I did a hammy and my Osteo waved a half a pack of Oreo’s over my leg.

Sorted me right out.

Sounds like you just saw an Oreopath.

    Taking advice off an Osteo that works at Essendon.

    I think there's your explanation right there on why you had hammie issues @Demons11....

    Remember that HBA ad with the weirdo Chiropractor waving the fish over someone's leg?

    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 

    Well there's possibly slightly different methods now and the pain may not be muscular, who knows. The fitness staff would know best though that is right.

    Its safe to say though that this hasn't been the average hammy injury, he goes from being superman only going to miss a couple of weeks to going to hospital to now the hammy that won't heal. Its not exactly putting us at ease.

    The trouble may be that Clarry didn't listen to the fitness staff...

    Who would know.

    Like all of us we just want him back out there.

    He wants him back out there.

    Isn’t this all a storm in a teacup?

    He did his hammy. He then got a blister. The blister got infected (bad luck more than anything I’d guess). He had to be hospitalised to treat the infection. The hospitalisation meant he lost his progress recovering from the hammy. So he’s still not ready.

    Seriously, there isn’t any more to it than this, right?

    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.

    My Osteo is fantastic & would back him in any day before a physio who hardly lay a finger on you these days

    I thought the news on Oliver was pleasing when Yze was interviewed on Fox Footy an hour before the bounce. He said Oliver would train this weekend then train fully next week.

    And that has been an issue with this group of players for a long time. Viney, Gawn and so on.

    Have done numerous hamstrings myself. Rehab consists of ramping up from low intensity running to high intensity over stages depending on the severity of the injury. This can take anywhere from 1-6 weeks depending on how bad the tear is. If you can’t complete one stage of rehab without pinging in the muscle you repeat the step after one day rest.
     

    From what I am reading he has completed full training and was ready to play which is a good sign, but pulled up sore after. It looks like he pushed himself to come back too quick, had some pain in the hammy and has been setback also due to the hospital stay. It’s nothing really to worry about, he needs to rest and continue the rehab, allow the muscle to heal properly.

    Geez there's alot of hens cackling on this thread.  

    Oliver has  a hammy . Get over it.

    Give him another game off. Dont fly him to the middle of a desert. Ridiculous.

    Only the MFC gives up a home game and such a vital match against GWS.

    Heart of the Nation game. Who cares?  No one.  A loss could derail our season.

    Shut down the NT after this season. Stick a fork in it and cook it.

    What's the incentive? Is it more $ relocating this and does the travel fatigue and loss of home adv make up for it. Not for me. Plus it's another game this year loyal fans miss out on. All for sharing the good will but let others do it too.

    This would be plausible. There can be things like this that happen in a rehab program and sometimes the only thing a previous hamstring injury is another hamstrung injury. 

    They're the pros, they know best.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
