Are you teasing TRS? A strain is a tear is a nick or whatever other word they try to dress it up with. The severity of the strain/tear is the question.

No not all, I'm not teasing. Just asking a genuine question. I thought he had a tear/torn his hamstring which requires surgery. I thought that would be different to a strain & managed differently. I was surprised to see his leg bent like that for a tear requiring surgery. But I have no clue what's normal for that type of injury. Hence the question.

 

[BillyElliott]

Is there a way we can find the same photo from this time last year to see if Oleg was Oscar were in it?

A tear and a strain are the same thing.

A tear and a strain are the same thing.

Well you learn something new every day. I thought a strain was a strain and a tear was a tear.

Google says : Sometimes the injury is more severe, and one, a few, or all of the muscle fibers get torn. In this case, you have a muscle tear. A muscle strain is an injury that occurs when a muscle or a tendon is overstretched. A muscle tear is when a muscle or a tendon is overstretched and it tears.

Find a better doctor than Google. The terms are synonyms.

I don't use google as my doctor.

It was just a simple question. This tear apparently requires surgery and I just thought it strange it would be bent like that. That's all.

 

[Obese Arachnid]

On Harry, I have some promising news - he'll be out for about six to eight weeks but complete substantial running in this time. Should be a positive for us.

Disappointing, imagine how much positiveness we'd get if he was out for twice as long!

 

[Hardas]

Erm... twice as much?

 

[Obese Arachnid]

Erm... twice as much?

Is it linear?

Perhaps old mate can confirm.

 

[doofdoof]

Can someone enlighten me on who Harry (DeMattia?) is and what happened to him?

 

[BillyElliott]

Can someone enlighten me on who Harry (DeMattia?) is and what happened to him?

Yes, Harry is Harry DeMattia. Apparently went for scans on Monday for a hand(?) injury. Someone on here said he'd be out for the first 6 rounds. Someone else has since said he's 'done a finger' requiring surgery and will be out for 6-8 weeks.

The club & media hasn't said anything as yet.

 

[Soups]

Can someone enlighten me on who Harry (DeMattia?) is and what happened to him?

Ask MemoryofMchale. Him and Harry are practically dating.

 

[Apex36]

Can someone enlighten me on who Harry (DeMattia?) is and what happened to him?

Yes. Finger injury of unknown origin. Judging by the timeline it sounds as though it could be a tendon. Or maybe not.

 

[RobJD]

Well straight from the horse's mouth is he's done a finger, having surgery. He sees it in two ways. There's the obvious negative, there's a positive. His development progress will be better for it.

Geez, at this rate, we'll be able to take all 5 SSP trialists!

Maybe that's why the club is waiting until the last minute ..

We've had 6 trialling.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Is it a strain or a tear?

A strain is a tear.

 

[BillyElliott]

A strain is a tear.

Okay

 

[Kirby]

It's about him getting fitter. Every AFL draftee works on running capacity once drafted. No, it was never an issue for Harry but the better his running is, the better his times are, the better player he will be. Nick Daicos put in huge running work in the 2022 off-season, won the 2km time trial in 2023 and then dominated even more in 2023.

Yes, everyone knows that running is far better for your development than games of football.

Robert De Castella could have been the greatest player ever.

[The Royal Sampler]

Okay..

Sorry I wasn’t having a go at you. I just responded before reading further down the page.

A tear in a muscle or tendon is called a strain just as a tear in a ligament is called a sprain. It’s an analogous situation to calling a break in a bone a fracture; one is the lay term, the other is the technical term but they are one and the same.

Obviously, Harry staged his finger injury so he can be my valentine tomorrow.

The extra width of his bandaged finger should make you happy

 

[Jelly Bean]

A tear and a strain are the same thing.

So what's a pull?

 

[Hardas]

Here we go...

 

[The Royal Sampler]

So what's a pull?

A cross-bat shot of a waist-high ball to somewhere between midwicket on the leg side and square leg, typically played off the back foot, of course.
