in strawbs post has nothing to do with fat but with muscle.

    my physio told me that my back was sore as a result of having poor core strength, as well as having weak gluteus maximus muscles. and as a result my hamstrings are over-developed, because they and all the other muscles in my back were overcompensating for my glutes given the running and weights i was doing.

    basically i have to strengthen my arse - and that will fix my back.

    mind you, my running style (and probably my weight lifting) techniques arent exactly flawless.

    it is possible, as you say, wonnas running technique leads to this, as well as watsons doing too many weights.

    but hey, what would i know.....

    You are correct when I was referring to leaner I was referring to muscle rather than fat, He changed noticably in his looks from 08 to 09 and became visibily more stronger. Maybe he overdid it with the weights which has caused stress on his hammys? and I agree wona is a top bloke which watson is not. just a thought

    Somebody has posted on BF that Aussie has OP problems and won't play until mid year - and it's not the only place I heard it but the source was pretty dodgy - while the mail from the club seems to be that he should be right by round 1. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
