i'm not sure im the knob, does that mean Nick Reiwoldt didnt prepare properly before he done his hamstring, can you explain what your expecting the roo boys to do, so they prepare properly???
Nick Riewoldt tore his hamstring off the bone. Something that can probably be attributed to a running fatigue injury. It may be an overload injury or several other factors not entirely sure.
From my perspective staying injury free or lesseing your chance of injuries come from preparing properly which involves a recovery program after matches, drinking plenty of fluids before and after a match. Stretching, warm downs etc. It also stems from modifying training loads for specific players depending on there situation/feeling.
Of course you would know that. Being the expert you are.
You may want to know that we (heyfield) have had players who have not played the following week/or not performed at or near there best after probably not adhereing to the above principles. This definitely happened earlier in the year. It did also apprehend our performance and I would think if players are misssing/under performing with general soreness/minor issues that they can be eradicated by the individual themselves.
Now Robbie if you give me your email address I can probably write a thesis on football over the coming weeks, you can proof read it and you can distribute around country football. It can be titled "The way to play, with Robbie Jayy".
