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.

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

    @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: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
