I get tendon - but has it actually ever been quoted as such? They said it’s near tendon but nothing definitive. In that context a retweak makes more sense that it being tendon and the nobody from the club saying as much.

 

I heard them say, tendon with two hamstrings muscle involved. 

If a typical Hammy, there is no way he would have been running at all, after the injury.

I'd say, a bit of hamm but with a tendon strain. I would also suggest that is why he became frustrated as tendon don't feel much at the time, but flair the next day, after some exhaustion.

Hams always give some awareness, tendons not so much.

Both, and diagnosis, prognosis and treatment, means complexity.

Not making light of a tragic event, but I read this banner on the below news.com article about 10 times and I still can't work it out. Pretty poor quality control. AI journalism is alive and well I suspect.

Ok so prob rest up and play a game at casey

Surely not a game at Casey if he is injured.  Either fit to play or not.

I reckon Fritsch might be back for the last game of the season. Listed as 4-5 so it is possible.

He’ll be back earlier than expected if his rate of progress remains as it is now, and it likely will.

They regularly take the boot off to check that he’s tracking as expected, then replace the boot. Last week they took the boot off fully intending to put it back on after examination. All were surprised and delighted when it was decided the boot can stay off. This is ahead of time.

I think if he can get in for a game pre finals it's a win.

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.

Been done to death, but gee Oliver’s is strange. Been back full training 2 weeks, on the back of a 4 week training block. His hamstring must be able to cut through steel by now it is so well conditioned.

On the injury front, the blues are pretty hard hit.

In terms of our game against them, best 22 blues plsyers who are def out are Cerra, McKay and Kennedy.

And Walsh is listed as one to two weeks, so in doubt.

Big outs - particularly if Walsh doesn't get up as their midfield is their key strength and their game is based around winning stoppages.

No Cerra and Walsh, and hopefully clarry coming back in, gives us a big edge in the middle.

Have they not always done this?

Cardinal rule in football is take things one week at a time. We’re playing North Melbourne this week - let’s concentrate on that game. 😀

The Kangaroos expect Goater to be cleared to play in Sunday's clash with the Demons, despite being subbed off last week.

Bonar, Hall and Perez could all return at some level, but will also need to undergo fitness tests.

The club is still awaiting more information before clearing Coleman-Jones after a second concussion of the season.

Shiels and Wardlaw are still at least a week away.

Charlie Lazzaro (back) and Tom Powell (knee) made their comebacks through the VFL last weekend.

I am a great admirer of Tmac, he has been a terrific contributor and a premiership player ..... but ..... sadly, I doubt he'll play another senior game.

I guess I shouldn't say the hawks are in good shape injury wise and Rampe and McInerney are doubtful for round 24

    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
