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

Source: I do martial arts and need to protect myself from skin infection every day.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
