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.

Seems like a 'wise' move by the club during the week off...

From Demonology:

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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
