As a physio myself, I know the feeling of this sort of stuff.    Sometimes you have a minor niggle that just keeps on keeping on. From the outside a minor hammy like that looks like a standard

Physio here btw. I'll leave you with some literature to review.  Unfortunately, it's quite the opposite. We know from the research that athletes have a 3 fold higher risk (3.6x) of future hamstri

Along way under the Radar but how massive would it be if Tom MacDonald came back in fine form. Unlikely I know but if he can run he would be putting the Heeby Jeebys into Collingwood Brisbane and Port.

he cannot run thats the problem !

Very massive. 

I would love to see one more shot at it from T-mac this year but I'm having more doubts, can he get up to the speed we need from him?

Living in hope.

I'd like to see TMac considered for the backline  playing 2nd or 3rd defender during preseason and early season 2024..if and only if he get his body right. If Tommo decides to leave then he has the attributes to play that role.

I still fancy J Smith as a forward - i dont know how you make it all fit together though. He is one of the better athletes on our list. Clearly lacks some skill and footy IQ but he can address that through training and development.

Awful news for Oli Sestan who is out for the season now with a dislocated shoulder 😭

At least with Sestan they said he'll be back for end of season conditioning. Not that many games left for Casey this season so it does look a bit sinister.

I know they wont do it, but wish clubs would stop Click Baiting Injury News as well.

It's pretty rough yeah. Total clickbait.

Onward to next year for Sestan, big pre season and a massive tilt at things.

Just in regards to Clayton's injury, Jack Mclean (Melbourne's strength and conditioning coach) does a podcast/Vodcast called 'Prepare like a pro'. He released his latest episode literally 7 hours ago where he interviewed Ryan Timmins, who has done a bunch of great research into hamstring injuries. They spoke about how the frequency of hamstring injuries in the AFL has decreased, but the severity (length of time out injured) has increased. One suggestion is that athletes these days are getting too strong too quick. In other words, the amount of force the hamstring produces will outweigh the ability for the tendon to transfer load to the bone. As we know, this is exactly where Claytons injury is, at the musculotendinous junction. There is no research into this yet, but the idea has some merit. The point here is that that our very own strength and conditioning coach is having conversations with a well-know hamstring researcher about why some athletes are injured for longer. The answer is we don't know yet and there isn't any research to help guide us. 

To me, this explains why the club has been a little vague with their information. These football clubs are often right at the edge of research and are constantly having to alter and adjust how they do things. Then you add in the complexity of each individual and how their own body reacts. Again, these are just my own thoughts and I have no context for Claytons individual case. I just found the podcast super interesting and from what I have seen of Jack, we really have some of the best high performance staff in the competition. From what Ryan Timmins was saying, some clubs are deficient in their hamstring prevention strategies, so we are in good hands.

Hyperbole is your One Wood isn’t it

So losing out one tall forward capable of splitting open packs couldn’t be costly? 
I mean that’s cool if you don’t think so. I bet Goodwin is not in agreement. 
Doesn’t mean we can’t or won’t win without him.

Of course it could but he’s not played a big part this year. We have options. I remain confident.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
