Another bollocks LP  ;)

My son was back playing Vic Championship basketball within 6 weeks.  He was under the care of a specialist who carefully monitored his recovery and gave him the all clear to train at full pace after 5 weeks.

Charlie Curnow is already doing light training so I'd expect him to start playing a quarter or two in the NBs within 4 or 5 weeks - provided there are no setbacks with his recovery.

It can be a bit of a lottery.  One of my weightlifting buddies was out of action for 12 months!

So let me get this straight, the 3 weeks he has already missed and the next 4 - 5 weeks doesn't add up to nearly two months? I'm stunned! :o

Are you able to shed any light on those questions I asked Jack earlier?

Given the lad was hospitalised for almost a week(5 days is the rumor) is that the low end, moderate or high end?

How long before contact sports can be resumed, I had heard/read it is up to four weeks after the spleen returns to it's original size?

Has it been reported which strain he has, aren't there two main variants, one relatively mild the other not so much?

Is there a relationship or link between Glandular Fever and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Maybe all these related posts can head to the Injury Thread.

The fact that Charlie has commenced light training suggests that he was at the milder end of the scale - but that's just speculation of course.

Perhaps he was hospitalised because he is an AFL footballer and it was the best path to a speedy recovery - but, again, that's speculation.

My son's specialist was very strict about not resuming contact training before time but he did recovery very quickly and had no long term issues.  As I mentioned before, my weightlifting buddy was laid low for 12 months, as was my next door neighbour.  In both cases, they contracted glandular fever in their 30s and that may be a factor.

I can't shed light on your questions - perhaps ask Dr Google  ;)

Gorringe is ruck height and played as a ruckman before.

I get that but he's not even listed as an emergency, and from what I have seen thus far, Gorringe has been played more forward than Ruckman.

Sure it might be all about matchups and no obvious one for KJ, but Im surprised to see he wasnt even close.

I have not personally seen him play this year but there have been plenty of reports to indicate that KJ has yet to reach the standards required of him for senior selection.

Unless he has been hampered by illness and injury, I now hold grave fears for KJ's ability to make it. He should be well and truly "firing a shot" by now. Something is not right.

Just took Rowe at 163s (yes 100 and 63) to kick 4 or more.

If he's gets ample supply we know he's a very decent kick. Go Sam, Go Blues!
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Gives a small insight into the thinking behind the Gorringe selection.
I'm starting to get really excited again. Good to have this feeling every Friday again.
Go Blues.

If Gorringe just keeps up with Goldy, spoils him and generally makes his life difficult he would be making a good contribution - it's then up to our mids.

Same height, same weight give or take....let's hope our lad acquits himself well.
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Gorringe just has to compete. That's all we should expect.

re: Glandular Fever....EBV  to those in the trade.....another herpes format that you get over but dont get rid of. A lot of kids have it but is just gets passed of as the flu as it only lasts a short time in most cases..
My Eldest had it for 24 months and it still pops up in her blood tests if you look for it..my son had it for about 4 weeks and like DJ's lad was back playing basketball in about 6 weeks..he is a big strong boy though and shook it off quick and I would expect a fine specimen like Charlie Curnow to do similar.....
In fact we found getting back to your routine and doing some moderate exercise tended to help more than continual rest...

The friend i mentioned earlier ended up with CFS after contracting Galandular Fever. Thats why she was bed ridden for the best part of 12 months.

Didn't Alastair Lynch suffer the same fate. A year off to try and recover.

Yep, not surprised to hear the modern treatment is the opposite of the old world ideas of rest. I watched a show on ABC the other week that said exactly the same thing about cancer and chemotherapy. The new theory is exercise stimulates blood flow assisting the drugs to get to where they need to be with much lower doses, something about opening pathways that the body naturally does to generate energy needed for exercise helps distribute the therapy. But the spin off was that even patients not having chemo saw a benefit from immediate exercise, they think this is because exercise triggers the bodies repair mechanism allowing it to deal with tumor cells. Resting requires higher doses to ensure all critical zones are treated and doesn't trigger the bodies own repair process.
