    That’s a big call. Petracca has a sore foot at worst and Max took some heat on the weekend. No more so than most ruckman, probably less thanks to Grundy

    Watch Petracca closely this Saturday and tell me he’s banged up. He’ll be the guy in the 5 guernsey ripping Freo a new one.

    Well, at least Tracc can get all the votes to himself now, might sneak a Brownlow! Seriously though, it’s a good sign that he is in rehab already. Don’t forget this is the same bloke who played with a broken hand last year. I think he will be back sooner than what the doom and gloom media are suggesting

    Just get him and Petty cherry ripe for Geelong, we’ll come home with a wet sail

    It’s a minor strain  - standard 3-4 weeks. I suspect all the smoke and mirrors is that there maybe a slight chance of a return for the pies game, which is 3.5 weeks from the date of injury.

    He'll have Serong and Brayshaw hanging off each leg and still fire off a handball to a free player :laugh:

    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.

    My experience is that I have recovered from a tendon strain and am familiar with the rehab protocol. What made me think tendon is that Clarry is already doing some running less than 48 hours after the injury and if a muscle tear I would have thought they'd have him off legs to let the muscle heal. Rehabbing a tendon involves loading it up to what you can tolerate and building on this.  This said I'm not a sports physio and have no idea how the AFL medico's grade and rehab different hamstring injuries.

    Not underrating Clarry's awesomeness for an instant, but I'm wounding if this provides an oppertunity for us to function slightly differently in the midfield in a way that's less predictable for the opposition and breaks open our season again?

    Certainly provides an opertuity for a different few faces like Sparrow, Harmes, Kossie, Riv or Gus to rack up some serious midfield time and show what they can do in there given the opportunity.

    Will it be Brayshaw Vs Brayshaw again?

    Afl website saying out indefinitely and will be sidelined for several weeks. They seem to be using the injury update video as the source of that information.

    Dees reveal extent of hammy injury to star midfielder - https://www.afl.com.au/news/932148

    OK all it now appears he is out for a little bit. No issues here. The sky is not falling done upon us Demonlanders. Team is not just Clarry. We have depth to cover and need to play more guys through the midfield than normal. Just might be a good thing and find out what the others can do instead of relying on Clarry, Trac and Viney. Viney had a quiet one last week and to a lesser extent so did Trac so expect them to come out firing on Saturday. Throw in Kozzy, Rivers, Sparrow etc and we will have a different look. S..t I hope so.

    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

     

    Smoke and Mirrors, yep sounds like an episode of "In Search of" with Leonard Nimoy, we will never know how, what, or why with this  one but clearly someone has STUFFED up Big Time!

    Where's '@Webber' when we need him???

    Was waiting til the official word from the club @rjay. A ‘strain’ is a tear. Not sure why they insist on using ‘strain’, when they could just use the tear grading (1-3). Nobody’s fooled I suspect. Anyway, all hamstring tears begin at 3 weeks. Straight clinical epidemiology tells us that if you bring even a minor tear (grade 1) back inside 3 weeks, the risk of re-tear is markedly greater. Needless to say, the longer the rehab, the lower the risk. I’ll assume Clarrie’s is grade 1, in which case he ‘should’ miss the next 3 games, to avoid such risk. Desperation does strange things though.

    Is there such thing as a 'low grade 1' Webber? I first had this down as hammy tightness because (in my uninformed opinion) if there was even a partial a tear it seems strange to me that he was able to do some running and stretching yesterday. Got no idea now.

    @Webber, how about Clarry misses next 3 weeks,, not games

    Injury sustained on May 19. 3 weeks takes us to June 9. KB is on June 12.

    So if it is a grade 1  surely he only misses 2 games and returns in time for the Pies game ?

    Good point.

    Depends on their appetite for risk but it is handy that we played the first game of round 10 and the play the last game of round 13.

    We shouldn’t write off James Jordon or James Harmes or Dunstan from our midfield mix all bigger harder bodies that can rotate with Tracc, Vines, Sparrow, Rivers, Kozzie and Chandler. That would leave Gus half back where he is needed most I am hoping that the coaches mix it up a bit and put a bit of a fire in their belly over the next four weeks. It’s time that the second echelon showed us what they are capable off and give Clarry the necessary time to get his hammy cherry ripe. Opportunity waits for no man.!!!

    Included Dunstan

    I know he’s our best and most important player, but you’d hate to rush him for the KB game, which is a probable loss  anyway, and have him do a serious injury and miss the rest of the season. Seems not worth it!

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
