MFC Rumours

Recommended Posts

you should reread the previous posts and link

I thought it was explained adequately

the stronger opponents (he had a light frame) caused him to do bulk-up weights

He didn't strengthen all the required muscles in a balanced way

Hence he had an imbalance placing extra strain on groin

It was only minor and should be easily remedied

Not too hard to follow

uh... Considering that still doesn't make any sense - yeah, it is hard to follow when you make stupid arguments.

Bulking up and opponents have had nothing to do with him getting OP, even if he does have it.

Your imaginary links are meaningless.

If Gysberts had actually put on some considerable bulk, it might be an influencing factor.

But he hasn't.

It was hypothetical

Read what the OP said "I heard from a family friend of his (who could still be wrong i guess)"

It is just common sense that if a player focussed on one muscle group AND ignored a related muscle group that this could cause a strain to that muscle group

I have no idea whether Gysberts has a slight OP condition or not

But no doubt you will have the last say

Understand what you are saying Daisy but you would hope the fitness/weight trainers at an elite level sporting club would know better than to let that happen.

agreed, you would hope so, but they are not perfect and anyway players don't always follow instructions either

but in principle you are right

Um, do you know what you're talking about???? http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/07/24/1058853197167.html

Great riposte (or should that be ri-post). I thought weights and too big a load was a key cause of OP but would have nver found the proof. To quote from the link you provided:

"The condition is generally considered to be brought on by heavy loads being placed on the major muscles of the hips and pelvis. Young players are especially prone because the hip area is the last area of the body to develop and the training regimes of players looking to be drafted to an AFL club focus too heavily on bulking up major muscles before the body has finished growing."

Funny when someone feels they can have a shot at someone ala "do you know what you're talking about" and get it so wrong

I heard on SEN1116 today a possible trade: WARNOCK for KOZI I for one think this would be a definate win win for both parties.

This one actually makes sense. Should it be in this thread?

Spud for good fringe defender?

Win/lose. We're the losing side.

How he won a friggin' Rising Star award I'll never know

Uh... That's overworking your muscles in an effort to build strength.

NOT trying to bulk up because you are getting beat up by mature bodied opposition.

Still, people will hear what they want to hear.

Hard to see much sense in this trade, Kozi is too old, inconsistant, and has never realised his potential (like too many others on our list already) so you wouldn't think he'd be on the FD's radar but as an interim measure it may have some basis in reality

At the risk of entering in one of the silly [censored] for tat threads i would have thought that building strength would be exactly what a young player would do in order to match it with "mature bodied opposition", particualry one who was thrust into the midfield in his first few AFL matches(against the might of Geelong's midfield in his first match one might add) rather than say half back. The original post intimated Gysbert realised he needed to "build strength" if he was to match it with other AFL mids, not an unreasonable view. Given he was probabaly dead keen to make the most of his chance, with Skullgove ahead of him in the pecking order, it is alaso not unreasonable to suspect he may have pushed a little hard in the gym to build that strength in order to maximise his chance of staying in the side.

Matthews said on the telecast of the Freo - Blues game that the one big hole for Carlton was the lack of a big key defender. Given his brother plays there what chance a trade with the blues, Warnock (and perhaps a draft pick and McNamara/Cheney) for say Lachie Henderson

Hard to see them parting with Henderson after only picking him up last year, but I'd be pretty happy with a deal like that :)

We should have tried to get involved with that deal last year.

Not the worst thing I have heard. Kosi might be a bit hit or miss but he is a big body that we need at the moment. If we picked him up for not much then I'm happy to endorse it.

While I'm no fan of Warnock, trading him for Kosi is a no. He has no awareness and I don't see the point in going after him when we've just delisted Bell another player with no awareness. Granted Kosi is a tall but hasn't performed for aeons. I'd still consider other offers though....

Warnock for Kozi i wouldn't be happy with, but the idea is right... ie trading our fringe Key defender for a big bodied forward/ruckman

Warnock i would keep as very good depth unless a seriously good trade was possible, and Kozi isn't a seriously good trade. Neither is a guy like David Hale... those kind of trades would be like us trading in Ben Holland, where you get someone servicable, but you don't get a player who can really take the club forward.

Warnock + 2nd round ---> Mitch Clarke.... that is a seriously good trade i would consider since it would solve 2 big defficiencies in one, a really good big-bodied forward option + genuinely good 2nd ruckman

As stated previously Clark is the ideal player for us. Given a fair trade we should pursue this with vigor.

Agree. This one could be realistic. That way we could still get a KPF like cook or lynch in the draft as a first rounder.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
