[Lore]

 

[Skipper_]

Has he actually done a hammy?
No.

Is it a tight hamstring?
Yes.

Massage, massage, massage.
All good.

Fool me once…

 

[yehhhhbra]

[ghostdog]

Fool me once…

You're right. The sky actually is falling.

 

[Call Me Cake]

[JayJ20]

Let's make list management decisions as if he and Ridley aren't available. We can't rely on them to be fit.

No.

Yes.

Massage, massage, massage.
All good.

Needs a massage - 8 weeks

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

he's gone in for scans on the hammy, this is bad news the worst news.

At least Ridley will be in.

Still have another night of training

 

[Lance Uppercut]

At least Ridley will be in.

briefly

 

[Nifft]

Needs a massage - 8 weeks

But is there a happy ending?

 

[sup3rfish]

Hopefully scans are all clear and it was just a concern given his history.

 

[cAsEy_18]

Hopefully scans are all clear and it was just a concern given his history.

Yes, and I hope the saga was all just a dream.

 

[sup3rfish]

Yes, and I hope the saga was all just a dream.

we are Essendon supporters - we live on hopes and dreams.

 

[NAB777]

Hopefully scans are all clear and it was just a concern given his history.

Apparently out for weeks

 

[Vindicater]

Apparently out for weeks

 

[Donflicted]

Football sometimes sucks

 

[NAB777]

Ok.

 

[ant555]

Have the surgery.

 

[DapperDon]

Seriously, what the actual **** are we doing wrong?

 

[Donflicted]

We need to spend as much money as we can on ensuring we can get this guys body in the best shape it can be

We saw what he can do and his likely got more levels he can go too

 

[MPMonkeys]

As expected with all our injuries over the years, the worst case scenario is the outcome.

I've given up. Even if he has the surgery something else will pop up or he will do a knee or ankle.

 

[MPMonkeys]

We need to spend as much money as we can on ensuring we can get this guys body in the best shape it can be

We saw what he can do and his likely got more levels he can go too

They spend as much as they can already.
We have about a dozen S&C coaches, we send the players overseas to specialist rehab clinics and we are by far the most conservative club with injury management in the league.

Not sure what else can be done.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Seriously, what the actual **** are we doing wrong?

Drafting 6’8 kids that weigh 70 kgs, are still growing, trying to pack 20kg+ of muscle onto them in a couple of years while simultaneously building them to AFL fitness levels.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Can’t wait for his comeback game

 

[MPMonkeys]

Drafting 6’8 kids that weigh 70 kgs, are still growing, trying to pack 20kg+ of muscle onto them in a couple of years while simultaneously building them to AFL fitness levels.

Most tall kids are skinny when drafted. And every club would have done the same. I’m sure the Bulldogs did with Darcy and Melbourne did with Jackson too.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Didn't they say he had one hammy shorter than the other? Think from a Reid interview earlier in the season
