Hey everyone. If you haven't seen me around the traps, I'm a passionate Physio who's really interested in trying to better understand the root cause of common injuries and issues. Obviously, this closely relates to the AFL and I've popped up in a few places hoping to help others better...

I'm a Physio whose pretty passionate about all things injuries and have put together an article on why we shouldn't be icing injuries anymore. This is despite how common it is to do, and how popular it still seems to be in the AFL. The long and the short of it is that we have iced for decades...

I may be way off the mark here, but considering all trades involve either pick or player exchanges, at what point do clubs start trading cap space? Its already a huge consideration in most trades, but is it even a legit thing that could be done? For a team like mine who reportedly has a huge...

I feel like I'm missing something here, but since there's whispers May might want out wheres the public outcry this time? When the Lynch whispers popped up and eventually materialised he was bashed from piller to post as a Captain of the club wanting out by everyone and sundry - possibly also...

Hey all, I'm not sure if these posts get annoying, but I'm back with what I think is a really important one. For those who don't know, I'm a big fat nerd of a Physio whose passionate about uncovering the true cause of injuries. Following Nic Naitanui's most recent ACL misfortune, I've decided...

Hi all, If you're around these traps enough I'm sure I've annoyed a few of you with an injury-related post or two. I've posted a recent one on the Adelaide Hammy issues, but Ive wanted to set up a dedicated thread for a while for people to pop in if they see fit or ignore if this isn't for...

I know this is early but reading around the traps it seems we have a few academy kids on the radar, quite a few FA and potential trade whispers and not to mention a shiny new super draft to pilfer. My question is, who at this stage might we look at moving on at the end of our (hopefully long...

There was an article from the AFL website this morning that mentioned the Crows are tweaking some training features in an attempt to get their Hammy issues under control. http://m.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-10/injury-crisis-forces-hamstrung-crows-to-act As a Physio, I've posted about this before...

Hey all, I've just put some thoughts together about the current state of today's traditional footwear. There seems to be a huge gap between what's actually good for us and what most of us subject our feet to. If you follow most of our AFL players' Insta feeds you'll most certainly see a whole...

Apologies if this has already been raised but anyone interested in some JLT perspective, thoughts on JOM and Impeys impending stardom and other things like queries on our midfield depth, I highly recommend listening to Clarko on SEN the other day. Do yourself a favour. Mods - as always...

Hey all, if you've been around the traps you may have bumped into me and my ramblings on all things injuries. As a quick intro I'm a Physio whose really passionate about solving issues and uncovering why things happen. I have a practice dedicated to working things out and solving tricky patient...

Just thought itd be worth asking when we're back on deck for preseason? See that Nth and Carlton kids are suiting up already. Very keen to see how Ollie, Harry, Nash, Glass, Cousins and Lewis go over the next few months and who might genuinely get games with a full B22 available.

Hey all, I'm back again with another article. I'm not sure if anyone delved too deep into my last one (I started the Jaeger thread and posted it there - it has since gone a little off topic [emoji38]) but please feel free to have a read. This time I decided to focus on the Hamstring injury. As...

Hey guys, sorry if this is a little tiresome, but I've finished another article on things I'm finding clinically as a Physio. Some may remember that I put together a piece on Jaegers knee (hidden somewhere in the Jaeger thread if anyone's still keen to check it out) and how im finding a lot of...

I couldn't see a Jaeger specific thread but if ive missed something obvious please shift this post. I've posted this on our Hawks Jaeger thread already but hopefully everyone's ok with me re-hashing it here. Out in the real world I'm a Physio. I've been thinking for a while about doing a piece...

With the majority of clubs getting down and dirty already we mustn't be too far away? Very much looking forward to seeing a full Burton PS and hopeful Jaeger gets through and has a cracker. Would love to see a few of our kids step up as they, well kind of have to! Look forward to any reports...

Has been toiling away in the 2s for a few years. Consistently good but relatively unrewarded due to GWS and their depth. Mentioned today as potentially being open to a move. Would love him at the Hawks as he seems to fit what we lack atm. Prolific, contested player who tackles a lot. Any...

There was a tweet a few days ago that Sydney's Sam Reid might be up for a change of scenery and that Hawthorn were interested. Whether or not it's true or whether we could actually satisfy a trade for him, what is he worth as a guy whose struggled with injury over the last few years - with an...

I've seen this starting to get some discussion on other threads. We seem to again be in a position where for various reasons its not super obvious who might leave us at the end of the year. The mandatory 3 out doesn't look clear cut. We are running with one less on the main list so I'd...

Similar to the recent Birchall thread about being underrated - do we give Breust enough credit? Was just watching his season review video ( http://m.hawthornfc.com.au/news/2015-11-12/season-review-luke-breust) and its just such a good viewing. Highlights by definition are skewed, but it seems...

Forgive me if there's already a thread on this but now its officially the off-season, what changes can we see being made to the list this year? Despite the pages and pages so far on Trade|Draft|FA, if anything actually happens we'll need the list space to accomodate it. So far the following...

I have been thinking about the Hawks elevations of Webster and Willsmore off the rookie list and whether that might be a reflection of how good they may turn out. The idea being - why elevate them if you weren't expecting them to be a likely contributor. So out of interest, I've had a look back...

Hi, please forgive me if this has/is being covered in another thread and please move it if it is, but where is the man at with his achilles injury? With the bye last round, does anyone have any word on how he's managing with it? Is he JUST managing it and will continue to do so throughout...

Hi all, just thought i'd throw this out there and if you like it, you can take it if not, just send it right back.... Theres always a bit of misinformation that floats around about injuries, rehab, conditioning and the general shenanigans the players and medical staff are up to during the...
