Thanks Woosha

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

legit question..do mosquitos even have muscles in their legs?

 

[Doss]

Was close to a debut too.

Really not sure that's the case.

“Irving is back running completing a hamstring rehabilitation program. We’ll get him built up and fit again and hopefully ready to play in a few weeks’ time.”

He has his sources champ.

Building up his running, on track with original 3-4 weeks.

Impressive young forward Irving Mosquito is making sharper progress in his recovery from a hamstring strain.

“Irving Mosquito is completing a high volume of running,” Crow said.

“He’ll start to build up to higher speeds over the next fortnight before becoming available.”

Dons on track to return

Essendon could be in line for a major boost with Dyson Heppell and Patrick Ambrose set to be available for selection against Adelaide.

He definitely has a lot of AFL attributes but we'll see over this coming preseason (and in years to come) how he goes at things like building up his tank and getting his body to that mature hardened physique that he'll need. Tippa will be a great role model for him because it didn't come easy for Tippa.

Progressing well, not available this week due to personal leave though.

Crow said young Bomber Irving Mosquito is “progressing well” in his recovery from a hamstring strain, but the small forward’s return is still to be confirmed once he is back at The Hangar following a trip home to Halls Creek due to personal reasons.

“He’s ducked back to Halls Creek for a funeral and he’ll be back with us in another week’s time. Then we’ll see where he’s at and keep building him up from there.”

Ruck, forward ready to fire

Zac Clarke and Jayden Laverde are expected to be available for selection against Gold Coast.

Bump. Apparently a hamstring injury yesterday in the VFL? No mention of it in the article about our VFL game though.

bomber rick tweeted this yesterday- doesn’t sound good at all:

 

[Runk]

Sack Crow???

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Welcome to Essendon.

 

[Old Campaigner]

He’s starting to resemble Cyril, with the hamstrings of glass

Sack Crow???

Re hire him so we can sack him again.

Severe hamstring strain, tendon involvement, surgery, season done.

“Right in the last minute of the game (Mosquito) did a sprint and got collected by another player. It was that awkward position and collision and he’s got another hamstring strain,” Crow said.

“Sometimes when you get caught in those awkward positions the hamstring strain affects the upper part of the hamstring around the tendon - unfortunately for Irving, that was the case.

“He’s in for surgery today to repair that tendon and that will be the end of his season.

Big Bombers ready to go

Tom Bellchambers and Cale Hooker could both be in line to return for Essendon’s blockbuster clash with Collingwood.

that’s victim blaming Justin

 

[Beerfish]

Disappointing for the lad. A debut in the senior side next year is something I'll be looking forward to.

 

[Don Won]

The positive is that he can concentrate on his VCE. Looking forward to a big 2020

3 months in rehab after that hamstring surgery. So ~10th of December?

2018 draftees Irving Mosquito (hamstring) and Noah Gown (foot stress fracture) went under the knife recently after succumbing to season-ending injuries.

Mosquito will spend the next three months in rehab, while Gown will commence running on an Alter-G treadmill in three weeks and is expected to start pre-season as normal.

Injury update: Post-season

A host of Bombers are set to undergo post-season surgery.

From some of the pics from Tiwi he looks to have put on a lot of size through the shoulders

Hope we get to see him in the JLT.
