Has anyone actually heard how shazza is tracking is he ahead of schedule???

 

[SugarCoat]

Keefe looks pretty big.

 

[Rusty22]

[Baird]

did his shoulder

 

[Rusty22]

did his shoulder

oh thats right, shoulder reconstruction, done it against the swans in round 2 wasnt it?
Blessing in disguise really, frosty had a great year.

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

A traditional ACL knee reco essentially guarantees that the hamstring will pop at one stage or another. My mate did his getting out of bed after his reco, and he did everything right (he's a physio).

I would think it would have a lot more to do with how delicately the removal of the tendon from the hamstring is done, rather than the rehab procedures that the patient is doing.

Hopefully the surgeon who did Scharenberg's knee is more adept than the one that did your mate's.

Yep and he re-did it in Round 10 against West Coast :/

Nope. Talk to a physio. It's really uncommon to get an ACL reco and not do your hammy.

Just one of the side effects unfortunately.

Replaces Keeffe.

Replaces Keeffe.

hopefully

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

So I guess we've 100% committed to taking Armstrong back as a rookie?

Yes he's still under contract despite being moved to the rookie list.

Would have to be doing something pretty hardcore to tear it off the bone though...

If they do the rehab right hamstrings aren't a problem. They are susceptible to popping shortly after the operation, but if they are eased back in with good rehab then they aren't a problem.
Your mate probably didn't have the kind of full time rehab that afl players do, it's their full time job to get better, much different scenario.

My mate is a physio who owns his own practice. He literally has every single tool at his disposal for rehab in his own workplace, and is very diligent when it comes to rehab from sports injuries.

You're talking out your arse. Again.

You are correct in that the easiest time to pop the hammy is soon after the operation. Shazz and Caff are both past the most likely stage to do it, but there's every chance that they popped them early and it wasn't worth reporting.

 

[Maggie5]

Oh, I am in such a dilemma - who to settle on?
Sidey, Elliot or the Caff as my favourite player, loved to see them all back.
Might have to throw in Broomhead too.
Loved seeing Swannie back too, he seemed pretty happy greeting his team-mates.
I am getting excited and really believe we will do well in 2015.

Elliott is quickly becoming my favourite as well.
I have a feeling 2015 will see him AA forward pocket.

Hi Maggie, did you go to the training session?

 

[Maggie5]

Hi Maggie, did you go to the training session?

No, unfortunately, just what I saw on web site. No car at the moment

 

[Demonalke]

No car at the moment

You're a Collingwood fan, just steal one

 

[jackcass]

I only caught the 2nd half of the report on Falls Creek, and gather that Jamie Elliott has been unable to train due to some mystery injury. What is wrong with him?

Apparently got some hamstring issues (tendonitis??), hopefully right to resume full training soon but currently being managed.

 

[jackcass]

Is it me or has Scharenberg lost a heap of weight

Appears to be fairly light running next to Caff.

 

[HeavyPop]

Apparently got some hamstring issues (tendonitis??)

 

[Ketchup]

Absolutely loving the pictures/vision of Keefe atm this pre season. Can't wait to see him come back and prove 75% of this board wrong. Seems to have put in the hard yards
