Damn.From what I can gather Paddy won't be playing finals at Sandy

the VFL records say Sandy won the flag In 2000.What a farce the VFL is.

It doesnt say Melbourne did.
Besides from good experience for some kids a nice reward for a few of our ex players its still Sandy going for a flag not the Saints.
I really hope they do well and ill be very happy to see them win but it wont compare one little bit to our own stand alone VFL team having success IMO.
Is that due to injury, alignment numbers or other problems?From what I can gather Paddy won't be playing finals at Sandy
I can see the headline now ....Paddy picked up an injury which hasn't been reported yet - that's him done for the year

Anything serious?
Will be be right to go for pre season training?
Jack Billings still won't be running for another month and by the sounds of it won't have much of a pre season as they only say 'He will be available for round one'.
Anyone know of the longterm effects of this type of injury? Is it something he can fully recover from?
None of them will be running for another month as they're all on holidays. Stop worrying so much.Jack Billings still won't be running for another month and by the sounds of it won't have much of a pre season as they only say 'He will be available for round one'.

To be honest, the fact that the MTSS resulted in an actual stress fracture has me seriously concerned. The hot spots or stress reactions can be hard enough to resolve but the fact that it fractured.... HmmmYour typical Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints) is a bit of a landline when it comes to trying to predict any sort of timeframe, as there's just such a broad range of variability in cases. The fact that Jack has stress fractures is somewhat of a worry, as it shows how advanced his case is, but you could also take solace in the fact that we know have conclusive "proof" on imaging for his leg, and in general as far as fractures are concerned, thus we can get a good sense of how he is recovering from the stress fractures, which could hopefully be applied to his MTSS as a whole.
There's really no secret trick to it; keep him off legs until long after the fractures have healed, gradually introduce workload in controllable increments, and play close attention to the biomechanics of his running style, with the aim of eliminating problematic habits, such as over pronation in his foot.
Then again, just ask Rors - I'm only in training

I would be treading very carefully with him over preseason & possibly even having him scanned every fortnight just to keep things monitored thoroughly.
Hopefully the club has employed a biomechanist to help with modifying running gait & also a podiatrist for custom orthotics. You would expect him to be on a complex modified program.
Would love to know his foot type. Majority of guys I see with MTSS have pes cavus foot type (high arch) & thus have reduced shock attentuation upon impact with the ground.
While I'm concerned, I don't think it will be an ongoing issue once the right precautions & modifications are made to his training, while also implementing the use of an orthotic & possibly other rehab modalities (maybe he could invest in a pair of Roo's moon pants )
