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.

first time poster, long time reader... have a bit of inside knowledge around the club, so i'd thought i'd share that Tom Scully is not on the trip as he is getting his wisdom teeth out tomorrow

that is all :)

Welcome DeeStarr. Really appreciate info from 'inside'the Club, where appropriate.

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...

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.

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.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
