See semitendinosis pic. ‘High’ means closer to the bum, i.e. the ‘origin’, or attachment from the sit bone of the pelvis (Ischial tuberosity). The more tendon involvement (roughly seen as the white tissue), the slower healing, therefore longer rehab and return to play. All full recovery from ANY hamstring tear starts at 3 weeks.

    Isn't the hamstring connected to the bone at both ends?

    are you doubting artificial intelligence's ability to medically diagnose?

    next you'll be saying that dr dermott's ability to diagnose an injury to a player in perth while commentating from a bunker in dorcas st, south melbourne, is in question

    Yes but because of the work required the higher the tear ( Semitendinosis)and the density of the muscle, the worse that it is, higher is the worst kind, and if severe enough will require surgery

    It’s always perplexed me how Steven May was able to play in the GF. Hammy has always seemed the one injury you can’t “play through”.

    Omfg am I being pranked? Cannot believe how big a deal this has become. AT FIRST THEY WERE FLANKING HIM HOLDING HIS ELBOWS. AS THEY NEARED THE BOUNDARY THEY PUT HIS ARMS AROUND THEIR SHOULDERS.

    Not gonna repeat this again. Three times is two times too many. In fact not gonna post for a while. [censored] if I’m gonna let anyone insult me when I’m trying my best to relay things as they’re happening while there’s so much else going on. So go ahead and doubt anything or even everything I say.

    GW out. 

    Hey GW. Please dont let us remote watchers down. Keep up your reports as while we all have different perceptions and visions of your words its way, way, better than having to wait for the biased [censored] of the mass media, who only seem to report disaster for the dees.

    Its an interesting collective we are privileged  to enjoy and all track watchers give their perception from different viewpoints and different times. I cannot thank you all enough. you provide great joy and enjoyment. I can even enjoy some of the almost sniping retorts as I see there is also some grudging admiration amongst you for those different approaches. Please enjoy each others company as remember to respect each other as we all do.

    GW, I and I am sure others really appreciate your often cute insights and you give me  a great feeling of intimacy with the players that I would not be game to attempt. I am really happy that you can do that for me, and should I meet you I would be delighted to shout and enjoy  a beverage of your choice with you to discuss your obvious passion and ability.

    Not sure if this has been brought up on here before but what is the reason for TMac wearing the white lycra (?) top?

    Screenshot 2025-02-13 at 12-05-05 Training Gallery Friday match moments.png

    From the image above it seems to be a "crop top" for want of a better word and only covers the arms and chest.

    Sun protection or something else?

    I have some of these. theyre from a company called SPArms. theyre for sun protection. they genuinely do actually feel cool to have on - i run in mine on hot days. i love them. my wife does not. im surprised they havent made a full body stinger style suit one for clarry tbh

    Interesting. We still walk in discreet sleeves and find them excellent. This may be a good solution for longer outings.

    A lot of golfers wear these. Sun protection is ultra important!

    Everyone should be wearing sunscreen every day.

    That's just what big sunscreen wants you to think.

    Also, that's now the third post in this thread that made me think of Robocop. I think I'd better check out for a few days.

    Or you could take advice from Instagram that sunscreen gives you cancer so don’t use it. Simply jump in the Speedo’s and off to the beachSun Burn GIF by Jon Frickey

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
