Well I hope he/she is no longer at your club as a trainer! Treatment for corkies are seriously one of my most pet hates in football!

So for any boys that suffer with this injury in the future my advice:
A corky is a direct blow to a muscle which causes a rupture to the muscle that bleeds, the bleeding will then become a blood clot or haematoma in the muscle or in easy words a lump.
If the blood clot (Corky) is disturbed eg by hard rubbing, the bleeding will continue and the corky will continue not to heal. Best way to treat a corky and reduce the bleeding in the muscle: ice for 20mins every 2 hours for approx 48 - 72 hours after injury occurred, the thigh should be rested and raised as much as possible and an absolute must is a compression bandage its limits bleeding and lump formation and also reduces the swelling. As FC said stretching is also a must (light stretching).

If any rubbing is to be applied it should only be done after 72 hours and only very gentle soft tissue massage should be applied!

No heat should be applied as it only increases bleeding.
Also no alcohol should be consumed! As if any one listens to that advice!!!

So if any trainer wants to use any rolling pin or any other object on a corky you are mad if you let them!

Straight out of the text book, well done...

I beg to differ, Corkys are my favourite thing to deal with, and I always get a good audience for a corky rubout..

I use neither thumbs nor rolling pins

Im sure you will find the same information in a text book!
But when you have explained it to as many old school idiots on a side line that are over the top of you saying just get the thumbs into it and rub it out! It becomes common knowledge!
I work with these injuries everyday and also have to fix the damage some trainers cause by using old school methods on these injuries!

But as i said i do also like watching these big tough footy guys melt in your hand when it comes to having one treated! It nice to see they are human and that boys do cry sometimes!

And yes the audience is always there when someone is having pain inflicted on them!

I try to be gentle! Sometimes

[Footy Chick]

how long you been a trainer for TG?

[Lightning McQueen]

Paralowie will make the GF. The rest are all in the mix, but could easily be Henley or Athelstone to play them. Angle Vale are my smokey.

Re. the new club, was told it would be Salisbury something, lets see how that one pans out anyway.

Wouldn't you be hating it if CLG and WOS went up to Div 5, Paralowie and Angle Vale up to Div 6. You'd have several long road trips, out to Trinity, our ground (if we make it), Hope Valley

At least they'll know the way, they had to travel to Ingle Farm, Smithfield, Greenacres, Elizabeth, Central United and Golden Grove this year, all in the space of about 8 or 9 weeks. Blackfriars was their 2nd closest.

you got that right LM..we are used to the travelling..dont forget the nice sojurn down to rosies as well

vice versa, they all have to come to us as well

Sorry mate, I thought Rosies was pretty much your local derby

[zedman]

how did the kid go last night at the tribunal LM ?

For football 3 years! Only help out when im needed this year! Was at different club before that!

In medicine / sports medicine about 7 and half years!

[Scout]

Lance I live just around the corner..I go there through association......

[Scout]

If I do play again it wont be there but I dont think it will be at my old school either they are not going that well

[Lance's brother]

What club are you from there LB?

Think I missed replying to this demonseye... I'm a WOS player.

I'll be seeing your new boys this weekend for a close up look. Wanna get a close look at this B-grade juggernaut, because I have $50 bucks on the line with an Valley player from last year on who's B's will finish higher.

[Scout]

Lance have they lost a game.???

You can help me out then seeing you play...who is the guy up forward who cant kick straight can play

Ferris, kicked 4.7 and all 7 of the behinds were kickable. Had a bad day and it just got in his head, he is normally a much better kick than that.

[Scout]

He looks good and a small bloke in the backline..actually the whole backline looks ok...how did you go last year..WC had a couple of good players in there backline pretty quick..how big was the FF

I think you may be right FC. Lucky I didn't take him on his first offer or I'd be losing my house.

Bet was made before a ball was bounced in the season.

[The Ash Man]

Number 10 from Brahma got sent off?
no way, I dont beleive it

[Lance's brother]

Everyone looks good when you win by 20 goals.

WC aren't as bad as the scoreboard showed either, there's some quality in there, but it's hard when you have 2 guys play A's that have already played B's and then you get a few injuries early in the game.

[Scout]

really they were that short....hell..

Lance's brother:
Trinity are planning to win B Grade GF.
but as for finishing higher I hope you are prepared to loose that $50 the valley reserves boys IMO are a sure bet! We have played both WOS and valleys twice and valleys were the stronger team by far! Thats not to say WOS were not good, they were but i would say Valleys will sit higher then WOS my prediction valleys to sit 2nd, under Trinity of course! Im hoping anyway!

No...IMO valleys looking the better side to take out reserves flag in 08!

I will eat my words if you prove me wrong tho!

Our terrible reserves performance on saturday was just all tactics so we look better when we win GF!

Next three weeks will the top 5 just wrap key players in cotton wool before finals...is it that close..??

I would have thought the complete opposite scout. With the top 5 so tight and nothing set in stone atm you'd think clubs would be playing their best 21 to secure the highest spot possible on the ladder.
