Gumbleton 2.0

Gumby never looked as good as Reid had this year.

He’s proven he has what it takes to be a great player so I would hope that helps him in rehab.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Didn’t they say Reid found his left hammy is shorter than right and hence causes problems?

 

[joey_jo_jo]

According to the herald sun its the right leg this time, the previous issues were with the left.

According to the herald sun its the right leg this time, the previous issues were with the left.

This is actually kinda encouraging from a "minimal time out" standpoint.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

might be time to pull out the sticky tape

Yeah im no expert but was hoping that was the case

 

[DapperDon]

might be time to pull out the sticky tape

Give him the Reece Brood, sorry, Bruce Reid treatment?

 

[Milanista28]

Give him until the bye off at the very least, extra conservative for him I think.

 

[Old Campaigner]

According to the herald sun its the right leg this time, the previous issues were with the left.

Maybe he’s overcompensated strengthening the left side and it’s now too powerful for the right side

They did but when he travelled to Dubai he figured out the issue and was given exercises to fix the issue. When he got it re tested a few weeks ago it was of equal length and strength. Think it was in an article with cal

 

[andleanback]

This is actually kinda encouraging from a "minimal time out" standpoint.

But it’s not encouraging from a general point of view. Now he’s got 2 potential bad hamstrings that can give him issues

 

[joey_jo_jo]

Give him until the bye off at the very least, extra conservative for him I think.

in Twomeys article about Mckay theres a quick para re Reid saying it looks like 3-4 weeks but club wont bring him back before the bye.

 

[Chucks]

At what point do we start asking serious questions about our strength & conditioning team? Ridley, Langford, Parish & Reid having recurrences of injuries they’ve in the past, or multiple soft tissue problems. That world is far beyond my understanding but it does seem to represent a concerning pattern

Could not agree more. I'm always hesitant to call out the Strength & Conditioning and Murphy in particular because what would I know. But honestly, since he came on board in 2019, has anything improved in this area whatsoever? I'd argue it's gotten even worse, from a surface level anyway.

 

[faible]

I’m not sure how people were saying it wouldn’t be a strain. Of course it was going to be a strain…
On another note
How on earth is our medical department not icing him up. Bordering on malpractice to not get some ice on his hammy while he’s on the bench, no wonder we always have an injury epidemic down at the club. Can’t even do basic post injury retreat.

Fun fact, the guy who came up with RICE for treating injuries has since said it's not the optimum treatment method.

 

[jannissary]

i was on the downlow thinking that maybe we should give him a week off sometime soon, alas.

 

[Bipolar Bear]

I hope we don't risk him just because our Mckay went down

While icing can be an important part of treating hamstring injuries, it's not necessarily the best way to treat them on its own. The RICE protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is a standard approach for initial treatment, with icing specifically helpful for reducing pain and swelling. However, after the initial inflammatory phase (usually the first 72 hours), heat therapy and other techniques may be more beneficial for promoting healing.

Presume the above is along the lines of what you are talking about.

I believe PEACE and LOVE (yes, I know) are the current best-practice recommendations.

Soft-tissue injuries simply need PEACE and LOVE | British Journal of Sports Medicine

Icing can have a place, especially where there's a short turnaround between events where pain management might be more important than recovery timelines.

The point being that assuming incompetence because they didn't put ice on Reid's hamstring isn't necessarily accurate.

 

[Beerfish]

Should probably just cotton wool him for next year.

 

[Cold Sober]

Should probably just cotton wool him for next year.

I think he's already used up our cotton wool stock.

I think he's already used up our cotton wool stock.

Let's put him in actual wool

Lanolin is good for soft tissue injuries

I noticed that Richmond did ont Ice up Lalor straight away either although they did near the end of the game after he had been on the bench for 20-25 minutes.

i can only assume the AFL rules are the same as junior sports where if you ice a kid they can’t come back on so it makes sense that they don’t ice players anymore

Out 4-6 weeks according to our site, FFS

Out 4-6 weeks according to our site, FFS

And this is a ‘standard’ hamstring injury. When did six weeks become standard for all of our soft tissues?
