Interesting. I wonder how long that would keep him out of the team? Will they rest him for the next game as a precaution or is a week and a half long enough?

It's a split round so he has plenty of time to heal, he will play Adelaide.

Good info DeeStarr...thanks for that update

Spoke to one of the players today after the trip and they thought it was an awesome few days. It seems like a great initiative that Beamer has started, definately something you would expect from a potential future captain!

Also wanted to comment on Watts' taping on the groin area...I know that players with Osteitis Pubis have very very similar taping to this area. Definatley not saying JW has osteitis, but possibly he has just been sore in that area and this is a precautionary taping...

Just a long shot though...

I was going to post the same and I am sure Sylvia had similar tape that assisted him in his early days.

I think the point of the tape is to aid with stability. but rather than OP, it may be becase of his earlier back problems. Thatwould make sense asits only on one side.

Given he is doing full training it seems more precaution or something they are managing that an actual injury.

In saying that I actually have no idea and it's all a guess...but it doesn't seem like surgery or anything we should worry about.

For those of you who wanted Watts to get knocked around a bit at the camp. He has a broken nose from a hook... i think from Moloney

Can anyone confirm?

More evidence that Beamer is a natural born leader. Should be captain next year for sure!!!!!

Couldn't agree more, Redleg! Beamer is living his dream -- playing for the club he loved as a kid! And, he's doing it with real, genuine passion -- both on and off the field! I am just so thrilled for him.

Last Saturday he was absolutely spent at the end of the match. He gave absolutely everything in his desire to get the team across the line. With cramp in both legs, his final disposal of the match had to be a handball off to a team-mate. He could then only watch and hope, but alass, not to be...

Next Captain? Really think he's hard to go past.

Go Beamer! Go Dees!

In the preseason he missed most games because of a back complaint, He wears the tape for posture.

Agree R24. I have to admit to being uncertain until this year, but from what I have seen and heard of his work, both on and off the field, I'm now convinced that he would be my choice when Junior steps aside.

I can... Its according to Max Gawn.

Fair enough. I'm guessing young Jack will be glad he doesn't have to go next year what with Chook belting him last year and Beamer this one.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
