All that running training the week after the Port game is looking like a master-stroke..

I did a heap of hammies and some really bad ones, but after 5 weeks there should be little soreness unless you have nigh on torn it off the bone or it’s tendon related. (This is only my experience, I ain’t no doc/pyshio etc etc)

 

A week in hospital bedridden on a drip isn't good for a hammy. He needs to regain lost ground from pre infection.

I don't think so, especially if it's still sore. 

Strength training and isometric stretching would usually be first to get the muscle back up to scratch then gradual stride through running as the next step. They may do some gentle jogging if there was no pain, the inflammation has to go down first.

 


Threw a pineapple on him for Charlie back early April paying $8.

Me too Gorg, compared to other muscles it generally heals quite well if you do all the right things, torn quads on the other hand... I can still feel that one

Track any player doing hammies in the AFL and they will be doing some form of running within a week

Not if they have strained their hamstring. @Webber - bat signal.

I have had hammy issues for many years now and see an osteo ongoing that works at Essendon.  After a hamstring injury it’s natural to have pain whilst running and he has informed me that treatment for a professional athlete will have them running in a week. 

I would also full faith in the Dees strength and conditioning having more knowledge than all of us.

Sorry, but I'm not trusting an osteopath with this stuff.

I did many a hammy and they were never sore when I got back to running, that's the problem.

As soon as you start to stretch out to full pace, no warning, they go.

You have to ease back into it.

My observation from afar...Clarry was running too hard too soon.

no offence but you watching a clip on the Dees website or on the news hardly gives you grounds to make an informed assessment on how hard someone is running.  As already mentioned I would say the strength and conditioning team at Melbourne would be more equipped to deal with it and understand what a player can and can’t do. 
 

Anyway I’m out of this conversation as we can go around in circles all night.  Enjoy your weekend and let’s hope Clarry is back sooner rather than later

I’ve never done a hamstring. I’ve also never run anywhere voluntarily. 
Hope this helps.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
