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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
