If garlett has a hamstring would he be running laps?

Difficult to see how he'd run laps withOUT a hamstring, Brendan!  (Preferably one in each leg...!)  Boom Boom!

Jeff's scan came back completely clear as reported in the club's injury update.  If he had a hamstring tear, he would not be running laps.   But he had / has hamstring tightness.  So it becomes a risk assessment as to whether the tightness dissipates sufficiently to be able to play, including running at full speed which is vital to Jeff's game.  I don't think he'll get up....

So, what exactly, is 'hamstring tightness'? Does this mean the muscle fibres have over-contracted but without causing damage? And how does the tightness dissipate? Just with time and perhaps massage, ice (or heat) and ultrasound?

Summing up what I saw at training, I think our team this week will be:

Jetta

Frost

Lewis

 

 

 

 

HB

Hunt

OMac

Hibberd

 

 

 

 

CC

Stretch

Oliver

Vince

 

 

 

 

HF

Petracca

Pederson

Hannan

 

 

 

 

FF

Gawn

Tyson

Viney

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Interchange

Neal-Bullen

Wagner

Harmes

Melksham

 

 

 

 

Injured:    Jones, Brayshaw, Salem, Watts, Garlett 

Unlucky:  Joel Smith, Corey Maynard, Ben Kennedy, Tomas Bugg, Sam Weiderman, Jack Trengove (this list more than anything tells us about our depth).

 

Still not a bad side IMHO, certainly one capable of beating the current swans side.

Did the Weed train with the main group? I think maybe he will play and TMac will go to Buddy

Did Dion Johnstone train with the AFL contingent?

No, but means nothing, Hogan could be lying, he looks super fit, only additions to last weeks team seemed to be Wagner and White

At end of session 'Casey' team break away to have 10 min run together

Just back from training.  Salient points:

- no Watts for the entire session

- Garlett joined Jones for run throughs on the boundary for the whole session.  Practiced a few snaps at goal but you'd think unlikely to come up

- Jones quipped that his quad was feeling significantly better than the previous session

- Hogan participated fully in the whole group session

- Kent looked sharp and up and about

- TMac doing lots of goal kicking practice

- Joel Smith training fully with the main group

- Hunt looked a bit flat, Pedersen looked a bit sore

Huge news. The forgotten man. Love to have him in form and banging down the door at the end of the season.

Reporting just now on AFL website, that we have ruled out Hogan, Watts and Garlett. Concerning.

When you think about it though, we won without all 3 last week. Watts and Hogan didn't play and Garlett did nothing all game due to injury. So an upgrade in Kent or similar might be better. Think positive man! hehe

Hopefully the Swans even the ledger and rule Tippett in.

The only problem being that we play the strongest Swans side of the season so far and basically at full strength and in form, with 6 wins in their last seven games, with us on a third six day break and having played in Perth last Saturday.

Then again we are having a red hot go, no matter who is in the side.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. 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
