It’s a nice, short injury list so late in the season. Of course, Howard, Jones and McKenzie are all best 22 players when fit and in form.

I reckon we've got more than 22 best 22 players when all are fit and in form.

Also nice to see no Jack Hayes, as some thought he may have done something to his hammy right at the end of his 6 goal Sandy game.

Anyone else get anxious when you see the notification for this thread? haha

No didn’t have any genuine fears Hayes had done his hammy…
Nup, none whatsoever!

 

[Dr Spaceman]

Did Hayes just do his hammy? Thought he threw his mouthguard on the siren just then

Clearly what HCH witnessed was Hayes throwing his mouthguard as he thought he should've kicked 10 instead of just 6.

That's the attitude we need as we strive to succeed at finals time.

Good onya Jack [emoji1303]

Still not sure they would risk him for the finals when he has had so many hamstring issues, not ideal being a player down in a final if he does it again.

We got away with it against Geelong but against better midfields we may not be so lucky, our midfield looks better with him in it though.

Generally pretty common to redo a hammie, depending on severity, most get ironed out after the second as the body recovers to that sort of tear and retension of muscle for use. So can see them risking him if it's deemed as a "low" chance to repeat for a third hammie grading.

They said it’s a different injury to the first.

Throwing his mouthguard in joy, clearly.

 

[Otiman]

I'd play Seb in a final, without question.

A hammie, not THE hammie.

The usual is player does hammie, gets it repaired, the repair usually is great and works fine, but depending on grade and how high,deep and etc it is, muscle around it rejects or acts differently as what is this foreign crap, where's the original and bang, second issue when pressure to perform is encountered as 404 tension not found.

Different injury, different location, all born from same injury.
