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

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
