Iam prolly i bit in gasos camp with this one. In my case twice i thought i had recovered from my calf then twangggg there it goes again. And 2 pretty innocuous actions in stepping up a ladder and stepping out of a golf cart.

5. Use sparingly

I miss The Ziebel’s insights on this thread.
Where is he?

Would like to see him up the ground more if he is to maximize his playing strengths and if he is to possibly improve the overall current set-up.

That needs some re-education and over a solid block at the lower level as well

Dominate for that extended period of re-education & force a reinstatement, then no probs with his inclusion.

I was riding a bike but couldn’t run 3 weeks later

Seriously do you want me to bump the Wells thread and the 6 months of chat about calves?

They aren’t what you think they are in terms of injury

So you riding a bike is comparable to an “elite” footballer playing scoobs with a best on? ... if he was too sore to play, he wouldnt be named an emergency dude

Pretty sure he's thread banned.

Sorry

I forgot who I was posting to

You’re comparing your injury to an athletes injury who has the best medical treatment available?? Who’s sole job is to play football and be physically fit enough to perform at the highest level? This is hardly comparable to a middle aged man in lycra on his sunday bike ride getting in the way of motorists with a sore calf

His point was calves are unpredictable and can flare up again at a later point, hence potentially a few weeks in the VFL to strengthen and ensure it doesn't happen again in the seniors.

Meh; it’s a pointless discussion

I’m not here defending JMac fwiw, but you’re right re Calves

 

[Gasometer]

So around Page 116 onwards (mid 2016) in the Wells Past Players Thread is the whole discussion around the problems of Calf Injuries

Repeat rinse wash

Ask Bennell about calf injuries.

Ask Bennell about calf injuries.

And frozen water...

.... definitely a sensational twirler with dodgy calves!

Correct

Out of interest, was anybody watching JMac in the VFL last week? How did he go? I heard he got 30+ possessions. Not bad. He must be all of 27 now, is that true?

36 or 38 possessions last week.

Carn JMac. Do it again.

Shaw: Jamie Macmillan has been in good form in the VFL so he’s in the frame. We want to make sure we set a high standard and it’s a good thing that he has to work so hard to get back in.

Velvet sledgehammer-esque. Jmac been given specific feedback for mine.

I interpreted that more as being the back 6 have done exactly as asked and until they don't, or you force your way in with consistent domination, you can wait. Same can probably be said for McKay.

 

[Twinkletoes]

As Jamie himself said last week, “the side’s playing well and I’ll have to keep putting in waiting for a spot to open up.” He’s under no illusions right now. Work hard and take the chance when it arises.

Less sheepdog, more Heeler.

He's ticking all the boxes Shawry.

 

[Groin guru]

It's really not that hard to tackle. I can't wrap my head around why he can't after this long...

He must not have wanked enough as a teen or something. When I was in high school I'd come back from summer break with enough grip strength to drag down a bear.

Get tough Jamie!
