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.

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.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
