Just cause a player can play again after 3-4 weeks doesn't mean that it's fully healed. He's spot on and would know more about it than you clowns. It takes 10+ weeks for any soft tissue injury to be completely healed.
hey l'm in my mid 40's & still get out on the training track every week, l reckon l got better hammies than him
His body is not able to stand up to AFL football cant you see that, sorry forgot your not very bright we are all clowns that are laughing remember
had plenty of soft tissue injury, some very serious, can show you the scars but none of them took 10 weeks to heal ever & l played 368 senior games
some players have softy bodies that cant handle the rigors, & doctors of today are against football & want it softened up thats why all these injuries these days are made out to be so serious & take so long to heal
Also Imfamy l have done trainer courses in my time in football so that l can get out & put back into the game l enjoyed
There is a current AFL employed head trainer in my family & ex players VFA/VFL/AFL in my family but we all effin clowns in your books & know nothing
if a hammy took 10 weeks to cure Robert harvey would never had played so many games of AFL & is still playing effin wake up from your armchair lad
No disrespect Tm but I dont think your hammys are under quite the stress that Cogs are while he's training and playing at AFL level. 
Surely you know a grade 3 hamstring, i.e. a recurring hammy that is strained but does significant damage with take 10-14 weeks to fully heal.
Not everyone only gets a grade 1 that is a 2-3 week normal recovery.
Cogs is at the severe end of the spectrum which is why it takes so long to heal.
your correct TA, just because his employed by a AFL club dont mean he trains any harder than what l push myself in the Gym, Pool, Martial Arts, or footy training at my age. l always been a fitness freak & dont plan on giving up soon as l got the kids pushing & l'm helping to push them 1 of them being a very good fullback player
sometimes players get injuries cause they dont do enough & slack off
Take a look at Tommy Hafey, he a prime example of someone who knows no limit,
Robert Harvey is another example of a elite sportsman l hold in high regard & players could model off
Yes, players can be called lazy but that normally just means they still push themselves very hard still compared to a usual trainer.
ANyway we know how hard Cogs works in his case and a lack of effort certainly isnt Cogs problem.
Lets remember it was a Cogs diary so what he writes may be in his severe case only and relates to players that have problems like him, (Dew for one), that he may have not been referring to all injuries need that long to come back from heal enough to play to a sufficient capacity.
Damn sport science, so many bloody different circumstances can be between different players we could run round in circles with different examples.
Anyway point is in Cogs situation his hamstring are ruined and I dont know why he is back so soon after radical treatment. While he would want to be back ASAP I wouldnt want him playing for another 4 weeks, hell he has another year on his contract so do it right and the long road for one final shot. THere arent many left for Cogs.
