    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.

    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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
