Depending on the severity of the tear - 3 weeks minimum for a start
-
Hammy's take about 5-6 weeks to fully repair, but players typically get back on the park after about 3 weeks out.
-
he will be missed
-
Media are saying 3 weeks to a month ...
Meanwhile Richmond defender Dylan Grimes could miss at least a month after ripping his hamstring late against Essendon on Saturday night. Grimes could be replaced against Port Adelaide in Darwin on Saturday night by David Astbury, who has not played for the Tigers since round four.

The one sour note of the win for the Tigers was a torn hamstring to impressive young defender Dylan Grimes.
The injury will be scanned today, but Richmond is already conceding Grimes will miss at least the next three weeks.

I'm wondering if we will just keep Post in the side to play as a defender
Port don't have too much height down forward to worry about and then we have the bye
Gives us a chance to bring in another running player
-
Well Thursfiled didn't play ofr Coburg so he isn't an option
Astbury started well but faded away - no confidence
I'd just swap Post to defence, he can play on Schulz ;D
-
What about Gourdis?
Did they play him fwd or back yesterday, or both?
-
Didn't look like a particularly bad hammy, hopefully it's the minimum 3 weeks

It's usually a lot longer than that for it to repair properly but AFL medicos can get them back in 3 weeks
I have no problem if they give him extra time so we make sure it doesn't go again from rushing him back

He played back for the 3 qtrs I was there
Was very good int he first, OK in the 2nd and looked disinterested in the 3rd
Have no idea about the 4th ;D

Hamstring surgery grounds Grimes

Promising young Richmond defender Dylan Grimes had surgery today at the Epworth Hospital to repair an injured hamstring tendon suffered in last Saturday night’s Dreamtime at the ‘G clash with Essendon.
He will spend an extended period of time on the sidelines while he recovers from the injury.
“Dylan’s injury is similar in nature to those suffered by Josh Gibson and Nick Riewoldt recently, and the surgery was performed by the same surgeon,” said Richmond Elite Performance Manager Matt Horsnby.
“We’re optimistic that Dylan will recover well, and we know he will be extremely diligent with his rehabilitation program.”
Grimes’ second season at Richmond has gathered momentum since his return to the senior team in Round 3 against Hawthorn, after making his debut in the final round of the 2010 season.
The 19-year-old has shown improvement in each of his eight games in defence, and has twice collected 16 possessions in a match this season.

Gone for the year.

Yeah gone for the year.
Should be able to get a considerable early start to the pre season next year whilst also working on upper body strength whilst going through his hammy rehab. With our new facilities I'd live in our gym.
-
Yep out for 3 months which is effectively the season.

Disappointing but could be worse. This is still a development year for us so if he needs time off we shouldn't rush him back. It's a bugger he won't be getting much more development during this development year though. Door opens for somebody else. Time for Astbury to step up again.Good luck Dylan.
-
Really devestated for the kid and the team. He was just starting to develop the form and confidence to structure up well with McGuane and Rance only to be cruelled by this. Hurts us as a team too because we will mis his spoiling skills and speed. Hopefully he can return bigger and better next year.
Probably opens the door for Astbury, Gourdis or even Post though all three have being playing up forward in recent weeks. Astbury and Gourdis have been out of form so I worry about their inclusion though I'm uncertain of Posts ability in the backline as a purely defensive spoiler. I always had the impression he was more a floating CHB who took a great uncontested grab.
Once again, speaks volumes for how far Grimes has come in such a small time frame that the team will legitimately miss him in the backline.
-
poor mate
tapscott's looked heaps worse and he's only out for 3 weeks apparently
that's hammys for you
bad luck for the grimes family all round

Port don't have too much height down forward to worry about and then we have the bye
Gives us a chance to bring in another running player
Or they might move Post to the backline and bring in Miller as the second tall forward.
-
Sane as thursfield. Promising full back in good form.
Hope he is in the team round 1 2012.
Post backline. Griffiths forward. Miller coburg.
Astbury becomes important. Gourdis should use this a a blessing.
-
Dreadful news this, lets hope he is right to start the pre-season, he should now hit the gym with protien powders and work on the top half of his body..

Maybe, but in the heat I think a running player may be more advantageous than a tall
Miller will probably come back in though

Grimesy is already back running :).
Battered Grimes brothers join forces

INJURED brothers Jack and Dylan Grimes have flown to Port Douglas as part of their rehabilitation.
Melbourne's Jack and Tiger Dylan are in the Far North Queensland town after their clubs agreed a change of routine in their home city would freshen them up.
Jack underwent an oparation to the navicular bone in his foot while Dylan had surgery to repair a hamstring tendon.
"They said they thought it would be good for us to get away together so we can rehab together. It's worked out pretty well," the older Grimes brother said from the popular holiday destination.
"I guess because we both have an injury to our legs we're doing a lot more upper body stuff. Our programs are both pretty similar."
Dylan's recovery is ahead of his older brother but Jack said he was pleased with his own progress.
"He's lucky enough to be back running already but we're already comparing our training programs and what to do together. It's unfortunate we're both injured but it's worked out pretty well," Jack Grimes said.
