Well I'm no more informed after that article!

To keep it simples

  • Deadly bacteria are everywhere i.e., staphylococcus or the notorious staph infection 
  • They infect our skin through little cuts and nicks 
  • Some players are poor at hygiene or wound care (or decide to go on jobs on the MCG while battling infection)

Immune systems compromised perhaps.

If you train at the intensity these players do, it absolutely compromises your immune function

I wonder whether he has retweaked it - looks like we will find out one way or another tomorrow. Best case is it’s just tightness.
 

 I can’t recall but there were suggestions there was potentially some tendon involved initially - were these true ?

I started that unfounded rumour. The first training session after the injury, he appeared to be testing that area high up between thigh and pelvis. He was also moving about that day and at further sessions.

It is still my guess that the injury is tendon related.

The tendon will flare when under a heavy work load, time and force. As he started a heavier training load, and especially sprinting, they realised a niggle was apparent. Tendons, take more time to heal than the muscle, I reckon 4 to 8 weeks.

All speculation, and your guess is as good as mine, given how he is being treated and the noise from the club.

Could also be nerve related.

Either something else is going on or it's just genuinely an unbelievable situation.

 

Clayton out again as previously advised still working on hammy issue, poor Hibbo copped one Thursday night bruised rib and kidney.

If the scans are still showing something its got to be than a minor strain.

RIP 426

 

Thanks Demonland and just curious but how come the club is listing Injury Updates on a Monday night instead of Tuesday’s as it used to do???

Injury List: Round 16

Clayton Oliver - Hamstring | 1 - 2 Weeks 
Michael Hibberd - Kidney | TBC
Tom McDonald - Foot | 4 - 6 Weeks
Kye Turner - Groin | TBC

Hibberd copped a nasty elbow to the ribs/kidney in the first quarter I believe...

Maybe explains a little  how Rohan got off the chain.

Oliver plays out game with hammy. Hibberd plays out game with kidney injury. Allowed to play on both miss games. They should have been subbed out at time of injury.

Edited by John Crow Batty

Based on the latest Oliver time line it will be at minimum a 7 week Hamstring if he comes back next week. Given he was allowed to play out the game that is pure negligence by our fitness and team doctors to risk our best player like that, it may well end up costing us top 4 and a chance at a flag this year.

Clarry injury update

Seems to be a chance next week. 

I’ll believe it when I see it. He’s been a chance every week for 3 weeks.

Hard to believe anything the club says about injuries these days.

Hibbo out for 4 weeks 😕

Yes it’s disappointing and is a loss. But silver lining is that he was being managed across the season, this is a chance to freshen up as well. Get him right for rounds 19-20 onwards.  

Fritta update, please

They're keeping this close to their chest.

@WalkingCivilWar any inside info with your connection to fritta?

She’s already posted yesterday that he’s going for surgery today and it’s serious but potentially not season ending.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
