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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
