If an inordinate amount of players were going down with soft tissue injuries you may have a point... but they're not.

Do the bloody research first before casting aspersions.

How much research have you done on overtraining?

See below for injuries which can be caused from over-training

1. Runner's knee

2. Stress fractures

3. Iliotibial band syndrome, a.k.a. ITBS

4. Shin splints

5. Plantar fasciitis

6. Achilles tendonitis

7. Muscle Pulls

8. Ankle sprains

9. Blisters

Honestly.. It is very hard to address this without breaking demonland rules. i find the content of your posts very average on a consistent basis.

Do you criticize the post? Yes

Do you suggest an answer to the question "Why does every MFC player get injured in there first 2 years stunting there development?" No

Here's an answer:

Because the vast majority of AFL players do not go through 2 years without suffering some sort of injury.

It's a tough game and people get hurt.

There are preventative measures that can be taken for soft tissue injuries but they are no guarantee, and there's not too much anyone can do about collision injuries.

Its frustrating that our players do seem to spend a fair chunk of time on the injured list. I wonder how many are niggles and how many are injuries that actually prevent them from playing? Beeing held back by medico's would be frustrating i reckon, i wonder how many players dont present to the fitness team with niggles inorder to keep some continuity in their season?!

I was simply wondering why we haven't seen a decrease in injuries since hiring Misson. Misson's job is, amongst other things, to reduce injuries by buiding up fitness bases and helping to control and monitor loads. I never claimed the club or Misson were responsible for the injuries, I just made an observation. I never claimed a sports science background.

You got mighty worked up about a 2 line statement. I hope your blood stops boiling from my 'uninformed snipes'.

This Keyboard Hero is done with this discussion.

Freo are having similar problems with soft tissue injuries, Ross Lyon was discussing it the other day regarding increased training loads when he was at St Kilda and the soft tisue being a short term side affect before the bodies get used to the demands and increased workloads

I blame Bohdan.

Well I hear he is still around.Shane Crawford swears by him and I accept his viewpoint over yours.

so you would rather a Colin Sylvia running around as a 25 yr old who had his development stunted due to constant injury (or sensible and cautious approach) rather then a Dustin Martin.

I know who i would prefer on the list out of those 2

maybe its this type of approach which is why MFC is getting ripped apart on the field. i would rather have players who want to play with injuries rather then ones who always need a 'sensible and cautious approach'

maybe its just another example of why people call the mfc soft

The cautious approach is to AVOID chronic problems like Sylvia's. You're contradicting yourself.

Gysberts - broken ankle

Grimes - back stress fractures, navicular hot spot, shoulder

Taggert - back stress fractures a la Grimes

Evans - back

Cook - hip

Bail - PCL

Jetta - hip, shoulder, ankle

Tapscott - hip

None of them soft tissue injuries (in the main) - the majority are either collision injuries, stress injuries or due to genetic makeup.

Get it right before casting aspersions.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
