Out for 3-4 weeks with hamstring

Gross.



Sure enough;

Scans have confirmed Essendon forward Jake Stringer suffered a hamstring strain in Sunday’s game against the Western Bulldogs.

Stringer will likely be sidelined the next three to four weeks with what general manager of football Josh Mahoney said was a "standard hamstring strain".

"Scans today have confirmed the strain is to his right hamstring, which is the different side to his previous hamstring injury,” Mahoney said.

“This is a reasonably standard 3-4 week injury, and Jake will use this time on the sidelines to ensure a full recovery to return for a strong second half of the season.”

The Bombers will release their full injury and performance update on Wednesday.

Murphy pack your bags. Different leg but he looked so underdone Sunday. Have no idea how we allow one of our best assets to role out massively underdone, horrible management.

 

[Hamez]

Was probably overcompensating due to the original hamstring injury not being recovered.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Rushed back from injury underdone from a fitness perspective and re-injures himself. We are a complete circus atm.

How does Cripps do a 1 week hammy , but every time we do it's 6-8 weeks

 

[Runk]

I knew it

 

[BomberTime]

The club is going well.

Did anyone else think the footage of stringer coming off to get treatment, only to then jump up off the mat, tell the person controlling the interchange sign he was coming on, unquestioned, and then running onto the field… look a bit weird?
Feels like he’s left to his own devices sometimes. Ie not running 2km in 7 years etc etc

Maybe I just don’t understand the process on interchange that well…

How does Cripps do a 1 week hammy

Stringer was a 1-2 week hamstring last time and came back after 12 days,

but every time we do it's 6-8 weeks

this time it's 3-4 weeks

 

[eth-dog]

Oh ffs.

Bring Bryan in for him then

[essendon]

What a flipping joke.....club is cooked, shet doctors and sports medicos got absolutely NFI....sorry but we pay to watch professional footballers and this is so unacceptable......say what you want, but this is seriously pathetic.....and its round 8.......

Langford hammy in rd 1 first 10 mins
Phillips hammy first 10 mins of his last game
Snelling reinjures calf first game back and lasts 2 qtrs
Harry Jones - does anyone remember him....apparently plays in the forward line for us....cant get him right - reminds me of Gumbleton, Daniher......always injured
Stringer - groin, hammy, hammy............................................next
Stewart - calf too.....is he still around


...its actually not even funny how bad this looks on top of a lazy CBF attitude with a crap game plan no one is actually remotely interested in with no real structure or energy.........

.......at a lost right now.....

 

[Lore]

I could see Shiel for Stringer in a straight swap, given Stringer took all the CBAs in the first half and Shiel in the second half last week. Shiel is supposed to rotate forward anyway so it's a similar split, though Perkins and Martin probably spend more time further up the ground than they currently do. Smith or Ham as the sub.

If Cox comes out, which he might since he was subbed (and to be subbed the doctor has to declare that the player is likely to miss 12 days), then Perkins/Caldwell maybe pick up some more midfield minutes, maybe Martin on a wing a little more, and Bryan probably comes into the forward line at that point to chop out for Draper, although Phillips could also be available this week which could spoil it.

 

[Maxabillions]

Sean Murphy, from the Hawks highly regarded fitness department and was supposed to be good at his job if I remember correctly. Hmmm

 

[Lore]

Also some chance of Francis coming in if his knee is okay, he missed last week but his VFL game the week before was wing and midfield as well as kicking goals and some time in defence.

 

[windyhill]

Running around at about 70%, not a good look.

What a ****ing joke.

You really believe the dr has to sign off on that hahaha. The 12 day sign off is a joke this season.

 

[citizen-erased]

Burgess and taylor to go with mahoney please

I didn't know it was a thing until I was reading an article today questioning the validity of the sub and how some clubs are apparently questioning whether it's being abused. They have to lodge paperwork with the AFL that it's likely to be 12 days or more unavailable, but they can send another medical opinion revising the amount of time the player will be unavailable after a couple of days later if it changes.

 

[FlyingV]

Pretty extraordinary really….

 

[TheGrizz]

Murphy seems to have a problem with hammys, and bringing Stringer back so early may have put too much pressure on the other hammy

Like he got Zach back from a syndesmosis in 4 weeks and despite what the media will admit he was the one to finally get Daniher right and ready to go.

Pretty conflicted about him to be honest.

Caldwell seems to be going okay, although that could be due to the quality of the surgery. Same goes with Langford. They both did hammys under his watch…

Snelling, calf. Jones, whatever the hell is wrong with that ankle.

It seems like once specialists are involved and doing scans and tests, making treatment plans etc. it's okay. But I wonder if more minor injuries are just RICER for a week or two and if they pull up okay, onwards! There'd still be the club doctor involved, though, surely? Not just the head physio or whatever his actual job is supposed to be.
