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

Grundy did call their coach John Longmire though 😂.

Yeah, I was surprised at the former and laughed at the latter. They do have similar personalities though, as in none.

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

Kozzie spent most of the game 'observing'.  He seemed to be where the ball aint.

Of course knowing our luck it’s some sort of rare hamstring injury that only 3 people on earth have sustained and all 3 ended up with a full leg amputation 😂

Do you know that if you cut a jellyfish into a zillion bits they all live independent and good lives. I wonder if Clarry Choo Choo is related to the exceptionally rare... RED FIREBALL JELLY, only found in the most inhospitable places on earth or sea as it would seem... I would hope SO😇

Don't forget they all then have to have their good leg amputated from an overuse injury caused by all the hopping around

“Clayton had some soreness at the end of the game and following a clinical assessment from the physios and the medical team, scans have shown that he’s got a hamstring strain,” Griffith told Narrm Media.

“At this early stage, we anticipate Clayton won’t be available in the short term. 

“His return to play will ultimately be guided by his ability to deal with increase loads and reconditioning. As such, we will have greater clarity as Clayton progresses through his program.”

...and after all that speculation, the answer is... TBC 🤪

Gawd that's written like it's a 10-12 week injury. That said, I'd expect he'll be back straight after the bye at the latest.

I'll start by qualifying that I have no medical qualifications whatsoever and no information from the club - I'm wondering if it is a tendon rather than muscle injury, which have a much less certain timeframe and rely on progressing through 3 stages of rehab, and the medicos are putting him through tests to understand which stage he is at.  Given he is moving well he's probably at the second stage which is ensuring the tendon has sufficient strength before progressing to the third stage which would involve ballistic movements, e.g. plyometrics. It seems tendon related as if it were a hamstring muscle injury he would be resting it at this stage. For tendon injuries after the acute stage (which it seems he has already passed) the rehab aims to load the tendon up and then finally specific training for the tendon to handle speed/power.

It's a muscle strain.

How does someone with no medical knowledge come across so informed?  You may be completely off the mark but you sound very impressive!

I was thinking the same thing. Has he got it off a mate or from Dr Google. Very strange for a guy off the street to make such a medical diagnosis. Maybe he has personal experience in this type of injury.

From the medical report I got:

As far as Oliver goes- we don’t know

We didn’t stuff up letting him play in because we only found out after the match - dubious

Everyone is progressing well - hmmm

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.

    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
