Dare I take this as a good sign that it's a minor 1-2 week injury and he'll back for Kings B'day??

  is there even such a thing as a minor 1-2? i thought minimum for the smallest of tears was 3 weeks. This equates to tightness / awareness / low strain etc. 

The best we can hope for is cramp, but the way he pulled at it suggests to me 3 week min. So we work towards a return for Geelong.

Had a chat to to a volunteer after the session.

He reckons Oliver, will be out for 4 weeks, JJ or Harmes to come in, and that Dunstan is still struggling with his knee.

He is moving OK, but only short movements. No strapping and feeling the top of his left quad.

Scared and fell I'm imposing if I take his attention away from what he is doing.

Oliver has entered the field, doing some resistance work and also going a bit harder. 

Now a bit more, does some switching with his steps, looking comfortable, all smiles, and Petty who is close by gives him a hug.

He has put on a stretch strapping and doing some slow 50 meter run throughs under a timer.

Carrying a ball, doing small kicks, Tracc has a hand slap with him, looking positive and on the low side of grading.

No way Oliver is able to do these straight away after a hamstring tear. A tear has too much discomfort when walking etc.

It's either badly tight or at least a low grade hamstring strain which could be 2-3 weeks max.

As usual,  you are on the money Dazzle!

Took a while to spot him, Dunstan is in full training mode.

I think they are testing him out physically. 

One of the last to leave the paddock, after doing some low ball gets.

This might be Dunstan's chance but by the sound of things Clarry could be foxing.

Just like Steven May.  

We'll find out soon enough.  Thanks very much Kev for your time and efforts to report back. Much appreciated.

Hence why I said it's hopefully on the minor (small strain) side of missing a week or two...

Petty was in rehab, doing simple exercises, no running.

Thanks Kev and all posters that is great that Clayton was able to get on the track at least and great that we have posters that have the experience to put forward great anecdotal observations re timeframes and injury types. Greatly appreciated.!!

Does Clayton Oliver have two hamstrings or just one now?

Actually, not wishing to be too pedantic - OK, I am  🙄 - he, like all of us, have three on each side.

Maybe the scan showed no tear at all and he was just suffering from cramp?   Doesn’t sound like he would be allowed to, or feel able to do, those exercises were there any tear at all.

Did he feel the back of his thigh at any point?

Thanks vm for another super update Kev 👏🏼👍🏻

I was not talking about weekly ins or outs....just a few possible positional changes.

Fwiw none of your changes are overly inspiring.   We are going to look a much less talented team on paper this week. 

*Clearly if players are injured or suspended they will need replacements...but that is pretty darn obvious!

Well if they continue to bomb the ball into the forward line then they may as well give Smith a go, at least he will crash the pack and cause the pill to the ground.

No idea why we would bring in someone who has proven time and time and time again that his disposal is nowhere near AFL standard. Buckley extremely sensible on this here:

He'll fit in well with the rest of our mids then.

No, more the front of it.

Started with some stretches, hip raises. I have included a sketch.

Fritta didn't do too much at training. Some work with the resistance band, and leg stretches.

This has been his normal weekly preparation for some time now.

How was Petracca looking? Hopefully not hindered by the ankle too much, will need a big game this week from him. 

First out and last off the paddock.

interesting Kev. My physio got me to do a modified version of this to test whether my 'hammy' was muscle or nerve related. Basically said if i could do this its more nerve related than muscle fibre.

I was convinced i pinged the hammy but  it resolved itself within a week without much work being done on it.

The clubs physio was right next to him at the time, guiding him through the process. Also, feeling the area where the leg bone meets the hip bone, at the front.

After this assessment, he went and did some short easy run throughs with some sideways movement. Talked to the physio, and after putting on an elastic support, had numerous (at least 10), slowish, 50 meter timed run throughs.

I understand thanks Kev.  Maybe scans were y'day as per Clarry IF they took place at all

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
