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.

    Clarrie back for Carlton, and TMac with Casey next week

    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.

    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. 😀

    I don’t think Pies, Lions and Power could care less.

    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.

    Isn’t their coach making a comeback too.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
