Training - Friday 10th January, 2014

yes, he jarred his knee.

I know we have a lot of bad luck, particularly with key forwards but we just need to relax a little.

The season is a long way away still.

You're very cool Song. Did this news have any impact on your training report "hard on" ?

It required me adding more lubricant than normal in what was a minor set-back, but i still got through ok.

Not too disimilar to young Jesse's minor set-back and current situation actually.

 

On another note it was good to see Billy Stretch at training having a kick with Toumpas. Then went inside with Viney, made me feel old seeing Viney & Stretch together.

The most interesting post on this 104 post topic. :rolleyes:


Is he even allowed to train with us? doesn't that violate some rule with future draftees, which Essendon was also doing last year?

Essendon got done for rookie prospects training with them before the draft unless they got done for another issue.

I believe Father Son Prospects must be different because the Bulldogs had Libba and Wallis training with them for various periods many years before anything was made official with those 2. Maybe there's a permission to train for father son process that we've submitted for. I'm not worried that we are doing anything wrong as it's not unusual.

This report in the Herald Sun covers the time trial with pictures and a report of the training incident involving Hogan's knee seems to have been tacked on:-

Jesse Hogan jars knee as veteran recruit Daniel Cross finishes fourth in Melbourne time-trial

In a training session that followed the time-trial boom youngster Jesse Hogan sent a scare through the Demons camp when he limped off after landing awkwardly in a marking contest.

The club said the 18-year-old - who is set to make his much-anticipated debut in Round 1 after being recruited in the 2012 mini-draft - was expected to miss 1-2 weeks of training.

"Jesse had an incident at training today where he jarred his knee. He has since been cleared of any major damage," Melbourne football manager Josh Mahoney told the AFL website.

My guess is that the club will handle this with care and have the knee looked at closely. IIRC, a similar diagnosis on Hogan's knee came out when he injured it against Bendigo Gold in August. On that basis, that 1 - 2 weeks might well extend itself out a little longer.
 

More time in the gym getting huge for Hoges.

Not concerned.


He'll be gutted he can't get out in the 40° sun to work on general fitness with the boys, but as above, more time in the gym to keep building his body.

Training in 40° next week may work in our favour when we play in Alice Springs.

According to the club's website, all training sessions next week will also be in a place that's almost as far away as Alice Springs. Casey Fields. Probably because of the tennis.

Just wondering if anyone has seen Christian Salem at training. I heard tonight from a fairly reliable source that he has been diagnosed with a thyroid condition & will be on a moderated & limited training program? Anyone else heard this.

.....or, he just had an unfortunate landing.

The same thing happened to him in the VFL, seems to have a landing problem.


Bloody Hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(:( :( :(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Clark has twinged a Hammy, Dawes recovering from surgey and now Hogan with a knee of some sort. I wonder how Fitzy is travelling

Fitz didnt train Or I didnt see him was there for about the last hour. I saw Hogan landed awkwardly and jarred his knee Dont think it is so bad

No need to back-track. Nobody has spoken about anything apart from Hogan.

Jamar spent the whole session leaning on the fence bouncing a ball

There might be something to this. At training the other day I noticed that Salem was talking quietly to one of the training staff on the boundary (don't know if it was doctor or physio) to do with how he was feeling and his effort levels. It was then that he pulled out of general training, I thought at first it was some kind of injury but then he did a little bit of running with no obvious discomfort.

They were definitely talking about something specific so something like this makes sense.

Anymore detail about the thyroid condition deestar3? Glandular fever?


Apparently his father also suffers from the same condition - he had fainted at training so will be on a modified program whilst they work it all out. This info came from the parent of a draftee who is from melb but has gone interstate so they know him well. But again it is just second hand info..

AmazIng the amount of injuries we have had since Dave Misson came to the club

REALLY?

Don't you remember the pre-Misson era?

Anymore detail about the thyroid condition deestar3? Glandular fever?

Glandular fever isn't a thyroid condition. More likely he either has hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) which would leave him feeling very lethargic or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) which would make him anxious and jittery. Neither would be very compatible with your first AFL preseason. Both are usually treatable with medication but it's often not all that easy to find the right balance straight away. Hence a modified program would make a lot of sense.

Wasn't it a thyroid that virtually ruined the start of Troy Davis' first season after we drafted him?

Yes I believe it was. I'm not sure if it's something they screen players for or not pre draft. But I could imagine that players could be healthy pre draft and then the increased load of a big preseason could knock around their bodies and trigger illness.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
