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: 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?
