MFC and foot injuries

really disturbing. Is there ANY other club having the same type of foot issues? It does seems like its particular to us and, if so, must  in some way to the way we prepare/ train...or the surface itself. Unless its just horrible luck. I hope they're investigating, because if Oliver, Gawn, or Brayshaw go down with something similar there could be riot ...and I'll be at the front of it. 

 

Don't forget the surface of Gosch's Paddock. There has to be a correlation to the surface and the spate of foot injuries over the past few years. 


Does vanders qualify to be part of this elite list?

Absent extreme coincidence or bad luck (both unlikely), one must assume there is something that we are doing at training or the site of our training.

Surely some sort of enquiry will be made by the footy dept to get to the bottom of this most troubling foot injury syndrome.

 

Too much repeat exercise on hard surfaces is the prime suspect according to the missus (GP).

Don't forget Tim Smith last year as well.

 

It is definitely associated with overuse, they definitely need to look at training loads.  Have had a lot of experience with these injuries in association with basketball.

Stretch and before that Clark and Trengove. All under Missons watch?

Yep I've been banging on about it for the last 18 months, time to ditch this fool.

The guy is a jinx.


Its hard to judge compared to other clubs, but at a glance it seems we have far more than we should.

Did the pies have problems before us at our training venue?  I don't remember any reports.

So it must be another cause, or simply poor physical mechanics in our players that we need a biomechanical to fix ASAP.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.
