I wonder if he has those hips that need the point shaved off, I recall an operation to some with genitic issues, where a point on the bone shaves the cartilage away ?   just guessing.

Some draftees have to Op before they start playing AFL.

    I’ve had one of those! They do exist

    cheers, layzie.  How have you got on ?

    Can you elaborate anymore, on the issue, and resulting injury ?  Treatment, recovery, etc ?

    Wow, poor bloke. It seems like his name is almost always on the injury list.

    Hope he can bounce back.

    Season ending or even career ending?  Nothing has worked for the poor guy.

    Certainly can. It started as a labrum tear while playing indoor soccer and then x-rays  showed the genetic ‘weird shaped’ hips where there isn’t quite enough room in the joint for the hip to move as freely. This inhibits the natural range of motion to an extent, for example sitting on the ground when you bring the knee up to a 90 degree angle and then pull it over the opposite leg the range of motion is quite a bit less than the average. So had the re-shaping done in the form of a hip arthroscopicy.

    I was told if there were any issues on the other side that I’d have to have that side done as well but none thus far 6 years later!

    It’s about 2-3 months off running, hydrotherapy and plenty of exercises to build the strength back up. I remember seeing Jobe Watson when he had his hip issue doing some kind of rehab where he’d throw a medicine ball against a wall side on and thinking what a great idea that was! But I digress. 

    Definitely a good idea to have the procedure done now I reckon.

    That is, IF, we are on the money?

    i think under the circumstances, you're being a bit hard on yourself with the chosen username.

    I've had the same thing. And it was also a torn labrum (doing martial arts) that brought it ( FAI - Femoroacetabular Impingement)  to the fore .... have to have the other one done soon. 

    Apparently a very common deformity which used to go unnoticed and lead to hip replacements in older age (due to the wear and tear on the joint )

    Pretty straight forward stuff if there aren't additional complications - I know Bernard Tomic had it done and I think was back on court after 12 weeks.

    Good luck to Maynard - reckon he'll be fine.

    16 VFL and 1 AFL game last year isn't a bad return for his first season, I think he only had some assorted niggles last year. Then a hip injury this year. As long as they get it right I don't think it will impact his career long term. The main downside is he needs games to develop ASAP, but the trade off here is he can probably do a heap of lighter skill work as he rehabs.

    I still like his potential as a tagger/stoppage specialist, he has the size and athleticism to go with the big name mids.

    Show me the randomized controlled trial of hip surgery in athletes versus sham surgery. There isn’t any! It’s orthopaedic mumbo jumbo. There’s NO EVIDENCE!!! Leave his hip alone! Rest and gentle exercise will heal the pain.

    He's a hard competitor, and big; but we do not know how good he can or can't be, at this time ?

    I think we need one more  power inside player to add to rotations... along with a number of more skilled inside/outside types, who can run and deliver.

    Hopefully some with speed.

     

    We are one paced,,, not slow, but not quick.

    IMO we need a couple more with some breakaway speed, for the mid section of ground.

     

    # so it we trade Tyson, we'll need 2 more inside players.   Hopefully Sloane,,, and maybe one of Maynard or VDB will come good?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
