When did PJ become such a bad player?

PJ's 2008 form was very good, looked to be coming on as a player. showed in more than couple of matchs, that he was capible of dominating play.

From what i remeber, at the end of 2008 season, he went in for surgury.

What went wroung? he has never returned to the PJ of 2008, why? was it the injury sustained in 2008? will he ever be back to 2008 form?

To me, it seems that PJ thinks he is a wingman. He moves great for a big bloke, with good balance, and awesome below his knees, but he just doesn't seem to know how to use his size. I think he struggles with the body on body stuff. If he could work out that he is bigger than 95% of players on the field he would be a fantastic player, but at the moment, in my opinion, he is not up to it.

Whose hamstrings don't take 3-4??

That's standard.

At AFL level, any hamstring, even a grade 1 strain (only 25-50% of fibres damaged) take 4 weeks to recover minimum.

B/c hammies can reoccur very easily, every team takes a cautiuos approach. It's sensible

Also,

The fact that Wona has done his hammy 3-4 times in the past 12 months is VERY bad for his playing future. Hammy's that reoccur can threaten his career.

It is especially bad that Wona is doing his hammy from an action that is not particularly straining (i.e. tackling). I would prefer he did his hammy doing a 110% sprint, which puts real strain at the hammy. The fact he is doing is while tackling suggests his hammy's are bloody weak

I thought you were describing Travis Cloke for a minute there.Anyway, any Melbourne players looking to man up Travis Cloke need look no further than the wing or very wide out on one of the flanks.Doesn't like any heavy traffic areas.

I'll add a bit more about Aussie, had a good chat to him and watched him, he was doing a series of runs 20M, 50M etc etc at different speeds, no limp, restriction etc, when he came to get a drink and a rest, I asked him how it was going as he looked to be running easily, he explained that was the frustrating part for him because he can run, change direction, jump etc, that is why they are sending him to a specialist, it is when he tackles, obviously he uses his torso and it could be linked to his back taking the strain and then overstretching the hamstring and pinging it, a lot of hammy problems are back related, they want him to see a specialist to confirm this, he is still doing the running so when they know what it is and how to fix it he has not lost any fitness.

I am of small stature, and when I was playing I found trying to stick a tackle on a guy that weighed 85 to 90K when I weighed 70 was a bit of strain.......Aussie is no giant so he has to throw eveything into the tackle....see my other post

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
