I was walking down Punt Road at night recently and tripped on a scooter that was lying on the footpath. (It was dark.)  The upshot was that I 'did' my hammy in that episode .... It took me 3 weeks to fully recover. So Clarry should aspire to that timeframe for full recovery. Perhaps the Club would be interested in this information?

    I find it astounding that he would be doing any running at all at this stage if it was even a minor strain which is a regulation 2/3 weeks!

    As Dr Hackenbusch explains "It still could be cramp, and if so any musculature out of alignment would show up as damage".signed

    Dr Hackenbusch 

    No way are we that fortunate.

     I Hope Please GIF

    Agree players wandering around aimlessly at night around punt rd, littered with scooters is a recipe for absolute carnage!🙃

    Someone needs to collect them and put them into the Yarra.

    Bizzar if the scans show an injury but Oliver is like "Nah I'm fine though"

    & Trac said the same thing Semi-Final eve.

    The fact that the club hasn't announced anything yet suggests that the hamstring is still being assessed for the best rehab treatment and they aren't sure how many weeks it'll be yet.

    That looks like a decent hammy to me 😮‍💨

    Probably wont see him until Geelong after the bye. Anything earlier's a bonus.

    ... But then again, he played on so maybe just cramp?

    Idfk

    Is this available in any other format? Won’t open for me.

    All the above information and speculation is bloody confusing.

    I wish the club would just release the scan result and provide us with a realistic prognosis.

    They will release what they want released when they want it released. 
    Maybe playing games with Freo?

    It's vision of him grabbing his hammy, you can find it on our site, it's the first goal in the Haymes "All the Goals" segment

    Just had a look.  I think it's the lead up to the 3rd quarter Hunter "rain dance" goal.

    That is, of course, unless he grabbed at it twice.

    Fair play to BG in his media conference today. Not only did he use the indigenous names for both clubs playing this weekend but also reminded them of the significance of the round when they attempted turn the narrative into us roughing up LJ. Best of all he gave them SFA about any potential injury to Clarry or Fritta. 

    That club polo he's modelling is horrible though.

    Interesting to hear Freo are the number 1 scoring team from stoppages.

    Grundy did call their coach John Longmire though 😂.

    Totally agree.. 

    Some suggesting players should/will/ought to step up... fill the void...take the load.

    As if

    They should be doing this already...if..

    The reality is theyre already playing at their ceilings...and THAT'S  the real problem here.  There's no extra gear to go up.

    Even.if they can...it will be shortlived.

    Just look at our footy... and be realistic people.

    We want our team to succeed ...but we fall into the trap of over rating our lot...under-rating the others. 

    Why should the same lot that got dacked for 3/4s friday suddenly morph into "better" players.  Weren't they incentivated sufficiently Friday ? 

     

    I think there may have been a bit of slacking off by a number of those running through the middle of late Bubs both from a defensive and see-ball-get-ball aspect.

    With of course a few of the usual exceptions.

    There's also the set up issue that Watson raised at stoppage which is structural.  I assume this has already been dissected by the review panel/line coaches and the major mis givings raised as a team (between line coaches) with the players in attendance this morning.

    Grundy mentioned this aspect (paticular emphasis on D50 stoppage work) in his pressor this morning.  Along with the protection aspect for Maxy that was sadly lacking (for mine) on Sat night.  Time for a few of our heavy weights, including big Max himself, to start throwing their weight around as well as handing out some 'pay backs' when the opportunity arises.

    Goody, the line coaches and some of the leaders might need a little pow wow me thinks.  A bit of a rocket and some truth speak is needed along with some home truths IF, as has been suggested by some, certain players aren't quite pulling their weight at stoppages and CBs.  And even anywhere else on the ground for that matter.

    I suspect there's alot more left to give from some.  While others are already peaking and pretty much running at close to full tilt.

    Maybe Master Goodwin can look himself in the mirror as well.   Give himself a right rollicking for electing NOT to tag Butters.... just for starters....

    Yes, If it wasn't looked at as an option (a cooler to Rozee or Butters if they got off the leash at some stage during the game) prior to the match then very damning on all concerned Bubs.

    It appears the entire brains trust was asleep at the wheel.  This is where a super smart game day analyst needs to have some significant input (if they aren't already) in match day prepping.  If he isn't doing so or doesn't have an important feed in influencer role... why isn't he??

    I would have happily sacrificed Kozzy or Chandler for this role if i felt either was capable.  In the sense that you initially asign one of them to "go out and play your natural game in your usual small crumbing pressure forward role BUT...we are also going to prepare you this week to take on Rozee or Butters if they get off the leash at some stage".

    If it wasn't Kozzy/Chandler then surely Harmes should've been prepped as the sub to do same.  Kozzy/Chandler off... Harmes on...from half time....or whenever the sirens started flashing!  "Go get him... shut him down son!"

    "Don't get beaten by what you already know" i believe is the footy coaching catch cry .

    And when we needed some run why didn't he throw Kozzie into the middle. He hardly went in there all game.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn
